...Another is that Brokeback is one of those movies whose word-of-mouth makes a lot of people reluctant to see it. And not just right-wing commentators. The notion of a couple of cowpokes playing the two-backed beast is too... icky for some folks. Not that the pileup of animosities and implausibilities in Crash is easy to take, but that movie?s excesses got audiences, whether they liked it or hated it, talking far into the night. That gave the film the patina of Importance, another preferred word around Oscar time. Is Crash provocative, reckless, incendiary? So were...
...Straight, Cohen, Moskowitz, Toussaint, and others—a word-of-mouth search found 11 current Harvard seniors who are engaged—do not a trend make. Over the last few decades, people in the United States have started to marry later, according to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau. The median age at first marriage was 20.8 for women and 23.2 for men in 1970, 23.9 for women and 26.1 for men in 1990, and has increased to 25.3 for women...

Perhaps my instinct to hop on the anti-Fork bandwagon (a smaller, more dilapidated wagon then the Fork model itself) stems from my attachment to word-of-mouth, an age-old method of discovery that necessitates… gasp…real human interaction on some level. If you sit alone and bulldoze through the recent reviews on Pitchfork, it seems to perpetuate the isolationist, ever-headphoned culture that I most concretely associate with those “discovering themselves” on Pitchfork. Spend that time talking and listening to music with other people, branch out and meet...
...Sextrology began with a modest printing of 10,000 copies in the U.S. in January, and has since grown into a word-of-mouth phenomenon, with six printings and total sales of almost 50,000 copies. Since the book's European launch during the summer, international sales have reached some 10,000 copies, mostly in Britain; Starsky and Cox are in discussion with the BBC about developing a companion TV series. "Sextrology tells you everything you ever needed to know about your other half?but were afraid to ask," says BBC producer Sally Lisk-Lewis. The authors have also sold...
