...fact, I’m convinced it is the end of an era, but I should have been careful what I wished for. For this Second Coming is even more monstrous than the past. It is hubris, overweening obnoxious arrogance, an inversion of all that was wrong with the past. It’s hard to blame them, with the world champion Red Sox and the Olympian Patriots. Of course, no one mentions the Celtics or Bruins anymore, mummified teams of a dead divinity. But it is really swinging from one pole of narcissism to another: first the eternal victim...

More prominent than the bling and the foreign currency is the crack. Not to say there’s anything wrong with a little cook-up, but I don’t have nearly enough fingers to count all the visual and verbal references to the drug made throughout. What with all the subliminal-message-sending quick-cuts used by director Hype Williams, it’s hard not to come...
