Anniversary Issue! 7 Feb 2013 | 07:33 pm
I've been reading the magazine now and then for the past year, but not in a very immersive way. More like in a Yes! No! Like! WTF! kind of way. Denby, television reviews, election politics, k-pop, tha...
carte blanche is no way to run a cultural life 1 Dec 2011 | 10:58 am
You tell 'em. Anthony Lane made me laugh with joy in the bathroom: There’s only one problem with home cinema: it doesn’t exist. The very phrase is an oxymoron. As you pause your film to answer the do...

Do I have any idea who this Whitney Cummings person is? Does my television even work? Have I ever seen more 30 Rock than the awful pilot? No, no, and no. So thank you, Emily Nussbaum, for so quickly a...
Grunge! Rinse. Repeat. 12 Oct 2011 | 10:29 am
Courtney Love and Johnny Depp all in one issue? Is it Sassy? Is it 1991? No, it is this month's Vanity Fair. But I always stop reading articles about Johnny Depp about half-way through. He's never re...
Over the Rimbaud 22 Sep 2011 | 10:13 am
I found Mendelsohn's "Critic at Large" piece on Rimbaud completely enjoyable. I loved the way Mendelsohn wove together the best one-liners from critics, and reviews of the (not so recent) biographies ...

Anna Faris = Feminist Masochism. Her life, her work, the article itself. Makes you want to go cold turkey and enter some sort of upstate separatist enclave. Failing that, spend a moment or two with t...
Films People Walked Out On Summer 2011 28 Jun 2011 | 06:06 am
If you're not inclined to see Tree of Life, Anthony Lane's review will bring you up to speed. David Denby on Meek's Cutoff, "a pleasureless, anti-sensuous aesthetic." !!?? Whose experience does he me...
The Trial of St. Joan 11 Jun 2011 | 01:59 am
Did you really think I was going to let that slide? Denby and "The Case for Joan Crawford." Denby seems – rightly – rather scared of Joan Crawford. Not because she is all the intimidating and vaguely...
where intelligent classy well-educated women who say "fuck" alot meet... 4 Jun 2011 | 04:49 am
"Christ, What an asshole!" Apparently, one of the earliest uses of the word "asshole" in TNY involves no less a powerful and artsy triumvirate than Janet Malcolm, Ingrid Sischy and Rosalind Krauss. ...
geez louise 2 Jun 2011 | 10:29 am
I read full articles on Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Taylor in VF this past weekend. I was at the beach, right? I've always loved Taylor's looks, at every age, in every way. But she's not that intere...
