New York Times digital subscriptions
The New York Times digital subscription people must be very tired. It’s not some great rate on the first eight weeks I care about, but rather the regular rate after that. And that regular rate is both too high and too fixed. I wish they would try a proxri approach.
Cory Monteith is a Canadian. In his role as Finn Hudson on Glee, he pulls off a combination of innocence, honesty, strength, and naturalness. Topped off with the occasional wonder at how amazing life can be. Could an American have pulled this off? Have we Americans often become a bit too jaded, ironic, or sophisticated for our own good? Too cool? Of course not all Americans are, but I wonder about the available pool of actors in Hollywood.
No way the cast of Glee does all the singing in their songs. Not that there’s anything so wrong about that.
Also, sometimes the music tracks are so good I wonder if they got some of the sound files from the original artists. Anyone know?
Here are my reviews of “North by Northwest” (the Hitchcock film).
Negative: Implausibility heaped upon implausibility.
Positive: Eva Marie Saint is hot.
Neutral: A fine film.
Mixed: Combine the above into one sentence. I can’t be bothered.
Nasty: Formulaic and overly stylized.
Enthusiastic: Full of brio and charm.
It’s much more fun to write several conflicting reviews. Isn’t that how we think, anyway?
