Doctor.
How Doctor’s Think, Jerome Groopman. SOOOOO EXQUISITELY TAILORED TO THE NPR/NEW YORKER CREW. YIKES. So preciously tweedy and proper and bougie and hedged in ambivalence but in that sort of hemming and hawing way that seems like treading water. Lacks the killer instinct that I guess appeals to The Youths? I mean, don’t get me wrong. Appreciate it, in its own measured way, and...

Lee Friedlander and Don DeLillo. Think about it!
No, actually I thought about it. I don’t know how that makes me feel. But somehow? On a strict diet of non-fluids, like 24 hours after a horrible, involuntarily 3 days of master cleansing?

BRIDESMAIDS (2011). So! Like. This movie. It’s supposed to save women in comedy or women and comedy or something! And it’s the Hangover or the anti-Hangover, and a social statement or a statement about How Things Are. Or. Something! But really, just shut up and stop.
