Don't you just deplore those mealy mouthed critics like Peter Biskind who just wrote a book about the likes of movie people like the very talented Robert Redford. Sure his movies are slow and ponderous but there is nothing vulgar or uncouth about Out of Africa, Gatsby, Horse Whisperer, drames bourgeoises to be sure but infinitely better than a pathetic "critic's" contribution to humanity.

Years ago the Winter Antiques Show at the Armory was such an exciting event; now it is a tired assemblage of old furniture that only the "making-it" Kozlowski's and Black's of the world, totally devoid of culture or taste, desire to possess.
