Just caught the NY Times in a spelling error.
In an article on the new welcoming of maturity in fashion, an article citing examples: Catherine Deneuve's partnership with MAC; Sharon Stone with Dior and Kim Bassinger with Miu Miu written By Mary Tannen, she concludes her essay with the point that throughout history mature women have iconoclastically hit their scenes. One example is Euripedes' Medea. She misspelled Euripides. Thankfully she didn't misspell Media. Oops.
While on the subject of contributors to the NY Times, I have to mention Manohla Dargis, a toughie to spell in its own right.
I don't like her reviews.
She uses purple pansy prose to illustrate paragraphs of mostly catty content.
In her article on the Sundance Film Festival, it wasn't anything but an epitaph. I didn't read past the second paragraph, so maybe she changed her tone somewhere along the way. I hope.
So what if the festival is commercial!
It still does the work of fostering less commercial projects, which is its purpose.
I suppose critics don't have to be unbiased journalists.
No, they can print their bitterness on pages and vent out the fact that they get paid to watch and comment on 90 bad movies to 10 good ones, and put the blame on Robert Redford.
Well, he is still taking leaps off cliffs in waters he is sure he can't swim in.
What about you Manohla?
