Two Reviews
U2's my favorite band, and have been since they came out with "The Unforgetable Fire," but their new album "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" is total crap-- don't buy it. Not one good song-- not even one decent song-- on the whole album, and that includes that new IPod song "Vertigo," which is a total rip-off of Diana Ross' "Set Me Free" anyways.
Andrew Sullivan (my favorite blogger, present company excluded, of course) says "Team America" was the best movie of the year. Sure, the politics of the film are fabulously articulated, whether you agree with them or not-- but on every other count the movie is boring, tired, not funny, and vulgar in the extreme. I'm a huge South Park fan-- I wanted out of the theater in minutes.

Sullivan is awesome. The thing I like best about him is his intense commitment to intellectual honesty. I mean, look at the guy-- he's an HIV positive openly homosexual fiscally conservative socially progressive pro-life hawk who so opposes Bush's handling of the war that he voted for Kerry. Whether you agree with him or not (and I often don't), he's fascinating, and he conveys his wide-ranging POV so clearly and with so much humanity-- you really feel like you get to know the guy. You really feel him struggle with the issues. And he's right-- he does have the best reader commentary on the web. I aspire to have a blog like his.
