  • Pushkin’s ‘Comedy of Distress’ Today


    Net News Publisher — Authority Authority: 153
    Regular readers know that I am particularly taken with the phrase “comedy of distress,” which seems to have originated with Alexander Pushkin .

  • Best 80s Teen Villan : James Spader or Billy Zabka?My vote...


    Soup | Anthony De Rosa — Authority Authority: 705
    Best 80s Teen Villan : James Spader or Billy Zabka? My vote is no question, Spader. He was the ultimate passive aggressive WASP asshole. He was also oddly likable.

    Show Showdown — Authority Authority: 126
    The proximity of the recent Oleanna revival just two blocks away makes David Mamets new play feel just a smidgen formulaic. In both, an angry young woman betrays her mentor because of a grievance for which he is culpable only in an abstract, class-informed way. The thing is, Mamet is so good at provocative ...
