Crappy hockey and theater links
I went to the Rangers game tonight because I thought it would be less depressing than the debate. Boy, was I wrong.
In addition to exceedingly sloppy, uninspired hockey, tonight also featured the worst "Potvin Sucks" chanting I've ever heard. The first 30 minutes of the game practically begged for the chant about 90% of the time, but the only time it managed to get chanted was when something actually important was going on. In sum, the whole night just seemed.
Too tired to do a full on blog post on theater, but here are the links that have drawn my eye today:
-Time Out Chicago covers marketing: Elizabethan style. You may Marnie Stern's new album had a long title, but she ain't got nothing on Marlowe.
-Frost/Nixon: not so much, says the L.A. Times. This is particularly depressing, because the main knock on the play crtics had was that it would be better off as a movie.
-CNN Newsanchor says the worst word in the English language—twice!
-Milan Kundera, former Soviet informant (though still not as big of a hypocrite as Gunter Grass).
Labels: bad words, christopher marlowe, cnn, frost/nixon, hockey, los angeles times, marnie stern, milan kundera, new york rangers, politics, potvin sucks, shakespeare
Tynan's Anger, a blog by Ethan Stanislawski, looks to find a place for theater and the arts in a digital age.
