Festival of France affair flops

By Noah Epstein | February 23

The Kennedy Center, as part of a special two-month "Festival of France," presents the American debut of "Les Sublimes" by Compagnie Hendrick van der Zee. With Guy Alloucherie as the artistic director, and person whose life the narrative is based on, this French production unintentionally raises an important question: How experimental can a show get before it no longer is art? After enduring "Les Sublimes," the answer to that question is quite a lot.

Men in the fashion world: Dapper is as dapper does

By Dwaun Sellers | February 23

Throughout history, women may have been credited for sparking trends, but it's typically men who are the driving force behind the designs. Major fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Chanel, Burberry, Dior, Gucci and countless others are currently headed by men. So it's baffling why the average man is not targeted more in terms of fashion advertisements and magazines.

'Straight Plan' rips off 'Queer Eye'

By Michael Vallebuona | February 23

Comedy Central's "Straight Plan for the Gay Man" might have seemed like a good idea on paper. Its concept is an obvious and inevitable rip-off of Bravo's "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy": A fraternity of straight comedians - the so-called "Flab Four" - help a gay man achieve his dream of becoming a pot-bellied, beer-guzzling booty worshiper.

When in Rome

By Blair Payne | February 23

Last night I happened upon my day planner, buried underneath my school books. I opened it up and saw that Jan. 19 was the last date crossed off, the day that I left for Rome. It took me a minute to get over the initial shock of realizing that I haven't even thought about time management since I've been in Rome.

Music: Brit rockers unleash 'Cast of Thousands'

By Sarah Reed | February 19

There are some Anglophiles, like yours truly, who feel that Radiohead's "OK Computer" should be mass-mailed to every American. Others find it too eccentric, preferring to stick to more Brit-rock artists like Oasis and early Blur. However, in recent years, new British groups have culled from both styles to create a sort of "dream-pop indie" genre, with Elbow's sophomore release "Cast of Thousands" fitting neatly into the lot.

Film: 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen'

By Emily Zemler | February 19

Since her first pairing with Disney for the 1998 remake of "The Parent Trap," Lindsay Lohan's sassy style has graced the screen for several rather enjoyable family films. Last summer's remake of "Freaky Friday," which set Lohan opposite Jamie Lee Curtis, was remarkably well acted and a refreshing oasis in an otherwise dry season of movies. "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" differs from Lohan's previous two films in that she is no longer supported by well-respected, top-notch actors; now Lohan is billed as the star.

The Rusty Nail: A serious look at the silly SC elections

By L. Russell Allen IV | February 19

This has always been my favorite time of the year. Why? Because it clearly paints me as a hypocrite. I spend a lot of time making fun of these elections, but I always end up getting carried away and helping someone put up posters or wearing illegal campaign stickers within the apolitical walls of TDR.

Invasion of the blog: The net's pseudo-soapbox

By Brady Williamson | February 19

Since the dawn of time, man has yearned to express himself. Sumerian cuneiform tablets, Egyptian papyrus, Gutenberg bibles - all these testify to the inborn need to share one's knowledge with the world and to tell others of the deep philosophical insights gained over the course of a life.
