Two nice profiles: Nathan Lane and his new adaptation of Aristophanes's The Frogs, and Avi Arad, the smart and comics-obsessed head of Marvel Studios.

An article on lesbian style notes that gay women were the first people to wear trucker hats and cowboy boots, and that "in a business that often seems creatively dominated by gay men, the idea of lesbians still has the power to startle." Plenty here for the fashion industry cynic.

An article on the Cure notes that although Robert Smith "was considered a dreamy lightweight" by unidentified considerers, it turns out he's influenced a lot of current bands. Plenty here for the rock criticism cynic.

Film Forum is doing a retrospective of Mexican film. The worst thing about reading the New York Times every Sunday is not being in New York.

On the other hand, the Times does suffer from a rather blinkered perspective. Truckers were the first people to wear trucker caps and shitkickers. Well, or possibly farmers, except they preferred different headwear until fairly recently.
