Goldstein, Tarantino and House of Leaves

March 9, 2010

A couple of weeks ago Patrick Goldstein, lefty critic of the lefty Los Angeles Times, had a go at me for my attack on Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds.  I didn’t say at the time that I was right and Goldstein was wrong because, of course, it went without saying.  But he did make a point [...]

Me On Red Eye

March 8, 2010

You may think you saw the Oscars last night – you may even think you skipped watching the Oscars – but no, no, my friend.  Klavan on the Culture Thursday is on the way and we’ll show you the real Academy Awards later this week.
Also, tomorrow, I’ll have more to say on my little dust-up [...]

HMS Pinafore

March 6, 2010

One of the great pleasures of my east coast trip was seeing a small production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore.  I’ve always loved G&S but it’s been years since I’ve seen one of their operettas and I’d forgotten how incredibly good they are.  What really startled me was how much modern humor is derived [...]

The Paper of Record

March 5, 2010

I’m going to miss newspapers once they’re gone, I must admit.  I love them and reading them online just isn’t the same.  One of my favorites is the New York Post:  great writing, great coverage, great attitude.
Great headlines too.  Wednesday’s edition had a story on model Naomi Campbell beating up her chauffeur headlined “Driving Miss [...]

Pass Me A Grapefruit

March 4, 2010

Remember that famous scene in the old film Public Enemy where Jimmy Cagney shoves a grapefruit into a woman’s face?   It came to mind for some reason when I read this dopey op-ed by Kim Elsesser this morning in the New York Times.
Now, normally, I’m so delighted to see the Times put its opinion pieces [...]

Here’s a vid I made for Thomas Nelson publishers plugging The Long Way Home – have I mentioned you can click the link and buy it at Amazon?  Oh.

Witness To A Hit?

March 2, 2010

I don’t read the New York Times much anymore because I find it actually sucks information out of my head, making me less informed than I was when I started.  But I’m in New York, and my hotel leaves it on my doorstep for free…  If I stay here much longer I’ll actually know nothing.
Monday’s [...]

Emperor Me

March 1, 2010

An article up at Spero News describes me as being “rather like a one-man media empire.” I wish they’d added, “but better looking.” No such luck. Here’s how it begins:
“Andrew Klavan is already the author of several crime novels. Turned into Hollywood movies,“True Crime” and “Don’t Say a Word” featured Clint Eastwood and Michael Douglas, [...]
