		<description><![CDATA[Okay this is way off tangent but&#8230;I saw &#8220;Tropic Thunder&#8221; this weekend and it was hi-lar-i-ous.  Just a fun, wacky, clever romp.  Robert Downey, Jr. was brilliant, actually Oscar Worthy.
But more to the point: what is the deal with these developmentally-challenged groups (and I&#8217;m talking about the bureaucrats not their clientele) bleating on and on about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick note about the Dave Depino Memorial at the Odyssey last week.  Again, I didn&#8217;t know him that well, but well enough, and judging by the love and respect from the 50+ people there - many of them fellow critics - Dave was a &#8220;Critics Choice&#8221; kind of guy.  I heartily concur.
It certainly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LA WEEKLY
THEATER PICK ASSASSINS When composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim and writer John Weidman look at assassins, their vision is wayward, tough, ambiguous, sympathetic and bitterly satiric. They see people desperate and unhappy enough to embrace the quick and easy solution that never works. The figures they show us — John Wilkes Booth (Christopher Davis Carlisle); Lee [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maybe we should re-imagine the profession of the critic?
 Starting off by perhaps calling them &#8220;Advocates&#8221; or &#8220;Arts Advocates&#8221; rather than &#8220;reviewers&#8221; or &#8220;critics&#8221;?  I realize there&#8217;s a gay magazine (or a relgious magazine not sure which) called the Advocate - so they may have already co-opted the word &#8220;advocate&#8221;.  I remember I fought my gay [...]]]></description>

Critic and friend, Madeline Shaner wrote a lovely tribute here along with a republished letter from 2000 about the late Dave Depino &#8220;The Goodest [...]]]></description>

He passed away a few days ago.  I knew him, not well, but well enough.  Rest in peace [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[VARIETY


 By Julio MartinezULIO MARTINEZ
Shel Silverstein Uncensored
In an awkward though occasionally rewarding abridged rendering of &#8220;An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein,&#8221; the five-member ensemble&#8217;s uneven musical talents undermine Silverstein&#8217;s quirky sense of satire. Helmer Dan Bonnell has staged seven Silverstein vignettes, underscoring both the humor and the basic cruelty inherent within most human interaction. But [...]]]></description>
