Love reading his stuff.
To: Pokey78
"I have met, somebody," he said. "It is, I think, serious." That comma between "met" and "somebody" irritated me far more than the sex. They're like rests in orchestral scores: you feel he's advertising his characters' thoughtfulness. Better that they ride each other's bottoms through the night than they ride each other's commas, which is how they pass much of the day.God how I love Steyn's writing. He wields such magnificent turns of phrase--I'm alternatively awestruck and jealous.

Almost as funny as the post-coital activities in Kingpin......

There's plenty of activism in this piece. Just read about poor Daisy's exploits in Judith Krantz's prose.
;O)

Steyn explains so well why I always prefer the "airline" version of movies. There is so much to be said for the "fade to black" and the door closing.

I can't believe he mentioned that scene from Princess Daisy -- I remember thinking it was so weird, and a little disturbing, that Krantz had written it (See? She's a real person!). (But not as disturbing as a certain unmentionable scene in Endless Love. *shudder*)

Hmmm.
If he doesn't like reading this stuff, how come he knows so much about it?

...which is one of those phrases that always reminds me of the queen of Australian comedy, Dame Edna Everage: introducing a show from her hilltop retreat, she declared, "Everyone is welcome to Mount Edna." ROTFLMAO! Steyn is truly the One-Man Content Provider!

"When it comes to sex scenes, if you can't break new ground, at least break new wind."A classic....can we quote you on that?
To: Pokey78
I wish Mark Steyn would get his own syndicated radio talk show. We need him to get nationwide exposure!!! bttt

Steyn has come unhinged. ... interesting comment, in the context of this article about "bad writing about sex." Quite an interesting mental image....

Steyn at his best -- and that's saying a lot. Hilarious!
