Atelier Missor just unveiled their 50-foot bronze Prometheus statue to mixed reactions; some hail it as a return to powerful, mythically inspired artwork. Others are critical of the execution, saying it fails to live up to the standards of classical beauty it seeks to restore. And others yet posit that mere imitation of the past shouldn't be the goal at all, that simply emulating ancient statues doesn't make us like them... Teddy Roosvelt's Man in the Arena quote is relevant here; it's easy to be the critic, to point out shortcomings from the safety of the stands. I, who have...

At the 2017 Emmy Awards, Dolly was reunited with her co-stars from the 1980 hit comedy Nine to Five. It was nine months into the Trump administration, and two of the presenters weren’t about to let you forget it. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda let loose mini-screeds against Trump. Dolly looks uncomfortable, then defuses the awkwardness by making a joke about the size of her breasts. And the podcasters want to know—they need to know—why Dolly didn’t attack Trump along with her co-stars and friends. Doesn’t she hate the guy? (Translation: Please tell us you hate the guy!) For the...

This is one of the most beloved paintings in America, and it puts its finger on something we all pass through, first as the child, and one day as the parent left behind... The painting is Breaking Home Ties<, by Norman Rockwell, on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1954. A father and his teenage son sit side by side on the running board of a battered farm truck, waiting at a railway stop. A single track runs along the bottom of the picture. A ticket pokes from the boy's pocket. His suitcase is stacked with schoolbooks and...

I had never heard of Citizen Vigilante, Uwe Boll's new film starring Armie Hammer, until a few days ago. That's when I read that this movie has been effectively banned in Germany and the United Kingdom. Something about it encouraging violence against migrants. But then Elon Musk made Citizen Vigilante available to watch for free on his X (formerly Twitter) platform. Something that would avoid the censorious thought police and let the people see and decide on their own. Which only made the German and British governments even more furious. Rush Limbaugh called it the "Streisand Effect": trying to keep...

The once-venerable news program “60 Minutes” is in a state of tumult these days, to put it lightly. The show’s parent network, CBS News, has undergone drastic changes under the new leadership of editor-in-chief Bari Weiss — and “60 Minutes” has been no exception to the general overhaul as Weiss tries to make the network more centrist. (Both CBS News and “60 Minutes” had long been accused of veering to the far left.) Among a litany of smaller changes, the biggest changes that Weiss has been making to “60 Minutes” have largely been with the staffing. The most notable of...

Here’s what we know so far: Rob Reiner’s son Nick has been arrested on suspicion of murdering his parents. Nick, 32, cycled in and out of rehab centers, blaming his drug use on the fame surrounding his father and his grandfather, the comedian Carl Reiner. Nick got into a fight with his parents during a holiday party hosted by comedian Conan O’Brien on Saturday night. Family friends told The Times that Nick had been living in a guesthouse on his parents’ property and that his mother had become increasingly concerned about his mental health in recent weeks. The medical examiner...

Nick Reiner, who is under arrest for the murder of Rob and Michele Reiner, checked into a Santa Monica hotel early Sunday morning, and left a trail of blood behind ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ. Nick checked into The Pierside Santa Monica around 4 AM Sunday, using his credit card. His check-in came hours after he got into a heated argument with his father at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party. Eyewitnesses who saw Nick check in say he seemed "tweaked out", but there were no visible signs he had been in a violent confrontation -- we're told definitely no...

A few months ago, someone left an Amazon review for a Creative Thinking Journal, I created. The review stated that the journal might have been worthwhile if the guided exercises weren’t “specifically about liberal thoughts.” Huh! I thought. I had no intention of writing a book about creativity for leftists. Many of the creative activities introduced in the guided journal are open-ended and rely on free association, allowing users to add anything they choose without being told what to say or think. The question nagged at me: Is it even possible to create a book on creativity that isn’t inherently...

Jacques-Louis David's The Death of Marat is a deceptively simple image of a real-life murder. But a closer look at David's iconic painting reveals the political messages contained within.Great art makes us do a double take. It makes us look, then look again. Take The Death of Marat, 1793, perhaps the most famous crime scene depiction of the past 250 years. At first glance, the portrayal of the murdered body of the French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat, stabbed to death in his bath on 13 July 1793, could hardly be simpler. The slain journalist, who had agitated for the execution of...
