American Theatre article by Marshal W. Mason

The April 2007 issue of American Theatre has an article titled, On the Capriciousness of Critics, written by five-time Tony nominee, Marshal W. Mason.
I enjoyed the article. Mr. Mason has a great sense of humor. His ideas about theater criticism have been written about by others (David Mamet talks about critics in many of his essays).
Has anyone out there read the article?
What do you think?

Has Anyone Seen "Sherrybaby" ?

Just saw "Sherrybaby" and I'm very impressed with the cast and the director's vision. I've seen films like this before ("Valerie Flake", "Spitfire Grill", etc) but when it's doen well, i don't mind seeing another take on the story of redemption. But it's more than just redemption. It's also a story about genuinely wanting something from life and having to deal with not getting it the way you want it and when you think you need it. But enough about me...what do you think?

"The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle

Actress Gillian Anderson recommended this book on her official website.
I've read it and thought it was phenomenal.
It's labeled as "self-help" but, in my opinion, is different than the regular fare.
Has anyone read it?
If so, what did you think?
Let's talk.
