Coy toy: Tony Scott reads Fuck
Friday's NY Times has an extended, favorable review of a film called ****. "Just to clear up any confusion: the four stars in the box accompanying this article do not represent a rave review," A. O. Scott writes, "though I did quite enjoy the movie in question. Really, what sort of a critic do you think I am? Certainly not one who resorts to nonverbal, quantitative means of expressing opinions. This just isn’t that kind of newspaper. 
Nor, however, is it the kind that will permit me to print the title of Steve Anderson’s rowdy and contentious new documentary, which consists of a single, highly versatile English word. I have been known to use the word in mixed company and even, I blush to admit, around my children — but only pedagogically, to call attention to the laxity of other drivers on family car trips. Never in front of the readers, though." [Further whimsy at the link.]
