“Though we’ve been known to take a bit of an interest in Susan Cole’s writing in this column, it almost seems untoward to add to any more fuel to the still roaring Susan Cole–fire (see what we did there?). But it’s impossible to talk about any of this week’s film coverage without noting the strange sort of dissonance going on in NOW’s film pages, relating specifically to Sasha Baron Cohen’s Brüno. First, we’ve got Norm Wilner’s overwhelmingly negative review, where he claims that ‘it’s shock comedy based entirely on gay panic’—a point that a lot of pre-release coverage implied. Then there’s Susan Cole’s ‘feature’ on the movie, which is, ahem, another review of it.”
