RUN AND GUN: The Mike Nichols-directed production of The Country Girl, starring Morgan Freeman, Frances McDormand, and Peter Gallagher gets a rather acerbic pan from Ben Brantley today, but more interesting than that is that the Times has decided that the top cultural event of today, worthy of the space normally reserved for theatrical, filmic, or literary blockbusters, is Grand Theft Auto IV, which the Times raves about, calling it "violent, intelligent, profane, endearing, obnoxious, sly, richly textured and thoroughly compelling." That review just solidified my intent to go out and buy this one.

(Also, the Times asks whether Vanity Fair will destroy Miley Cyrus' career. Given what other starlets are doing, I think not.)
