Camille Paglia's Laff Riot

"However, no one can doubt Madonna's energy, drive, and perfectionism, as well as her infallibly theatrical fashion sense. She's been a huge force in the modern performing arts, and whatever gripes one may have about her present taste or lifestyle pale in comparison to the enormity of her achievement."

"A great film by definition is one that invites and demands repeated re-viewings. For example, I've seen such films as The Philadelphia Story, Gone with the Wind, All About Eve, The Ten Commandments, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Auntie Mame, Ben-Hur, Suddenly Last Summer, Lawrence of Arabia, and Valley of the Dolls countless times and look forward to many more. For me, they are permanent life experiences."
