If you think Pasternak is 'very complimentary' I wonder if YOU read all of it. Would a 'complimentary' book 'deconstruct what was left of Martha's carefully constructed veneer,' as you put it? I believe Stewart produces her daughter's show, so she must be OK with that. Their relationship is their business, not mine. I did read the book cover to cover.

Before you judge the author as greedy, read it. It is not a scathing tell-all, it's mostly very complimentary to Martha. Watch Martha's daughter's show, "Whatever", on cable to see how she feels about her. It's very apparent that something is wrong in their relationship. I'm glad this book was written; it completes the story and deconstructs what was left of Martha's carefully constructed veneer. I read this book and it has the ring of truth to it.

Sigh. People. A tad hypocritical to judge Stewart for her greed and lack of humanity as you cash-in with a scathing tell-all about your famous ex-friend, no? Sigh. People.

Companies who started utilizing the internet, especially social media, to introduce their products experienced a huge huge increase in sales. Conventional ad companies should think of something fast or they'll be out of business soon. This is going to be a huge success.

There are authors who are great for a couple of books and then go on their reputation and produce a book a year, non worth looking at. Every book she wrote is terrific and she never let me down yet.

]]> Comment on ‘A Single Man’: Tom Ford looks beneath the surface by Francesca http://blog.ctnews.com/meyers/2010/01/28/%e2%80%98a-single-man%e2%80%99-tom-ford-looks-beneath-the-surface/#comment-659 Francesca Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:47:39 +0000 http://blog.ctnews.com/meyers/?p=4563#comment-659 I liked this movie, but I thought moments were overly stylized - the few coming to mind were the slow-mo shots of the neighbor kids, or other weird off-kilter close-ups - at times it felt self-consciously "arty." While Tom Ford deserves some praise, I thought the movie was made by Firth's performance. Where the cinematography was occasionally heavy-handed, Firth was subtle and complex. It could have been shot on a Flip Video camera, and Colin Firth would have made it a compelling movie.
