It's Complicated


It's Complicated is not complicated at all. It's a pristinely crafted storythat's set in some of the most impeccably appointed interiors this side of House Beautiful. (www.housebeautiful.com) Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin are an inspired pairing as two exes who haven't completely embraced their ex-ness.

House Beautiful is the lone survivor of House and Garden a/k/a HG, Domino, and, I think, Metropolitan Home. Architectural Digest caters to a different market, as does Dwell....

Mary Kay Place obviously is a draw for the perceived market: women of a certain age with a taste for "wry" romantic comedies about women of a certain age. I guess Diane Keaton wouldn't do a walk-on.

Sharp observation about Mary Kay. Because she was so inert, I was wondering if she was all right. It was weird.

Danai Gurira

  I don't know all of Danai Gurira's story but what I do know is every bit what America is about when it's functioning properly....
