"I have just heard that John Simon has been fired from the post he long disgraced at New York Magazine. In his departure he accomplishes that which during his tenure eluded him: he has finally done something for the American Theatre." --David Mamet

Posted: 5/12/05 at 1:56pmI'm not the biggest fan of Mamet. But that's pretty great.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 5/12/05 at 5:28pmIf Mamet's last few plays were half as intelligent as that article, Simon wouldn't have to continually pan him.
