After you finish reading "Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark," you'll know what Meryl's next movie should be. Imagine the scene in which Gina gets married and Mamma Dearest says, "Oh, shit!"
Ironic, given how much Kael disparaged Streep. I used to enjoy reading Kael for the style and verve, but I'm so over her--probably not an issue for her as she's been dead for sometime now.
