The Rusty Nail: You're so vain, SC

By Lester Russell Allen IV | November 22

Did you hear the exciting news? Did you? Maybe you missed it but, apparently, they are trying to change the Constitution. Of course, I am not speaking of the U.S. Constitution - you know, the one where you can't have slaves (good) and foreigners can't run for president (bad). No, AU's General Assembly has decided to make some very important changes - so important that the student body has the opportunity to vote on them after Thanksgiving break. My loins are quivering in anticipation.

By Matt Rajput | November 22

How is the universe functioning without Troy Duffy explaining everyone's role to us in every moment of every day? Troy Duffy asks himself that question a million times a day. The real question is: Who the hell is Troy Duffy? Troy Duffy is the writer and director of the high school home video cult favorite movie "The Boondock Saints," which is about two brothers from Boston who take Providence into their own hands and start killing mafia guys. The movie is nothing too spectacular, but a lot of people seem to like it, myself included. But don't tell Troy Duffy that.

'Earnest' cast can't pull off accents

By Crista Scaturro | November 22

The Importance of Being Earnest," by Oscar Wilde, is set in London and the English countryside. One would think, then, that the actors performing this play might make some effort to affect English accents. Unfortunately, only three members of the Arena Stage's cast manage to speak without bludgeoning the accent of our English forebears. The rest of the cast seems to have lacked any assistance from a dialogue coach, and are instead fine with just winging it. Wilde may have been rolling over in his grave.
