Ben Brantley has a problem...

Ben is just grumpy he wasn't cast as Cowboy in THE BOYS IN THE BAND so he's taking it out on everyone else.

THE BOYS (AND BEN)

That is incredible and explains a lot.

Not a good day for the cowboy...

I have a problem with Ben Brantley. His reviews don't make sense. If he likes something, I usually don't feel the same way. I wonder why "The Times" has allowed him to continue as their chief drama critic all these years. I think they should bring back Frank RIch.

So you're saying he is consistent in his tastes?

That would be called a difference of opinions.

I find that I agree with Ben about 75% of the time, he is pretty consistent, and I like much of what he champions, but I don't think he is a very good writer. The comment about Rich is, uh, naive.

I actually think he's a very good writer.
