Recently, one of the co-authors of The Film Snob*s Dictionary, namely Lawrence “Looker” Levi, gave a rather unfavorable New York Times review to David Thomson’s book-length appreciation of Nicole Kidman. This prompted Thomson to write a peeved letter to the Times Book Review in response in which he actually makes a snide reference to The Film Snob*s Dictionary, a book Thomson admits he hasn’t read. Gentlemen, gentlemen! Please, why don’t you both drop this feud and focus on your common ground, namely that you, along with Levi’s co-author David Kamp, share a spirited enthusiasm for Douglas McGrath’s Truman Capote film Infamous, which at last is getting its U.S. release?

Green. Pejorative slang term for an under-ripe wine, usually a red, that has flavors of green bell peppers and/or other salad produce. To suggest that a wine is green is to intimate that its grapes were either harvested too soon, picked from young vines, or the product of a poor vintage, all high crimes in the court of the Snob. It had a decent concentration, but I couldn’t get past how green it was on the nose. Read more from the Wine Snob's Dictionary »
