...sleeping pills, the first of four such attempts. At her mother's urging she switched psychiatrists, but after stripping back her regimen to a single drug, Prozac, the new doctor gradually built it up again. Beddoe developed akathisia, which she describes "as a horrible energy that fills you with angst and dread and propels you to move about constantly." Akathisia can be a manifestation of SSRI sensitivity, and "it's psychiatry's dirty little secret," says skeptic Lucire. But Beddoe's psychiatrist saw it as just another symptom of his patient's illness...
...movie that elicited the term Brat Pack for a bunch of young actors was actually St. Elmo's Fire. This set of three films--The Breakfast Club, Weird Science and Sixteen Candles--should be named for writer-director John Hughes, who zeroed in on the light side of teen angst, or Molly Ringwald, his russet-haired muse. Hughes got the social pain of class rivalries, puppy lust and ineffectual parents, making it all funny and agreeable. Sixteen Candles is his Cinderella, The Breakfast Club his No Exit and Weird Science ... well, that one's just weird...
...Rands’ real life marriage translates into a genuine, modern relationship on screen. Shuli Rand’s performance is exceptional.

Here, 2 Many DJs finally gets around to remixing Soulwax, and never mind the identity politics, it works to great effect. The pedestrian angst of Krack is recast with a tighter rhythm and a jubilant harmony; Miserable Girl is sped up to sound decidedly less like one. The rock soul of their originals remains, but they're more fun with dancing shoes...
...running back to the same foul-mouthed failures who only text after 2 a.m. and won’t wash their bed-sheets unless we provide the Shout.Some think it’s simply danger that draws us to these duds, and others claim it’s repressed angst. I’m quite sure, however, that it’s not the hint of rebellion but the hope of rehabilitation that keeps us coming back for more. See, in truth, I don’t really want to mess around with these boys, I want to mother them...
