He's imploding and now we're all supposed to believe it. Except he isn't. At all.

]]> <![CDATA[How Magazine Editors Look After Their Own]]> Every time I pick Esquire up (like, at the doctor's office) I'm surprised at just how good it is, IN PARTS. There's a whole lot of crap in there, too, but it is one magazine that aspires to Smart, not Intellectual, not Snarky, not Flash. Smart. We do need more of that.

]]> <![CDATA[How Magazine Editors Look After Their Own]]> Pretty obvious Esquire isn't going to win this one. Too bad. It's a hell of a lot better magazine than some of the others nominated. Men's Health? Popular Mechanics? Gimme a break. And the New York Times Magazine? It is the single most boring and pretentious "magazine" in the solar system.

@Juancho: Yeah that was so dull. He's in a funk. Maybe he needs to go back out on the road with a shitty cover band to recover some edge.

@Go Like Hell Machine: I tend to skip the features in most issues, but the Clooney one was actually pretty good. The guy treats the interview like I would - simply discussing all the rumors surrounding him. He's got great perspective still, and a good sense of humor.

]]> <![CDATA[How Magazine Editors Look After Their Own]]> @fiveinchtaint: He's still pretty good, and they've had a couple other good articles in the last 5 or 6 issues (I'm thinking in particular of the one about To Catch A Predator). But they could use some energy.

]]> <![CDATA[How Magazine Editors Look After Their Own]]> Esquire doesn't have the same punch it had even a year ago, but for features and general reporting, they're still head and shoulders above GQ.

@BullfightsOnAcid: They're over as of this year, anyway.

@fiveinchtaint: Tell me about it, I thought April Fool's had come early with him covering The McLaughlin Report last month.

]]> <![CDATA[How Magazine Editors Look After Their Own]]> @fiveinchtaint: Don't be ashamed to say 'snark'. I feel like Gawker get's the credit for literally inventing it anyhow so why be ashamed?
As for Klosterman, I enjoyed his latest book 'IV', which basically included alot of his Esquire pieces. I think of him more as a philosopher if anything and if he's lacking in humor maybe he isn't getting laid?

]]> <![CDATA[How Magazine Editors Look After Their Own]]> I know there are a lot of folks here who are over Klosterman, but I still look forward to his pieces each month. This month's is a bit serious and doesn't have the usual sarcasm (including footnotes), which seems to be a trend - decreasing humor. Is he getting crotchety? Is he becoming the Emily Gould of Esquire? Can't stomach the (fuck I hate to say it) snark anymore?
