As is its wont, Slate thinks that ESPN's announcers for the World Cup aren't as bad as we think they are. And the writer, Robert Weintraub, also thinks that Univision's announcers aren't all that good either.

Though visually magnificent, the movie is otherwise off-putting to the contemporary sensibility, what with its when men were men, and women were hysterics mythos and an acting style that often appears frozen in tintype.

I don't know how that happened. The last thing John Ford would say to The Duke before the cameras rolled was "Act like its 2006!"
