Okay absolutely you should hate Pauline Kael because my fave Renata Adler's take down of Pauline Kael is nastiness on par with Ayn Rand, and probably the greatest piece of criticism of all time. Some background: Adler wrote a review in the NYTRB of Kael's criticisms which had been published by TNY, FOR WHICH ADLER WAS A STAFF WRITER.

I will quote: "Over the years, that is, Ms. Kael’s quirks, mannerisms, tactics, and excesses have not only taken over her work so thoroughly that hardly anything else, nothing certainly of intelligence or sensibility, remains; they have also proved contagious, so that the content and level of critical discussion, of movies but also of other forms, have been altered astonishingly for the worse."

Refuse to give in to this new time zone; live and sleep as if you are still abroad. Eventually your body will get sick of it and readjust.

My grandfather lives in CT but always has his watch set to California time, "the only time that matters."
