" Strategies from the so-called Weinstein playbook are evident: Lionsgate flew Damien Chazelle, the young director of "La La Land," to Paris in December to appear alongside veterans of Jacques Demy musicals, to play up his highbrow influences, while August Wilson's widow has joined the Q. & A. circuit for "Fences.

There's a chapter for humor about anti-Semitism; one for satirical humor; one for highbrow wit and wordplay; another for theological or philosophical humor; and a vaguely defined catchall subgenus, the comedy of disguise, that somehow covers all the work of Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust, the Marx Brothers and Jerry Seinfeld.

It was salacious and highbrow, literary and lowbrow, silly, serious, a high practitioner of the parenthetical wit, bracingly and searingly dedicated to cutthroat critique, a place where nothing was sacred but the story, and to that end, a proponent of the truth, whether you liked what it had to say or not.

The food at Wayla doesn't feel quite as highbrow or precise as that of its relative neighbor Uncle Boons, in Nolita, where sweetbreads and bone marrow make regular appearances, or as austere as some of the stalwarts in Queens, where there are bones in the fish and chili heat leads the way.

This 10-part anthology series has that hazy, staged look that lets you know you're watching something British and highbrow from the 1980s — as if an old PBS tote bag sprang to life to teach you what place settings looked like in the 1930s and to encourage you to get a library card.

And lest you come away with the impression that FilmStruck's mission is strictly highbrow, this month the site hosts all six films in the spectacular "Lone Wolf and Cub" series, 1970s "chanbara" (sword-fighting) movies from Japan featuring a wandering warrior and his unlikely accomplice, his infant son in a baby cart.

That he employed a hair puller to keep the blood flowing to his signature pompadour seems not only proof of vanity but a physical manifestation of his insatiable craving for highbrow status; the same guy behind the hummable melodies of "West Side Story" also deployed Aramaic text and the 12-tone scale.

These are the kind of crime stories that "highbrow" media outlets like Vanity Fair usually cover only to point out the coverage they're getting elsewhere — mainly in "soft news" human interest outlets like People magazine and the network morning shows, such as Today or Good Morning America, whose readers and viewers are predominantly women.

As the speaker of the House, he's the most powerful elected Republican in the country; he only became speaker because of the wide respect he commanded at all levels of the party; and he commanded such respect because he fashioned himself a highbrow exponent of conservative ideas that are often promoted with boorish pandering.

Karl Lagerfeld may be best known for his work at Chanel and Fendi (he has lifelong contracts at both), but the designer somehow finds time to design under his own name for Karl Lagerfeld Paris, the U.S.-based diffusion line that delivers his highbrow aesthetic to a wider audience at a lower price point.

I was there to spend a long weekend conducting an interview with her for The Paris Review, the highbrow literary journal known for its in-depth conversations on the craft of fiction, and I'd had to lobby the editor for a month to get him to consider featuring a writer whose work was so tinged with genre.

" Gorsuch was citing what now may be Wallace's most famous work, his 2005 commencement address at Kenyon College, which has since become a kind of highbrow self-help text: There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, "Morning, boys, how's the water?

Instead, he led them to believe that he was on some highbrow round-the-world jaunt, posting photos on Facebook—selfies of well-dressed Muzammil in an airport, or a city square, or on the bank of some great body of water—that evoke a sense of adventure, an entrepreneur with an intrepid streak, ready to take on the world.

A veteran TV producer who is often confused with the highbrow filmmaker Ken Burns ("I do the ones in color," he likes to say), he was old enough to remember "Chariots of the Gods?" and to notice similarities with the 2008 movie "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," which Lucasfilm hired him to promote with a TV special.

" I know this is a tongue-in-cheek characterization meant to make fun of the snobby lit theory types who want to make Dril out to be some highbrow art project, but honestly, "'jail isnt real,' i assure myself as i close my eyes and ram the hallmark gift shop with my shitty bronco" is as good as "For sale: baby shoes, never worn.

Watching the four episodes together — and seeing Goldblum in conversation with sneaker promoters, a purveyor of highbrow ice cream, a mystical big-wave surfer or a promoter of eco-friendly technologies (and eliminator of jobs) at Levi-Strauss — you might decide that "The World According to Jeff Goldblum" is really a show about hucksters, and that the host is someone who appreciates, and knows, a good hustle.
