[Parallax View] “Writin it down kinda makes me feel better”: Robert Altmans ...: Its a moment of almost definitive hilarity”not gut-busting hohoho hilarity, though Wades drunken soulfulness and our awareness of the slaphappy construction work destiny has tolerated to produce this odd couple lend an unignorable comic charge to the scene; rather, the hilarity of having inhaled too much free oxygen, or in this case had so many contrary impulses feeding into us along so many unexpected vectors that something has to explode.

[RE Prindle] Clip 8 Far Gresham Vol. I: David had responded to the shock of the Nazi extermination camps by reaffirming his Jewish beliefs. This act necessarily entailed his withdrawal from the Christian community. He ceased attendance at Fortress Of God. Beverly followed him into the synagogue.

[2007 New Releases] September New Releases: For a decade his satirical and closely observed writings, most recently in The Sunday Star-Times, have driven readers to drink, God, lawyers, and sometimes to the shops to shower him with gifts. In this lascivious selection of his columns in Sunday magazine since 2005, he addresses the state of New Zealand steak, the beauty of mangroves, the lunacy of film festivals, the attractions of small towns (”There is no statistic that says a village can accommodate only one village idiot), the life and times of rest-home resident ”poor old Mr Wilson, the charms of Cambridge University, the strange habits of the English, and more”as well as his own intimate, seesawing, surprisingly vulnerable life as a writer and lovestruck father.
