I'm very confused, since the lyrics are definitely as follows: I'm a bear called Jeremy I can do most anything I can play and I can sing Little tunes like do re mi
Reportedly Orson Welles's favourite book. He adapted it for radio, never film, though you can see the influence on MR. ARKADIN. There was a Hungarian movie ten years ago that took the title and not much else, but the book deserves better than that.
It's not apparent in the excerpt I posted, but part of Adair's case against TRIUMPH is that it's not populist or grandiose *enough*. He compares her unfavourably to Busby Berkeley, which leads to this great footnote:
I often think about Gilbert Adair's remark that Riefenstahl's kitsch would be recognised more readily if she'd put it on canvas instead of film.
Do I need to break out the Russell Lynes charts? "Middlebrow" is a moving target that depends on the cultural environment as much as the work itself.
Richard Lessor was using it in 1971 in the context of families that don't acknowledge drug addiction.
The image, oddly, seems specifically edited to include that strange horned figure in the clouds. Here's a presumably earlier version from February.
Mark Wirtz is great! But there's a rock opera (with a plot line throughout the album) from March 1966, predating Tommy, S.F. Sorrow, The Story of Simon Simopath, "Grocer Jack," and even "A Quick One While He's Away."
But if you're curious about the snake lemma, Jill Clayburgh proves it in the opening scene of IT'S MY TURN, much to the disgust of Daniel Stern.
I don't think the snake lemma itself turns up in SERPENT'S PATH, but it isn't necessarily easy to tell.
The original version of Kurosawa Kiyoshi's SERPENT'S PATH is playing in North America now, so here's a bit of useless trivia: The math you see throughout the film is homological algebra. I'd bet it was chosen because one of the fundamental results in that area is called the snake lemma.
There are boarding schools in Canada too, which have also inspired children's novels and TV series, so I have no idea what she's talking about.
That "interview" sure is something. Non-parenthetical m-dash and "it's not A, it's B" in a single sentence.
I mean I can pull quotations all day, as could you if you wanted to, and it's typically innocuous stuff like this. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...
