...enough to prove himself, Tong seemed to fade off towards the end of the set. The crowd didn't seem to notice and fell back on its usual inane activity of fiddling with glowsticks and posing with absurd dance moves. Despite its initial brilliance, the night trailed off into aimless idling on the part of both Tong and his audience...
...meaningless world? Most people would probably be better off reading the Bhagavad Gita than crooning "Bette Davis Eyes" in front of a bar full of strangers. Bruce Paltrow's direction (in the past, he served as executive producer and director of NBC's "St. Elsewhere") is as aimless as his characters' lives, and we never get caught up in the story. Maybe Paltrow & Paltrow did this movie because they wanted to work together, but in the end, "Duets" is like karaoke itself: It may be a blast to participate in, but listening and watching it can be a bore...
...sunny day last week, aides to Bill Bradley could still persuade themselves that their man had a good chance to win the nomination from Al Gore. After a lousy start--aimless events in New Hampshire, a botched debate in Iowa, sliding poll numbers just about everywhere--Bradley enjoyed an epiphany of sorts on Wednesday, and some of his advisers thought it might be the turning point he needed. It happened in New Hampshire, when a working mother with no health insurance described how her son had come down with strep throat and then apologized to her as she wrote...
...prepared to admit his guilt in abusing his position of authority by coercing the young student into a sexual relationship with him, that is as far as he will go. He refuses to make the hollow gesture of publishing an apology to maintain his position at the university. Aimless after his resignation, he decides to visit his daughter Lucy. She lives by herself on an isolated smallholding in the Eastern Cape that she shares with a black farmer, Petrus, in a farmhouse that previously housed a hippie commune to which she belonged. David and Lucys relationship is cordial but distant...
...sharply lit, sanitary office. The dialogue is reminiscent of a machine, and the office becomes a highly functional organism. The Filing Clerk (Randy Gomes '02) and the Adding Clerk (Eddie Montoya '02) do a fabulous job of doubling dialogue and repeating each other with static variations. Coupled with the aimless chatter of the Stenographer (Kate Agresta '02) and the Telephone Girl (Thandi Parris '01), an environment of alienation is complete. Everything about this world is artificial, including the commotion when Helen (Erica Rabbit '00) enters the room. The boss has a strange affinity for her and her hands, despite...
