...SPARTA!” I feel as though my balls have been ripped off. And I like it. Black Snake Moan Celluloid Gold This is two minutes and twenty five seconds of pure, hard-core, home-cooked, old, weird Americana. An overweight Samuel L. Jackson, a severely beaten Christina Ricci, and a looooong iron chain. There is absolutely no precedent for this trailer. It doesn’t fit any trailer paradigm you’ve ever seen. It doesn’t show any of its cards, vis a vis who’s going to be the villain...

...been living for months in a rain of stones (there was the Mercedes to think of) and in the answering adrenal bursts of the Israeli soldiers scarcely older than the stone throwers. Maybe this time the shabab would disperse before the soldiers' charge. Perhaps some would be caught and beaten, or hit by rubber bullets (rubber, that is, with a core of steel). Tear gas might be fired. Someone might get shot, and killed. Tradition draws upon tradition. The uprising in the territories, deep into its fourth month, has its violent patterns by now, action and reaction, provocation...
