...sense of the domino effect here. You put a bullet through a man's spine, all kinds of things happen. Tomas has bowel and bladder issues. Tomas has erectile dysfunction-28 years old, in the prime of his life. What we're saying with this film is that what you see with Tomas is a drama taking place behind the closed doors of thousands of homes in this country. Thousands. We're trying to show the reality of this war, which is the most sanitized war in our lifetime...
...Gist:Barlow is not a half-assed carnivore. An expatriate Brit who relocated to the Galician town of his Spaniard wife, he launches himself on a foolhardy mission: travel around northwest Spain and eat as much pig as possible. Snout, marrow, heart, bladder, head-all of it. Along the way, he tells the tale of Galicia, a cold, rainy, and stubbornly independent piece of Spain on the Atlantic Ocean. It is "a patchwork of small, low-intensity farms...real working countryside" and home to Don Quixote's Miguel de Cervantes, longtime Spanish dictator General Francisco Franco, and the Castro family...
...Each morning this summer, I was awoken up by the sound of Billy’s tail vehemently whipping the side of his crate. Try as I might to ignore it, with my short nerves and his small bladder, I’d soon be out of bed and embracing the morning.

...also mean that "lesser" cancers don't get as much attention. M.D. Anderson has a project to map the entire bladder-cancer genome. "It's not something that NIH is interested in because it's a little less common than other cancers," says DuBois. Using other funds, researchers identified a gene defect that correlates smoking and bladder cancer. "If you have that defect and you smoke, there's a 100% chance you'll get cancer," says DuBois. But the hospital is more likely to get support for work on lung cancer, a much bigger problem. So call it research triage...
...evade it. It is quintessential Miro -- a field divided roughly in half by a rambling horizon line, the earth featureless and red, the sky equally featureless (except for the ceremonious care with which the paint has been deposited) and blue. In the sky hangs a thing like a bladder, with a thin black line dangling to Earth: the ''flower.'' The ''rabbit,'' a sort of yellow Shmoo, regards it from below. There is nothing else. It ought to be ridiculous, but it is profoundly haunting, full of an indefinable melancholy provoked by what Miro identified as the main motif...
