...naturopath Jeans. Stern stuff, yet my fellow captives gaze cow-eyed at the honey-haired Jeans as she maps out the program for the week: yoga at 7 a.m.; a minuscule protein shake at 8:15 along with a vat of celery and cucumber juice that morphs from bland to blah with each mouthful; an 8:30 hike involving prolonged uphill slogs; at 11:15 more juice and a wheatgrass chaser (imagine a concentrate of freshly cut weeds mixed with nail-polish remover). Then there's more yoga, lunch and time for a treatment, perhaps from Antonin Zemlicka, a Czech...
...likes of “When You Wasn’t Famous,” which rolls cleverly over a well-executed, lively marching beat. Mixed in with the voice-over jokes and mysterious, yet certainly lewd, British slang, the slower, sometimes sappy songs are at once a bit bland and a welcome respite. Representing Skinner at his most accessible, songs like “All Goes Out the Window” and “Never Went to Church” are either offerings to the less adventurous of his listeners, or minor failures. Ever an intriguing combination...
While the screenplay is relatively bland and predictably feel-good, it does have a few highlights. After Price makes the aforementioned boots, Lola replies, “Please, God, tell me I have not inspired something burgundy.” And the cutest moment, already spoiled in the trailer, is when the old woman renting a room to Lola asks him if he is a man.

Nor, as Allen shows in his book, will Opus formally own up to many of its institutions. Its U.S. schools tend to go by bland names like the Heights or Northridge Prep. For years, he reports, the 17-story U.S. headquarters in New York, finished in 2001, lacked an identifying street-level sign. Allen counts 15 universities, seven hospitals, 11 business schools and 36 primary and secondary schools around the world as what Opus calls "corporate works...
...evidence that Marley that lacked freedom and not talent, look no further than the two versions of “Wages of Love.” On the acoustic rehearsal track, he offers an expressive, almost tearful dirge for lost love; on the commercial release, however, bland instrumentation and uninspired vocals turn the song into middle-of-the-road pop. Side-by-side, the recordings are almost an apology for such a bland sound. The compilation’s charm—and it does have charm—comes not from its aesthetic, but from its history...
