...Fight Club, Norton sinks his teeth into every single scene and draws blood each time. Ironically, he's the fly this time--hurling himself against walls, spattering blood in a beautiful pattern, and then prying himself off for one last burst of energy. It's an unbelievable performance and a shattering portrayal of a character fatally immersed in his own psychoanalysis. He's the reason to see the movie...
...Norton starts attending testicular cancer and TB support groups to release his anger and built-up anxiety, we laugh (albeit uncomfortably, but we laugh). When he meets Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), a fellow support group squatter, and they divide group therapy sessions between them, we laugh. But when blood starts flying, Norton starts crying, and buildings start frying, we stop laughing. (It almost reminded me of Showgirls, the way the movie just loses its sense of tone halfway through...
...researchers at New York?s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center announced that they had developed a new strain of mice, which look like your standard variety but carry an important piece of the cancer-prevention puzzle: They are genetically altered to delete the genes vital to the development of blood vessels that provide nourishment to tumors. Without the blood supply, the tumor eventually starves to death. This research comes on the heels of similar studies on rats, in which the injection of two proteins - possibly connected with the two genes - were shown to cut off a tumor?s blood supply...
...genes in question were removed from the mice while they were in the embryonic stage, after in vitro fertilization. Once the mice were born, scientists injected massive amounts of malignant cells into the rodents. In each of the genetically altered mice, little or no blood flow was available to the tumor, and the tumors did not grow at their normal, aggressive rate - or they didn?t grow at all. While the technology in this study is new, the theory behind it is not. "The idea of starving tumors of their blood supply is one of the leading areas of research...
