...critic is equally hysterical about another large-scale plagiarism: the Divine Comedy of Hilario Lambkin Formento. This nonbook is not a brazen, word-for-word theft, Domecq insists, but rather the best piece of descriptive criticism ever penned on Dante's masterpiece, since it is an exact replica of the original...
...Anarchy. Earlier movies like The Seduction of Mimi and All Screwed Up found their way to theaters and attracted a tenacious following. It all may have to do with the brashness and ambition of Wertmuller's work, the interdependence of its energy and coarseness. Her movies stand in brazen contrast to the homogenized complacency of most Hollywood films. Seven Beauties has pulled down more than $100,000 at the New York box office in less than two weeks.

Randy Howze, who plays Old Woman Pus--the prostitute or floorwasher--handles her smutty dialogue as easily as the fat cop spews his.

"This music is forever for me," Springsteen says. "It's the stage thing, that rush moment...
...recent years dozens of bootleggers have been collecting up to $500 million annually that should have gone to major studios in legitimate film rentals. The pirates have also become increasingly brazen. While the $14 million disaster thriller Towering Inferno was still in production last year, a San Diego movie theater was showing a 90-minute pirated version put together from prints of individual scenes (the full movie takes 165 minutes to play). On a recent visit to Tel Aviv, two associates of Sam Arkoff, chairman of American International Pictures, to their amazement spotted his film, The Masque...
