...fact that this film wasn't even shot well. Frank is known as a legendary still photographer, with such classic works as "The Americans" behind him, and his free handed, experimental film techniques have been much celebrated and imitated. In Candy Mountain, however, his camera work only manages to confirm all your worst fears about a documentary director making a feature film; i.e. what seems immediate and convincing in cinema verite appears only sloppy and amateurish when scripted. It's incredible that some of this footage got used at all: too much rapid panning, clumsy cuts, intrusively boring camera angles...
When asked about the reports, McKay said cryptically that "we have been investigating this matter for some time." But he refused to confirm whether he had the alleged memo. Nathan Lewin, an attorney representing Meese in the ongoing probe, termed the allegation "reprehensible" and "false in important respects."

And on that basis the canniest show composer of our time has long since confirmed his standing. But the sure-to-be-smash opening of Phantom will doubtless confirm something else too.

...pilot were discovered by a peasant near the village of La Angostura in the neighboring state of Michoacan late on March 5. Both were so decomposed that DEA agents who saw the bodies the next day were unable to recognize them; not until March 8 did a pathologist confirm their identities. Without benefit of forensic assistance, however, the Mexican Attorney General's office announced the discovery of the missing men's bodies, identifying them by name, early on March 6. Moreover, dirt found on the bodies did not match local soil, which suggested that they had been buried somewhere else...
...eccentricity as the prerogative, even the hallmark, of genius. And genius is its own vindication. Who cared that Glenn Gould sang along with the piano while playing Bach, so long as he played so beautifully? Even the Herculean debauches of Babe Ruth did not undermine so much as confirm his status as a legend...
