...HFCS the “culprit in the nation’s obesity epidemic,” but the Corn Refiners Association has been airing commercials recently to dispel this myth. (You can find them on YouTube. They’re worth watching.) Either way, switching to a more conscious consumption of sugar is unquestionably a good thing. The release of Pepsi Throwback, following in the limited-run tradition of Pepsi Raw released last year in the UK, is a sign that Pollen’s words have made it to the CEO’s ears and, probably, wallet...
...Craig Robinson’s performance as Horsedick.MPEG also ultimately succeeds, due to his typically nonchalant delivery and an awkward revelation at the movie’s end. The acting of Cregger and Moore, by contrast, is noticeably contrived. Their stilted words and staging make them appear painfully conscious that they are acting, and the plasticity of their conversations is impossible to overlook. To be sure, there is a patent attempt to flesh out the main characters’ three-dimensionality. Tucker’s secret sexual naïveté, for instance, complicates his otherwise insufferably flat character...
...self-conscious quirkiness of a career cleaning up corpses could present a trap, but Jeffs (best known for the Plath biopic Sylvia) does her best to steer around it. Rose and Norah have one nose-holding, cringing, slapstick-filled scene in a dead woman's house, but a sense of respect for the departed pervades the movie. "Do you think they loved each other?" Norah asks, surveying the bathroom where a murder-suicide took place. "Yes," Rose says with certainty. The more we learn about Rose and Norah's childhood - their mother died in what Norah dryly terms...
...recently taken up by lo-fi revivalists like No Age, Abe Vigoda and Times New Viking—the latter even features a track called “Times New Viking Vs. Yo La Tengo” on their latest album. This last point is more coincidence than self-conscious imitation, though; “Fuckbook” is the sound of a band concerned first and foremost with having fun.But as much fun as it is—plenty, to be sure—it’s difficult to decipher what about the project took three years...
...explore “interconnections” between different media as well. The same cultural forces and political events would influence the development of Western music and Western art through the ages—but they remain fundamentally distinct media. Can unconscious or background perception of one inform a conscious experience of the other? Can a lively Vivaldi duet contribute anything to French’s “Abraham Lincoln, 1916?” Were the violinists’ bows dipping into mythological hills of painted panels unwelcome intrusions or further brushstrokes? With upcoming performances...
