Bigness was, of course, an attraction of the actual ship. In the film, the ship company's boss says, "I wanted to convey sheer size." Cameron could be his spiritual heir. The man who made The Terminator for $6 million has become the high priest of Hollywood bloat. He is also the movies' mad toymaster: he keeps falling in love with an imposing machine (a cyborg, an alien, a submarine, a Harrier jet, an ocean liner) that he then spends great amounts of time and energy destroying...
...arrangements, in combination with the lyrics, also convey a greater artistic maturity: any pop fluff that sweetened the band's previous releases has been replaced with a pastoral gentleness and "a bittersweet taste of a time and another place before." "Leave This City," the song that concretely conveys this disillusionment, is a depiction of an urban neighborhood as an Audrey Hepburn character would see it. One can picture Holly Golightly's jaded visage at the "boarded-up...cinema" lamenting the "strawberry dreams & the dust-filled beams/shut down in a modern town."

The allure of the fresh, well-made bagel, alas, defies verbal explanation. And yet despite this handicap, in recent years the bagel has been popularized across the nation, a development which culminated...
...well; in the first act, they are distinctly eccentric. Medbh's sweater and jeans and socks visibly dirty on the bottom form a convincing ensemble, but the black jacket, cherry skirt and purple print blouse that Catherine sports when walking in the door from New York decidedly fail to convey a sense of a city sophisticate. The overall effect is as if the actors had raided their closets for unworn apparel. (The actors' brogues are similarly patched together; although vaguely European, most of these accents are not from the Emerald Isle...
