...adult dramas of manners like The Wedding Banquet and Sense and Sensibility, had a child inside screaming to get out. He wanted to pay homage to his lifelong ardor for martial-arts novels and pictures. He had made beautiful films; now he would bend his considerable artistry to make, dammit, a movie. The sad story has a happy ending. All that agony has produced exactly what Lee hoped to create--a blending of Eastern physical dexterity and Western intensity of performance. High art meets high spirits on the trampoline of an elaborate plot. Crouching Tiger is contemplative, and it kicks...
...Fortunately, "Rare Masters 2" was not the only obsession. Others crowded for attention: the bootleg "Marnie" soundtrack, the English-language version of "Spirits of the Dead" (particularly "Toby Dammit," the Fellini episode), and finally, the most consuming obsession of them all - the 4-CD box set, "The Legend of Dusty Springfield." Limited release, U.K. only, 2,000 copies pressed, withdrawn almost immediately after circulation. And I held it in my hands once at the HMV on 86th St. and Lexington...

But it's not a book, dammit, that perfect object that speaks without speaking, needs no batteries and never crashes unless you throw it in the corner. So, yes, there'll be books. Speaking personally, you can have my gun, but you'll take my book when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the binding...
...American Association of Retired Persons: "What's going on over there at CBS amounts to nothing more than a vendetta against people in their golden years. Did anyone happen to notice that two of the first three suckers kicked off the island were older than Moses? Dammit, CBS, we're old and cranky enough. Don't you know any better than to tick us off? We've got more money floating around in Washington on any given day than you guys make in 20 sweep weeks. So straighten up and fly right or, dammit, we'll have our buddies over...
