...fabricate fake disciples,” he is constantly trying to appease and manipulate his colleagues. He often addresses Pinot Gallizio, the elderly, successful painter of the early SI as “Carissimo, Grande e Nobile,” which translates to “dearest, great and noble.” The collection also serves to show his willingness to disown the members when they prove a hindrance to the Situationist movement. Within a month of the latest flattering address to Gallizio, Debord writes to another member that the old painter’s show...
...Japanese officer steeped in samurai values, that gives the novel real soul. Alisjahbana hits a rich seam of tragedy in Okura's battle to reconcile defeat with honor. Only by rejecting the samurai tradition of seppuku, or ritual suicide, can Okura see a future in his shattered country.

...about to let you in on a secret I've not shared with anyone, not even my nearest and dearest. If I'm going to succumb to that occupational hazard of movie reviewing - the noddies - it's most likely to occur in the hottest and highest-action sequences. I know this is counterintuitive. After all, those are the parts of the movies that are the noisiest and the most visually splashy - all flash cuts and zip pans, encouraging a lot of rapid eye movement. You'd think only someone suffering an advanced case of narcolepsy would be immune to them...
