...actually laugh at the trailer, I just marvel at it. It makes you forget about the inevitable pain that you’ll feel when you have to sit through the build-ups to the punchlines in the interviews. Just enough to entice, not so much as to disgust. Just like the full-body Speedo that Borat wears in one shot of the trailer. Rocky Balboa CELLULOID GOLD What can I say? The theme music alone exists in a space beyond all critical judgment. It sets the plot up for you, gives you shots of Stallone in a porkpie...
Often, Williams becomes the mouthpiece for Levinson’s disgust, as in a presidential debate scene where Dobbs dispenses with the rules and rants for several minutes about how politicos never deliver substantive messages.

...child, my father called me a slut all the time. I came to believe that and went out in the world and behaved like that. When I started doing The Vagina Monologues, I realized how impossible it was for women to say the word. I would see the disgust, the shame, the embarrassment. The vagina is smack in the center of our bodies, yet it is a place that most women felt ashamed of talking about. What did that say about the center of our beings? There's something in the uttering of the word that reattaches...
