...seems, with the remnants of the Roman Empire. A head-less marble statue stands in one corner, a decorated sarcophagus in another. It's as if a piece of the eternal city had been cut out and transferred to Boston. One can only stand and admire. The eye of the visitor is soon also drawn to a long line of people apparently waiting for something very special, visible through one of the colonnades on the first floor. They wait patiently, often for more than half an hour, to enter the museum's tiny special events gallery and see the Botticelli...
...College's population? I can't count the number of times I have initiated contact with this little word and gotten no response. Even during the first months of my first year, when everyone is supposedly trying to meet people and be friendly, I was hard pressed to achieve eye contact. Now that's just...
After various gigs as a musician, including drummer in a ZZ Top-knockoff band called Tres Hombres, Thornton figured he and Epperson could strike it rich in New York City (that visit lasted all of 10 hours) and then Los Angeles. Together they wrote Thornton's eye-catching role as the white-trash murderer in One False Move. In this heralded heist film, shot in Arkansas in 1991, Thornton is never scarier than when he smiles--the picture of boll-weevil evil. He's good at that. "Billy can organize all the madmen inside himself," says John Ritter, the Three...
When "Face and Figure" artists Andy Warhol and Gilbert and George turn their attention to Ritts's favorite subject--celebrity--they do so with a far more ironic and skeptical eye. Gilbert and George are a pair of artists who have long explored the relationship between celebrity and the art object, most notably in their "Singing Sculpture," in which they painted their faces, stood on a pedestal in a gallery and sang popular British songs. In "Staring World," their contribution to "Face and Figure," the pair presents us with an enormous collage of mass market postcards. The giant rectangle...
AFTER MY INITIAL EXCITEMENT, I WATCHED THE MOVIE WITH AN ALMOST FRESH eye. I am less forgiving of low quality on the big screen than on television, where I am so used to seeing "Star Wars." In a movie theater, some glaring errors do stand out. Bad dialogue abounds, particularly from the whiny mouth of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). Also, the film grows sluggish at times; I didn't remember it taking this long for Luke, Obi-Wan, and the droids to leave Tatooine. The special effects (those from the original version) range from the sublime to the ridiculous...
