Still, Yale’s gargantuan, Harold Bloom-induced edge in things like English does not change that the two schools have such similarly talented people in the sciences. Look, for instance, at the historical results of the Putnam mathematics competition. The Putnam is rare, even unique, in how directly and objectively it pits students at various colleges against each other in a subject that every college teaches. Harvard has won 23 times in the competition’s 62-year history. Yale has yet to win. Harvard also has more second-, third- and fourth-place finishes than the Elis...
...hint of wasabi. Sushi is all about the quality of the raw materials, and the toro at Fugakyu was as fresh as could be. Giant clam sushi, however, billed as the special of the day, was repellent and the one misfire of the night. It tasted like a gargantuan, fishy belly button...
...kingdom in which she is a captive. The bathhouse, which welcomes tired ghosts from the far reaches of the spirit world, is run by Yubaba, a wicked queen with a huge head; she seems inspired by Tenniel's drawings for the Alice books. Her dauphin is a gargantuan baby boy ("Play with me, or I'll break your arm!" he squalls to Chihiro); her enforcers are three severed heads that follow her like bowling balls with a grudge. But as in the best fantasies, Spirited Away creates a fully imagined world: hundreds of critters, each with a distinct personality, populate...
...Valley of the Ultravixens," his last sex comedy 20 years later, virtually every Meyer movie was a tale of two titties (or four, six, eight, as many as Russ could get his hands on) - a celebration of women who were bulbous of breast. His actresses toted breastwork so gargantuan they nearly ceased to be human; they were critters of another species, perhaps not animal but mineral, their topography of sexual interest only to size freaks. The unleashing of what Meyer would call a woman's "oh-so-mammiferous buxotic bare bongers" suggests less the Return of the Repressed than...
...this cinematic curry is to their taste, Americans should sample Sanjay Leela Bhansali's supersplendiferous Devdas, which opened last week in 33 U.S. theaters. Reportedly the priciest movie in Indian history, Devdas could be the most visually intoxicating film ever. Its pristine, gargantuan sets inebriate the eye, even as the plot--rich boy (Shahrukh Khan) loves poor girl (former Miss World Aishwarya Rai) and suffers magnificently for it--seems drunk on luscious masochism. The dialogue is ripe enough to provide song cues for nine fabulous dance numbers. But the fervid emotion and visual chic are what make the thing sing...
