...Spanish filmmaker living in France debuted his first solo feature, a dreamlike exercise in l'amour fou entitled "L'Age d'or" ("The Golden Age"). The film concludes with the introduction of a man described as "the leader and chief instigator" of a band of "fiends." As the gent steps out of his chateau, we're confronted with Jesus Christ. The bearded one then takes a young woman back into his lair, and screams are heard from behind the door. Cut to: a crucifix covered in women's scalps, THE END. Protests over this sequence, and the film in general...
...Steve Allen... Readers under 50 are drawing a blank here, unless they think of a mild-mannered gent with a muskrat toupee who was recently seen fulminating on the lack of standards in contemporary TV (We know, we know, the kids say - it's not nearly gross enough).

Just as parish and civic groups compete in the Mardi Gras parade, at Christmas they create fantastic forms--including replicas of boats and plantation homes--out of logs stuffed with dry cane.

You feel you're seeing, if not the true person, at least a less mediated version. (The charming gent on the island could be a complete jerk at home, but so could your charming dentist.) This puts these fame-game amateurs in the awkward position of having their very souls judged in public. "People stop me in the street and say, 'I really related to your character,'" says Real World vet Kevin Powell, 33. "I wasn...
...team of 25 animators toiled to achieve two or three seconds of footage a day, as Lord and Park patrolled the tiny sets like the barons of Brobdingnag. The Aardman shop buzzed with the work of painters, press molders and a gent known as the mouth-and-beak-replacement coordinator...
