...confused montage which wreaks havoc on the plot. Even the masters of quick-cutting, whom Brown openly imitates, structure their films around sequential thought, building their tricks atop a plot that conveys at least a remote sense of plot or development. Tenuous visual connections alone aren't enough to grab an audience...
...their own. The result is a music of distinct generations, like later San Francisco rock. But unlike those rock bands, who finally managed to develop reasonably unique personae, Miles's offspring have retained, in varying degrees, their mentor's stamp.

Legitimate theaters and respectable restaurants have been imperiled by an invasion of porno movie houses, peep shows, sleazy eateries and a grab bag of other dubious enterprises. Understandably, this kind of low-life smorgasbord attracts some of the strangest night creatures ever to adorn a modern city. They range from nattily dressed black pimps in high heels to gaudily painted transvestites to the "Christmas-tree man," whose head, coat, shut and pants are festooned with tinsel...
