...Certainly the dream-boy was welcome in Slumberland, where King Morpheus and his princess daughter are most obliging, and where Nemo befriends the sassy Flip and a gibberish-speaking cannibal, the Imp. Often, though, the magic turned to menace, as when a tuba's tubing grows longer and more serpentine with every note puffed on it; or when Nemo, now in an urban setting, is pursued by apartment building on long metallic legs; or when he, Flip and Imp get lost in overgrown weeds - the eyebrow of Nemo's grandfather. In a strip that ran on New Year...
...McCay's ingenuity splashed from content to form and back again. Each huge page could be broken up into six horizontal strips or five vertical ones (showing an elephant getting bigger and scarier as it approaches). The panels might be in wavy shapes, when Nemo, Flip and Imp land in Befuddle Hall and their bodies elasticize into funhouse-mirror images. Or there'd be a large round central image, like the one for Thanksgiving 1905, in which a giant turkey - a kind of poultry Godzilla - uproots Nemo's house with its beak. Thanksgiving two years later expanded upon the dinner...
...tradition.” But Behnisch acknowledged the importance of continuity, arguing for the construction of smaller buildings with varied sizes to maintain the atmosphere of the Cambridge campus.

...independent directors are. Many of them have used digital equipment for years. Steven Soderbergh shot his indie movie Bubble with the same camera, a Sony F950, that Lucas used on Sith and Rodriguez on Sin City. And indie imp-guru Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy) notes, "There is a Panasonic camera, the 100, that gives a picture that's about as good-looking as 16-mm or 35-mm film. The kids today who are making their do-it-yourself features are doing it with high-definition video. If I was shooting Clerks today, I'd probably use that camera...
...Eighth Street regulars consider themselves the college of cardinals for this amiable sacreligion; that must make Sal Piro the pope of Greenwich Village. Piro, a tubby, T-shirted imp of 35, was just a member of the audience when Rocky mania started blooming a few blocks away at the Waverly Theater in 1976-77. But now he has seen the film 873 times and cheerleads a half-hour pre-show routine in a style that blends the early Jerry Lewis with the late Paul Lynde. Tonight Sal does a little break-dancing. He asks for a show of hands from...
