...Jintao: "Blame it on the Falun Gong!/ They've seen the end, and you can't hold on now!"). But they weren't as exciting as talking to Skwerl. Until our conversation, I didn't really understand how piracy worked. Unfortunately, before he could explain, I had to interrupt to get to the bottom of this "Skwerl" thing. After bottle-nursing an injured squirrel back to health in high school and taking it in as a pet, Skwerl was given some other hurt squirrels by squirrel-loving kids in Philadelphia, and then some squirrels saw his generosity, and he soon...
This became even clearer when Delta made the mistake of letting me work the p.a. system.

He has perfected the art of playing cunning villains you love to hate, like John Doe in “Se7en...
...Falewicz finally says, enunciating Gondry's message. "We can change it any way we like." In strict movie terms, that sounds like Hollywood giving itself a license to maraud its old films: to show them chopped down to fit a TV time slot and a standard TV frame; to interrupt them every few mins. with commercials; to colorize them; to issue dubious re-cuts that, say, put decades-later digital effects in Star Wars and leave fans of the originals scrounging for copies the only place they're available...
