...colors are splashed over a sort of kit of parts devised by Supervising Architect Jon Jerde: structural elements have been combined in various ways to mark entrances, for example, or to form information booths and food stands. Among the most striking are striped cardboard columns known as Sonotubes and normally used in making concrete forms, which give stature to rented tents, support cloth pyramids, and generally lend settings color, shape and order. Rented steel scaffolding has been bolted into lighthearted, ephemeral structures from which fabric waves. Thin, tubular balloons, some hundreds of feet long, sway in the air like giant...

Kingston Falls Bank and wins respect by standing up to the filthy-rich Mrs. Deagle (Polly Holliday). Preston Sturges, the movies' screw-bailer supreme, would have appreciated Billy's dad Rand (Hoyt Axton), an absent-minded inventor whose contraptions range from the Bathroom Buddy Shaving Kit to the Peltzer Peeler Juicer, which ingests oranges and splatters their pulp against the kitchen wall in Gremlins' first glint of far-out domestic violence...
