...what is it, exactly? A table in the form of an equilateral triangle. Along each of its sides are 13 place settings--think Christ and his 12 disciples--each assigned to a significant woman from legend or history, from "the primordial goddess" to Sojourner Truth and Georgia O'Keeffe. The table rests on a triangular white ceramic-tile floor that bears the names of another 999 women painted in gold. And on the plates? Most of them carry more or less vaginal images, some merely painted on the plates, some rising in high relief. In a world that has seen...
...Would you call this movie an allegory? Allegory sounds too much like message film. To paraphrase [Hollywood legend] Samuel Goldwyn: "If you want to send a message, use Western Union." It's a fantasy. But I've included some ideas that are worth considering.

"The expectations are far higher [in the subcontinent]," Chappell told an Indian reporter this week after hearing the news of Woolmer's death. "But in the light of this tragic event, I think we need to take pause and make sure that we don't get too stressed about what is, after all, only...
...right. Money doesn't seem to be a problem either; Romney raised $6.5 million on a single National Call Day in early January. The campaign is flush enough to be on the air at this early date with ads to introduce Romney to voters as a "business legend" who "rescued the Olympics" and "turned around a Democratic state." The Mormon in the race also points out - jokingly, but with an edge - that he is the only leading contender who is still with his first wife...
