...elicited a shift in Conner’s medium of choice. In the late-1950s, Conner moved toward filmmaking, bringing the same creative philosophy which had inspired his sculptures to film collages, assembled from varied and seemingly incongruous source materials. His 1958 debut, titled simply “A Movie??, is perhaps his most famous film. The work is a collage inter-cutting various scenes of restless, frustrated, even comically absurd mobility—men on horses, novelty bicycles, surfboards, water-skis and racecars—clips of peep-show footage, air disasters, tight-rope walkers, and myriad...
...cars was a marvel of homemade choreography and powerful sound effects. And even amid the violence and sex and nonsense, there was something strangely moving about the show’s unexplained interlude, during which musical director Connor Kizer came onstage and sang self-written lyrics to the movie??s theme song: “Jurassic Park it’s a time out of time and a place / Of awe where we all can learn / To respect the power of nature / And the lesson that we learn’s / Jurassic Park!” The lyrics...

Ronnie is also given a number of good lines—most memorably his insistence that all white people be referred...
...overall impact of “City of Ember.” Doon’s father, played by Robbins, advises him, “If you have truth, you have to pursue it.” It is this idea that is perhaps the movie??s most inspiring. To be willing to risk everything in the pursuit of truth and protection of mankind is audacious, but also noble. Lina’s big heart and Doon’s obsession with the beauty and complexity of the generator and The Builders create the perfect dynamic to unveil...
