...cigar. Jesse Lee, 13, who was holding it, got a ticket. His companion, also 13, responded by mumbling obscenities at the cops. "I could see if we robbed somebody or stole a car and killed somebody," he said. "This don't make no sense." To the antitobacco crusaders, however, neither does smoking...
Older story: Wordsworth goes to visit Coleridge at his cottage, walks in, sits down and does not utter a word for three hours. Neither does Coleridge. Wordsworth then rises and, as he leaves, thanks his friend for a perfect evening...

To the end of his long life--he died in 1989, six months short of his 89th birthday--Steve Bechtel enjoyed prowling around job sites, but he neither looked nor sounded like a construction boss.

But the spectacular visuals simply accentuate the problems in Meet Joe Black; instead of fleshed-out characters, instead of a compelling narrative, instead of subtlety, it offers us lush backgrounds and swelling music. Knowing full well that the movie can't elicit audience response on its own, Brest tries to shove romance...
