Tone is all in a social fable, and first-time writer-director Derrick Borte shows an impressive command of mood and pace. He doesn't push your face into the message of conspicuous consumerism; he lets the characters and actors breathe, allows viewers to detect the toxic undertaste in their own good time. In its amiable, ambling way, The Joneses is a zeitgeist film: it says as much as a Michael Moore screed about the American way of debt. It's also a feature-long joke about Hollywood's mania for product placement...
...such microbe called Mycobacterium avium is similar to the bug that causes tuberculosis (TB) and causes lung infection. It is also found commonly in showers in New York and Colorado, according to a new study led by University of Colorado microbiologist Norman Pace, who studies bacteria found in homes, schools, public buildings and other human environments. (See the top 10 scientific discoveries...
...this latest study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Pace dispersed a team of undergraduate students into 45 bathrooms mostly in New York City and Denver to swab and test the inside of showerheads; bacteria tend to accumulate in dense communities there, forming thin, gooey "biofilms." When you run the shower, germs are ejected out of the showerhead in the spray. Inhale the fine water droplets and M. avium gets a direct passage to your lungs where it proceeds to wreak havoc if your immune system isn't strong enough...
...wrong—the second season is probably the show’s best, and by the time the finale, “Casino Night,” aired, no one was complaining that we’d seen too many episodes that year. But by keeping this pace, they’ve racked up one hundred to date. American sitcoms are on growth hormones, and the results aren’t always pretty. In particular, the ticking time bomb strapped to “The Office” has always been the development of Jim and Pam?...
...disjointed. But after a second go, the song’s centerpiece emerges as inherently listenable, in the fashion of “Red and Purple,” off “Visiter.” “This Is A Business” eschews the snail-pace that many of the other songs fall into. Also to its credit, its arc is the most emergent of the set. But its experimental tuning and discordant guitar work nearly negates a brief, but shining, moment of Beatlesque pop. Unfortunately the middle of the song goes off into a slow...
