...found myself still eagerly grasping for a sense of what Cruise was like as a kid. What was that guy in the Jockeys all about anyway? He had no comment about his family's view on his devilish craftiness. Instead, he cited "Legend" as one of the more profound of his early acting experiences. (No, I had never heard of that movie, either.) He especially enjoyed the element of escapism and liked the idea of being able to create a character in a fantastic situation beyond the everyday life of teenagerdom...
...still not convinced, though--Cruise spoke about each of his roles so fondly but did not articulate what was especially "personal" about the "Rainman" experience. Perhaps he found a continuation of the profound, fantastic escapism of "Legend." In any case, he clearly feels that "Rainman" greatly impacted his growth as an actor...
...Harvard Under Glass team got a bit cranky about New England weather, that off-again, on-again tease. HUG was tempted to transfer somewhere permanently warm and sunny and Spanish-speaking but was convinced not to do so by the dining hall checker. Sensing in this woman profound wisdom and deep understanding, HUG passed on the Thai dinner, pulled a chair up to the checker's desk and listened intently as this venerable oracle spilled truth after truth...

Peter's edgy, drone-oriented piano playing, his worried, half-secretive delivery of sometimes profound lyrics, dominated about half the songs; the others swooned under the heroic weight of Graeme's archer, slower (and even lower) voice, and against his haunting acoustic guitar patterns. Yet their records label, Flying Nun, pressed only 300 copies, most of which never left New Zealand; a record that could...
...five, from 1992's "letter from a lifeboat" up to the just-released "Top 40 Sculpture," on the Sugargliders' new singles compilation We're All Trying to Get There. The "Lifeboat" single was forgettable, but the entire rest of the repertoire, given undivided attention, will slowly become profound and moving. One of the reasons lies in the Sugargliders' ability--the rarest thing in the world--to integrate melodic neatness with the aforementioned back-beats. "Reinventing Penicillin," for example, could be a good slowed-down New Order song, and "Trumpet Play" nonchalantly imports a soft "jazz" trumpet and jazz-club background...
