...richer than the remake. Both have an attitude; the first one has a vision. George Miller testified that the Bartel film inspired his Mad Max movies: the post-apocalyptic landscape, the valuing of speed over life, the fender-level shots of cars careering toward Armageddon. It also spawned a rip-off video game, called Death Race, supposedly the first of its kind to be banned. Death Race 2000 didn,t slam into any legal walls, but it has a lunatic daring that was a hallmark of 70s movies, and that is all but absent from the films...
...strengths of the Obama candidacy has been the sense that this is a guy whose blood doesn't boil, who carefully considers the options before he reacts-and that his reaction is always measured and rational. But that's also a weakness: sometimes the most rational response is to rip your opponent's lungs out.

Soccer is hard precisely because you can't use your hands; it's difficult to control a ball with your feet. Here, just grip it and rip it. Basketball is tricky because the hoop is 10 ft. off the ground and relatively tiny. Here, throw it high, throw it low, you will score...
...musicians borrow from the rough edges of rock's history. Out of the 1960s comes the spirit of social protest and artistic freedom. From the late 1970s come the primitive, do-it-yourself sensibility of punk and the slam-dancing and stage-diving mayhem that went with it. "We rip off everyone equally," says Shannon Hoon, lead singer of Blind Melon, which has sold more than 1 million copies of its first album this year. The trick is to sample riffs from somebody who's so long gone that the modern repetition of it sounds fresh and new. Even...
