...open field, aiming death at their enemies. Almost all the set pieces are conversations, or interrogations, usually involving Landa: with the French farmer (Denis Menochet), Shoshanna, Von Hammersmark and Raine. Some of these chats could use either punching up or scrupulous editing. In fact, on the basis of sheer entertainment value, this movie can't match the two hours Tarantino spent onstage in Cannes last year talking movies with French critic Michel Ciment...
Brute Force Works Modern military wisdom says sheer force doesn't quell insurgencies, and that in the long run political and economic power-sharing along with social reconciliation are the only ways to end the fighting. But the Sri Lankan army eventually broke down the Tigers in an unrelenting military campaign, the final phase of which lasted more than two years. That sort of sustained offensive hasn't been tried anywhere, in decades...
...That's the passion hockey inspires. I haven't net-minded in 15 years, and lemme tell ya, I wasn't good then.

Even the VIP lounge was open, where FlyBy went to rest our feet from all the dancing...
Even in the academic community, where copy-conservative litigators seem convinced he belongs, Nesson’s image doesn’t stand still. It is, rather, a continuous tug-of-war between sheer brilliance and a series of lesser qualities—childish compulsion, utter laxity, idealistic extremism—that shimmer on and off, sometimes apparently part and parcel with the brilliance, sometimes apparently harmful to it. Nesson is either the most intelligent man in the room, or he is the most insane, it often seems. Sometimes he is probably both...
