...action, the settings--bedrooms, forests, deserts, in short anyplace a secluded camera can be set up--all lead to the inevitable loveless consummation. The camera is incessantly at low-angles to catch the flash of panties or the roundness of a buttock. One soon learns to expect gratuitous shower scenes and absurd double-entendre conversations. The best films are usually unpredictable, but when all roads lead to the bedroom one need not be oracular to foresee what's just beyond the next hump...
...went ahead, 3-0, on a RBI single by Stoeckel in the first and a two-run triple by Ric LaCivita in the third. Columbia tied it in the fourth with a two-run single by Jackson and a wild pitch that sent starter Sandy Weissant to an early shower in favor of reliever Norm Walsh...
...spilling over into public, with murderous consequences (Vertigo). There are innocent bystanders drawn dangerously into a closely woven criminal web (The Man Who Knew Too Much). Even the murder that is the film's central incident-a perhaps too ghastly knifing-reminds us of the famous shower-bath murder in Psycho, as does a splendid, spooky score by that film's masterful composer, Bernard Herrmann. More important than these specific references to glories past, however, is the Hitchcockian discipline De Palma brings to his storytelling, the delicate balance between humor and horror with which he permits...
...largest, most complex spacecraft ever built. Stretching 118 ft. from end to end, it weighs 100 tons, and has the interior space and most of the comforts of a three-bedroom house: private sleeping compartments for its three passengers, a dining table, a shower, a lavatory larger than any commercial airliner's and an 18-in. porthole to provide a view of the earth. To sustain its crews, it carries 720 gal. of drinking water, more than 2,000 Ibs. of food and enough scientific and medical gear for months of experimentation. Both inside and out, it would make...
...transistors and miniaturized electronics, antibiotics and organ transplants, high-speed computers and jet travel. But progress came at a price. It was the genius of science that also made possible such horrors as the exploding mushroom cloud over Hiroshima, the chemically ruined forests of Indochina, the threat of a shower of ICBMs, a plant increasingly littered with technology's fallout. It is this Faustian side of science, with its insatiable drive to conquer new fields, explore new territory and build bigger machines, regardless of costs or consequences that worries so many critics...
