...neighboring state of Tamil Nadu. The border bisects the village. I never got a chance to find out at which point, though, because as well as being greeted by the views I was met by a horde of local men. As the only foreign tourist and woman in sight, I myself became, by neat irony, the photo opportunity. Dodging the inevitable "Coming from where?" and other, less-delicate conversational gambits, I beat a diplomatic retreat...
...payoff as fast as possible, and that payoff is bloodier than a hematology convention. Hyperviolence is not new to the Zatoichi oeuvre, but Kitano does Katsu one, two or 11 better.

...York City's mayor Rudy Giuliani when it turned up in "Sensation." But the place that put Adjaye on the map was the so-called Elektra house, built for a pair of conceptual artists in the Whitechapel neighborhood that Jack the Ripper once prowled. It's plain at first sight that this is no cozy cottage. It's more like an urban battlement, a place that turns its face from what is mostly an unsightly street. It has no windows on the street side, where it presents instead a solid wall of resin-treated wood that has weathered over time...
