...influence on Beck, Blur, Radiohead and countless other musicians of the '90s is incalculable. Lead singer and former Whitney Museum of Art security guard Stephen Malkmus expressed alienation with the same lo-fi guitar grit of Kurt Cobain, but his lyrics and vocals were models of cryptic passion. Somehow his word salads communicated both the ennui of a suburban smart-ass and an awareness that ennui isn't tragic...
...Almodóvar sounds--as he admits he does--"feelthy" when he discusses Cruz's physicality, "those eyes, her beautiful teets," she doesn't mind, since he has given the slender actress the weightiest role of her career (and also maybe because somehow it doesn't seem as feelthy coming from a gay guy). The Oscar-winning writer-director of Talk to Her and All About My Mother cast Cruz as the embodiment of motherhood in a movie about three generations of women surviving the wild winds of his home turf, La Mancha, Spain--winds that blow in fires, death...
...Blade directing effort, a 2000 adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses, and Cameron Crowe's 2001 Vanilla Sky, a remake of a Spanish film Cruz had starred in.

...ttingen, Kit will be dazzled by Yashmeen Halfcourt, a beautiful mathematician with mystical leanings. Yashmeen, meanwhile, is caught up in the theoretical wars between vector analysts and the champions of Quaternions, each with their visions of which was more real--time or space. This last controversy is somehow central to Pynchon's preoccupations with time travel, alternate realities and a whole spectrum of options for escaping a world headed into the calamities of World War I and beyond. Lacking a degree in advanced math, I'm still hard pressed to say just...
...saint. Later the negative was destroyed in a fire. Dreyer constructed a new version using the negatives of alternate takes from his original filming. That too was lost in a fire. But 25 years ago, in a closet at a Norwegian mental institution, a complete print of the original somehow turned up - a mess, but the real thing. This impeccably cleaned-up transfer, a miracle of restoration as well as rediscovery, allows the film to be seen as it has not been since its premiere. The disc also provides a history of the film's various versions, and an optional...
