They would have built a byzanium bomb." Why then, he is asked, did he spend five years looking for the stuff? "If anyone was going to do it, I wanted it to be us," Robards said.

His special skill lies in an ability not merely to prepare for and describe violence, but to enter into it, conveying a character's awed, frozen awareness of disaster by prolonging and intensifying an action trhough slow-motion shots, slash-cutting, emphasis of details as in a dream.

Family, work, neighborhood, peace and freedom: the stuff from which good, sappy, Hollywood films are made. Reagan as president would simply have the lead role, and he would "show" the international arena a thing...
...conditioning in the world can make you anything but a stench in my nostrils, yea an abomination unto my schnozz. You with your disposable lighters, I'll dispose of you saith the Lord. I'll run you through the Handi-Slicer, then I'll stuff you down the Disposall...
