...member sits there and they're satisfied, because they got what they paid to see. I look at myself as an audience member. I still love movies, and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else, and I want the same thrill...
...peers, the caricatures’ intended humor usually falls flat, but not always. The Republican Party aspirant Jeff Akel is a hilarious exception. Trying to spread conservative values across his high school, Akel prints posters with slogans like “If from drink you get your thrill, take precaution—write your will” and “All the dangerous drug abusers end up safe as total losers.” He advocates a three-pronged policy that includes bringing random locker searches to their upper middle class suburban high school...

Part of the thrill, she says, is that whether it was getting mold off the edge of the bath or nail polish off the sheets, they've done it with products that cost next to nothing and were likely already in the kitchen cupboards. Lush's cleaning staples are the same ones everybody's great-grandmother used: vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, methylated spirits, detergent, glycerine, milk. Shoe polish...
