...ineptitude. There is nothing more boring than movies that spend a lot of time focusing on a computer screen as characters exchange typed-out sexual innuendoes. There is also nothing more offensive than the motivation du jour of partially repressed horrific memories - especially in pictures that glow with glamour-trash aspirations. For that aspect of the story, Rowena gets a job in Hill's agency, which permits her to wear swell clothes, go to fancy parties and engage in flirtatious dialogue about "Hemingway Daiquiris" with Hill, who, his priapic ways aside, seems to be a nice enough...
...broadcaster Gwen Ifill. When the New York Times assigned Ifill to cover the Clinton presidency, Imus remarked, "Isn't the Times wonderful? It lets the cleaning lady cover the White House." As far as Imus is concerned, a black woman like Ifill should be emptying the President's trash cans, not interviewing him.

(The QT version of that poem might end: "The road is kewl for this white trash / But I've a Challenger to smash /And miles to go before I crash...") But there's not much poetry, I mean of the pulp variety, in Death Proof. It doesn't show me much innovation, or much fidelity to the old grindhouse tropes. For example, in the seminal road movies...
...separate from being married to him,” she quips.TALKING SMACKOn set, with both her husband and comedy greats like Will Farrell present, the competitive nature of the actors really came out, says Poehler. A lot of trash talking ensued.“A lot of times we would all be out on the ice rehearsing. And Will Farrell is a mountain of a man, but with skates on, I think he’s officially 10 feet tall, so there was fierce trash talking on the ice about taking each other out and ending each other?...
