...This may in part because it was Michael Cunningham, author of the book The Hours, another stupefying exercise in unspoken angst, who was hired to punch up the script Susan Minot was trying to make out of her novel. They share screenplay credit for Evening, but even in the press kit you can sense her loathing for his work. He's sort of Henry James without the cojones and definitely the most constipated sensibility the literary community has lately been in awe of. But I suspect that the director, Lajos Koltai, a Hungarian, has even more to do with...
...faculty, of administration.” Anderson believes bureaucratic concerns will end up taking precedence over student opinion, bringing to mind the snub of the 1976 student poll.A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITYIf advocacy for calendar reform is louder and more widespread than before, it might be due to a largely unspoken hope among activists. Some see the University’s administrative situation as the activists’ greatest potential boon.

...that something like 4% of all marriages are interracial, not even your grandparents will get lathered up if you marry someone of another color. But as the old prohibitions fall away, a new one is rising to take their place.

In preparation for the holy month of Ramadan, when alcohol is particularly hard to get in Iraq, the club stockpiled so many cases of beer and wine on its roof that it began to bow inward. They managed to sell it all. The club also sells merchandise such as polo...
...theme. But all expectations for a substantial movie are dashed when the screen cuts to Conway whining out a bed-top soliloquy. Here, we see the film for the Malkovich-a-thon it really is. Malkovich delivers a glib tour-de-force in which no fake accent is left unspoken, nor effeminate garment or cosmetic unworn. The radical variation in behavior is meant to highlight how little both Conway and his rubes knew of Kubrick, but it overtakes all other aspects of the film. Malkovich’s extreme performance almost redeems the film, but ultimately only convinces...
