...kicking. 2. Every time someone drops the F-Bomb. Take two shots if someone drops it more than 8 times in one sentence. Go ahead, count. 3. When you hear the baptism reference while the brothers are in prison. Actually, take six shots, you dirty heathen. 4. Every time Willem Dafoe, playing a cop, reminds you of a J. Crew model that’s been run through a trash compactor. 5. Every time Dafoe mocks someone by assuming a false accent. 6. Every time Dafoe does his police work with loud, melodramatic classical music in the background. 7. Every...
...show juxtaposes famous works with obscure ones, pairs young artists with old, mixes its media and otherwise turns the Pompidou collection on its head. Take, for example, the first room, devoted to the subtheme "disillusioned body," catalog-speak for the deconstruction of the human form.

The commercial watchers' prior attitudes toward the celebrity influenced how much they liked or disliked the brand, but surprisingly, the celebrity endorsements evoked stronger feelings for the brand when viewers weren't sure to whom the familiar voice belonged...
...plies." L.A. does move, notably in a brutal, bloated car-chase sequence pilfered from Friedkin's nifty The French Connection. In his God's-eye-view shots and acrobatic love scenes, he also pays tribute to the styles of Martin Scorsese and MTV. So the villain, Counterfeiter Willem Dafoe, is no more rotten or less picturesque than the hero, William Petersen. So everybody stinks. It matters not when, like Friedkin, you have fashioned a fetid movie hybrid: Miami Vile...
