“There’s a great scene in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre [1974] that I’m obsessed with: Sally is being chased by Leatherface with a chainsaw... And she runs into thorn bushes. And she’s getting tangled up in it because she’s running fast... But Sally needs to move slowly in order to get through the bushes - she will get farther faster by going slowly because her hair and clothes won’t get tangled and caught. There’s something really beautiful about understanding that, while someone’s chasing you with a chainsaw, you have to move more slowly in order to get away.” NeedsRunningBeautifulMovingOrderUnderstandingSawsHairSceneClothesCaughtChainsFasterObsessedGet AwayTexasChasingTangledMassacresReally BeautifulChainsawRunning Fast Author:Christopher Bollen

“Exceptions to the traditions of dumpy dignity and fake learnedness in law review writing are as rare as they are beautiful. Once in a while a Thomas Reed Powell gets away with an imaginary judicial opinion that gives a real twist to the lion's tail. Once in a while a Thurman Arnold forgets his footnotes as though to say that if people do not believe or understand him that is their worry and not his. But even such mild breaches of etiquette as these are tolerated gingerly and seldom, and are likely to be looked at a little askance by the writers' more pious brethren.” PeopleIfsGivingWritingBelieveLittlesRealBeautifulLawForgetOpinionWorryTraditionDignityFakeExceptionGet AwayReviewsLionsImaginaryTailsTwistsEtiquetteIn-lawsJudicialPiousBrethrenReedsBreachFootnotes Author:Fred Rodell
