“I've seen people who stink, but the film editor shows them just where they didn't stink. But if you're empty and manipulative on stage, it's clear.” PeopleIfsShowsFilmClearStageEmptyEditorsStinkManipulative Author:D. B. Sweeney
“I've always longed for the theatre and acting to be popular. No actor wants to play to an empty house. We only do it for an audience. The more the merrier. I don't make any distinction between a popular TV series or blockbuster film and doing Shakespeare. They're different, but as long as the material is good and the intention is honourable, it's all the same to me.” WantLongDifferentPlayFilmActorsHouseActingAudienceMaterialsTvsEmptySeriesIntentionTheatreDistinctionTv SeriesBlockbusterEmpty HousesMore The Merrier Author:Ian Mckellen
“One answer to why public interest in men's tennis has been on the wane in recent years is an essential and unpretty thugishness about the power-baseline style that's become dominant on the tour. Watch Agassi closely sometime...he's amazingly absent of finesse, with movements that look more like a heavy-metal musician's than an athlete's...what a top PBer really resembles is film of the old Soviet Union putting down a rebellion. It's awesome, but brutally so, with a grinding, faceless quality about its power that renders that power curiously dull and empty.” MenYearsLooksHas BeensFilmSportsInterestAnswersQualityWatchesStyleMovementEssentialsMusicianEmptyUnionsAthleteHeavyTennisDullRebellionSovietMetalsDominantSoviet UnionAbsentPublic InterestHeavy MetalFacelessFinesse Author:David Foster Wallace
“The zombie threat is made worse by the fact that their victims then turn into the creature that attacked them. This too is similar to other monsters (werewolves and vampires) and also similar to the sub-genre of infection/plague films. In the case of zombies, however, this may carry a greater sense of dread and revulsion: vampires and werewolves can be seen as desirable, potent, intelligent, virile creatures whom one might like -- in some way at least -- to become; a mindless ghoul condemned to wander aimlessly across an empty, ruined earth seems much less attractive.” WayMayMadeFactsSeemsMightEarthFilmTurnsCasesGreaterCreaturesEmptyIntelligentVictimThreatMonstersWanderVampireGenreAttractiveDreadRuinedDesirableZombiePlagueWerewolfInfectionMindlessGhoulsRevulsion Author:Kim Paffenroth
