Abel Ferrara Should Have Had the Chance to Direct Jason Miller
His Favorite Pastime by George Nichols, 1914:
Gently! gently! remove Fatty's hand from your pint / One man buys another a shot and then he lamps him / Every American film made before 1918 could be titled Histoire de Scranton / Same old same old twenty minutes' a whole Poconos when you're drunk
Little Lexicon of Anglophone Cliché: A Work in Progress c. 2007
"2 or 3 things"
"A Novel"
"At once _________ and _________, ..."
"For [so-and-so, in dedication]" (exception: the Histoire(s) du cinéma, which invented the practice in cinemaville)
"I found myself unprepared for the emotional wallop"
"Love it or hate it, ... "
"Unfortunately, compared with Rohmer's earlier work, in particular the series known as 'Six Moral Tales,' The Romance of Astrea and Celadon has little to say about eros that's still relevant. It's a film so embarrassingly quaint it's crying out for a parody called Not Another Medieval Movie."
