...second objection would be to the film's pace. There were long stretches when stuff just didn't happen. Antonioni had an answer for that too: "In certain moments, life has different rhythms. At times it's dynamic, at other times static. So why should we avoid the static moments to concern ourselves only with the dynamic ones? If a film is to take account of reality... it must also consider the rhythm of this reality." In other words, he was just being a realist. Or a neo-neo-realist...
...like the persistence-of-vision trompe l'oeil that makes the consecutive images clicking through a movie projector at 24 frames per second seem like one continuous moving image. Antonioni, true to his creed, won't say - unless we are to take Blowup's last shot as the answer to this larger question. Thomas is seen from a distance alone on a green field.

The success of Wikipedia should give us pause before dismissing latest challenge to seemingly unbeatable Google...
...grown the editorial manpower of Wikipedia, perhaps a feasible search index is within grasp. Indexing the Internet, however, is the least of Jimbo's problems. Search engines rely on their algorithms, or complex formulas, to determine what listings to return for a searcher's query. Wales' answer to a better search experience is to combine a computer algorithm with editors who monitor what results should be returned for any given search.

He told the committee even less than Taylor, who as a former employee of the White House had an iota of more freedom to answer frankly. (Taylor went so far as to confirm she did not discuss the firings with Bush and to state she believed he had no direct involvement in them - questions Jennings refused to answer...
