...third heaven," he is bound to secrecy and offers no travelogue. The first detailed Christian heaven explodes to life in the book of Revelation. Its author, John, is as extravagant as Jesus and Paul are reserved. Here, the One and the Lamb of God occupy a double throne of jasper, fronted by a sea of crystal and framed by a rainbow, attended by 24 elders dressed in white and praised eternally by four winged beasts, who "rest not day and night, saying Holy, holy, holy, Lord Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come." In attendance are angels...
...relics. So are his "readymades"--a snow shovel or a ceramic urinal designated as works of art, sardonic jokes that have been done seven-eighths to death by decades of critical interpretation, but that nonetheless are the ancestors of every piece of "appropriation" art done by Americans from early Jasper Johns down to the present...
...never used it as an excuse," says his friend and schoolmate Clarence Anthony Jasper II.

Screenwriter John Hughes can't resist turning the film into a hybrid of one of his "Home Alone" movies, featuring a drawn-out sequence of physical comedy. De Vil's henchmen Horace and Jasper play the Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci roles, as they are flung through windows and into frozen ponds. Cruella ends up the victim of much of this comic buffoonery, as she is kicked by a horse, squashed by an overweight hog, and immersed in a vat of molasses. This sequence...
