...wound up on the cutting room floor. It was a scene I couldn't fit in no matter what I did. There was a scene in which they whole family's together and they're eating Chinese food and Charlize, I remember, was eating an egg roll. And the way she was eating that egg roll and watching James Caan during that moment. And then she took a soy sauce packet and opened it up with her teeth. It was incredible footage.

In "Nesting I" (2000), four large-format Polaroids set side by side, the two photographs in the middle show the artist with her eyes calmly shut, her face decorated with yellow and green paint, her shoulders and neck with cruel scratches. The wooden bird perched...
...reconstructive shoulder surgery at the end of last year which is now allowing him to play healthy," Mazzoleni said. "For the first half of last year when he played very well, his shoulder was fine and then he hurt it and it really inhibited him the rest of the way. Know he's got a healthy wing again and he's been very impressive...
