Conversations on the plurality of worlds (2/14/98)
____________
The Glimmer Man. [John Gray, 1996.]
International Man of Mystery, sage versed in the wisdom of the inscrutable Orient, invincible Zen warrior, and of course writer/producer Steven Seagal strides coolly through this bloodsoaked tale of Los Angeles serial murder linked to CIA corruption and [all together now] the Russian mafia without so much as breaking a sweat while busting up several dozen wouldbe badasses and reducing the redoubtable Keenen Ivory Wayans to the role of Tonto. — And [what a surprise] he gets all the good lines too. — Why will anyone work with this guy?
In Love and War. [ Richard Attenborough, 1997.]
Sandra Bullock saves Chris O’Donnell from gangrene [and posterity from the title “A Farewell to Legs”], but just can’t seem to clean his bass. War is hell. Thank God for gin.
