    The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations.TXT

    The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations PREFACE Preface =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is a completely new dictionary, containing about 5,000 quotations. What is a "quotation"? It is a saying or piece of writing that strikes people as so true or memorable that they quote it (or allude to it) in speech or writing. Often they will quote it directly, introducing it with a phrase like "As ---- says" but equally often they will assume that the reader or listener already knows the quotation, and they will simply allude to it without mentioning its source (as in the headline "A ros‚ is a ros‚ is a ros‚," referring obliquely to a line by Gertrude Stein). This dictionary has been compiled from extensive evidence of the quotations that are actually used in this way. The dictionary includes the commonest quotations which were found in a collection of more than 200,000 citations assembled by combing books, magazines, and newspapers. For example, our collections contained more than thirty examples each for Edward Heath's "unacceptable face of capitalism" and Marshal McLuhan's "The medium is the message," so both these quotations had to be included. As a result, this book is not--like many quotations dictionaries--a subjective anthology of the editor's favourite quotations, but an objective selection of the quotations which are most widely known and used. Popularity and familiarity are the main criteria for inclusion, although no reader is likely to be familiar with all the quotations in this dictionary. The book can be used for reference or for browsing: to trace the source of a particular quotation or to find an appropriate saying for a special need.

    FAMILY MATINEES Saturday and Sunday Afternoons

    FAMILY MATINEES Saturday and Sunday afternoons DUCK SOUP Saturday, January 15, 2011 12:30 p.m. 1933, 68 min. 35mm print source: Universal Pictures. Directed by Leo McCarey. Screenplay and songs by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby. Produced by Herman J. Mankiewicz. Photographed by Henry Sharp. Production design by Hans Dreier and W. B. Ihnen. Edited by LeRoy Stone. Principal cast: Groucho Marx (as Rufus T. Firefly), Harpo Marx (Pinky), Chico Marx (Chicolini), Zeppo Marx (Lt. Bob Roland), Margaret Dumont (as Mrs. Gloria Teasdale), Raquel Torres (Vera Marcal), Louis Calhern (Trentino), Edmund Breese (Zander), Edgar Kennedy (street vendor). From The Marx Brothers by William Wolf, Pyramid, Satire has always been a virtually dirty word in 1975: Hollywood. Anything that smacks of intellectualism has mostly been shunned by Duck Soup , the Marx Brothers’ last film for executives who find “entertainment” a more Paramount, looms as among the most important in magical word. Therefore, one must take with a their careers. It is a pivotal picture, which reveals grain of salt the protestations that Duck Soup was the social satire of which they were capable, and meant only to be funny, and that it was merely a seeing it again raises anew the question of why this case of finding a new environment for the routines avenue of expansion was closed to them. The of the brothers, who just happened to do a comedy picture is now a special favorite of Marx that spoofs sacred cows. This is not to say that aficionados and for very good reason. It is everything film buffs now read into the film was surrealistic comedy which neatly blends barbs at planned that way.

Page 1 of 12 EXHIBITION FEATURES FILMS FROM A DIVERSITY OF GENRES ABOUT WARS THAT NEVER TOOK PLACE For Immediate Release September 2000 The Imaginary War September 14–October 15, 2000 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters 1 and 2 The Imaginary War is an international selection of films about fictional wars that served as warnings or critiques of real wars. The exhibition includes a range of films, from Aelita (1924), Yakov Protazanov’s fantasy of a proletarian uprising on Mars, and the Marx Brothers’s anti- totalitarian burlesque Duck Soup (1933), to Stanley Kubrick’s atomic satire Dr. Strangelove (1964) and Barry Levinson’s prescient Wag the Dog (1997). The Imaginary War, part of The Museum of Modern Art’s Open Ends exhibition, is on view from September 14 to October 15, 2000. The program was organized by Joshua Siegel, Assistant Curator, Department of Film and Video. The Imaginary War was inspired by a comment Jean-Luc Godard made about his 1963 film Les Carabiniers, an anti-war allegory that shatters all conventions of the genre by blending documentary actuality and fanciful invention: “In dealing with war, I followed a very simple rule. I assumed I had to explain to children not only what war is, but what all wars have been …rather as if I were illustrating the many—yet always drearily familiar—faces of war by projecting imagerie sheets through a magic lantern, in the manner of the early cameramen who used to fabricate newsreels.” The Imaginary War features a diversity of genres—science fiction and fantasy, slapstick comedy and the political thriller, pseudo-documentary and experimental and animation works.

  • Joseph Heller Michael Crichton

    Joseph Heller Michael Crichton

    From “Avid Reader,” Robert Gottlieb on working with a few of his authors. Joseph Heller On Catch 22, as on all other books we worked on together, Heller was sharp, tireless, and ruthless (with himself), whether we were dealing with a word, a sentence, a passage of dialogue, or a scene. We labored like two surgeons poised over a patient under anaesthesia. “This isn’t working here.” “What it we move it there.” “No, better to cut.” “Yes, But then we have to change this.” “Like this?” “No like that.” “Perfect!” Either of us could have been either voice in this exchange. I wasn’t experienced enough then to know how rare his total lack of defensiveness was. Joe and I worked with the same focus and compatibility on Something Happened. As we were finishing up I said to him, “One last thing. Your man’s name is Bill Slocum, but it doesn’t sound right to me. I don’t think he’s a Bill.” When Joe asked me what name would sound right, I said, “Bob. He’s a Bob.” This was one of the very few times I ever saw Joe nonplussed. “He was Bob,” he said. “I changed him to Bill because I thought you might be upset.” I told him it didn’t upset me at all. “This guy is nothing like me. We just happen to share a name.” So Bill was restored to Bob. This is the closest I’ve ever come to feeling complete identification with a writer. Michael Crichton Crichton had a keen eye, or nose, for cutting-edge areas of science that could be used as material for thrillers while cleverly popularizing the hard stuff for the general public.

    Duck Soup by William Wolf “The a List: the National Society of Film Critics’ 100 Essential Films,” 2002

    Duck Soup By William Wolf “The A List: The National Society of Film Critics’ 100 Essential Films,” 2002 Reprinted by permission of the author When Paramount released “Duck Soup” in 1933, the re- views were mixed and the film’s lack of commercial suc- cess ended the Paramount-Marx Brothers relationship. Yet appreciation for this anarchic, hilarious movie has grown through the years, and many justifiably regard “Duck Soup” as the ultimate Marx Brothers work, the film that best reveals the essence of their talent and originality. No matter how much we laugh at “A Night at the Opera” and “A Day at the Races,” or subsequent Marx Brother films, we would never see another that captures their comic style with the utter abandon and purity found in “Duck Soup.” The film represented a fork in the road in their careers, which veered into a more structured, com- mercial environment under the aegis of MGM’s “boy- wonder,” producer Irving Thalberg. He apparently be- lieved that the brothers could be packaged with broader appeal if their antics were occasionally relieved by un- Marxist musical production numbers. But did the brothers Marx really need the singing of Al- Courtesy Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Online Collection lan Jones and Kitty Carlisle? Did they need the racist dance number that intrudes upon “A Day at the Races” But some, including Allen, have rejected the idea that it and is an embarrassment when we watch it now?
