...disregard for human dignity? Even if you accept the notion that it was an isolated incidentthe work of the so-called nine bad apples on the Abu Ghraib night shifthow was the situation able to remain unchecked for so long I do think there was a certain level of sadism on the night shift, says Kennedy over the phone from her home in New York...

Movie Review - Sivaji

2007-07-03 15:08:00 by Escape.... Great Escape in My Review Blog
...disregard the lack of originality in Shankar's direction, ignore the pointless and half assed action sequences, and turn a blind eye to the blatant disregard to anything remotely resembling logic. The movie looks like as if someone had used flash movie maker to make the resume of a kindergarten student. And yet as a HR person, you are forced...

...disregard and antipathy while their private, often innermost thoughts and feelings build a deep bond of affection and trust. This is love in a nutshell, right? No one is the same behind the closed doors of their mind as they are in the more vulnerable arena of the daily outside world. When we meet someone and develop a lasting love, isnt it...

...disregard them. I mean, how exactly does "Dorothy Michaels" (Hoffman's drag alter ego) get paid when she doesn't exist and wouldn't have a Social Security number? Of course, the finale, involving some accident that caused a soap to redo a scene live at the last minute seemed ridiculous to me even upon first viewing, but the scene is so...

2007-11-14 23:05:00 by C. Jerry Kutner in Bright Lights After Dark
...disregard of narrative logic the films ending makes no sense. Ill concede that any one of these things sadism, political pretension, or an absence of narrative logic might be acceptable to me in a different aesthetic context, but in Hanekes hands, combined with his general lack of affect, the result repels me If there is a single theme that...

2007-01-16 08:22:00 by adrian chan in Reviews and analysis of significant films and movies, on dvd and in theaters
...disregard for montage however is the result of his vision of time. Or better, proximity Proximity is a relation of time as well as space, involving a relation of near/far in both dimensions. (It is a psychological relation too, but less so in Tarr's work). We tend to think of close ups as putting us in close proximity, but in fact a close up...

...disregard for hermetic cultural propriety Although MANJI is not an explicit movie by any means, you won't find a more incendiary depiction of the madness of love. Characters either threaten to kill one another or beg to be killed and their words scar the air they breathe. One the one hand, it's pure bedroom farce straight out of Feydeau ,...

...disregard any artificial line that exists between them. The best stories, it seems to me, are fantasies, whether they be based on solid scientific extrapolation, or on engineering concepts carried to an ultimate point, or on something else

The Future of Science Fiction TV is NOT the Sci Fi Channel

...disregard Trek because it's the exception that proves the rule and I chose broadcast networks because they reach the vast majority of television viewers and if there was a succsessful SF formula, they would have found it. They haven't. Instead we get 'soft' SF, like Heroes and LOST . For purposes of our discussion, I am going to assume 'hard'...
