LATE KUBRICK FOOLS US ALL WITH HIS `EYES WIDE SHUT' : TALK RADIO'S DR. TONI GRANT CONVEYS REFRESHING HONESTY.Can't understand what all the raves are regarding ``Eyes Wide Shut.'' It just reminded me of the old stag films that the college fraternities used to sneak into their dorms after ``lights out.' The only difference was they were black and white and they had no dissonant dis·so·nant adj. 1. Harsh and inharmonious in sound; discordant. 2. Being at variance; disagreeing. 3. Music Constituting or producing a dissonance. music to distract the watchers. Also, the dialogue from the college boys was much more intelligent and funnier. Earl Horwitz North Hills It's time It's Time was a successful political campaign run by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) under Gough Whitlam at the 1972 election in Australia. Campaigning on the perceived need for change after 23 years of conservative (Liberal Party of Australia) government, Labor put forward a to say what we all think: The emperor (Stanley Kubrick Noun 1. Stanley Kubrick - United States filmmaker (born in 1928) Kubrick ) had no clothes. ``Eyes Wide Shut,'' possibly the most disappointing film experience ever, reveals it. And let's face it: ``2001: A Space Odyssey'' was digestible digestible having the quality of being able to be digested. digestible energy the proportion of the potential energy in a feed which is in fact digested. digestible protein see digestible protein. only as an acid trip, and ``A Clockwork Orange'' is just a mess. Tom Cruise desperately tries to save it from the very worst dialogue that has ever been written or spoken. Now we know why his face is so pained during interviews and why all the handlers wanted to keep this monstrosity monstrosity 1. great congenital deformity. 2. a monster or teratism. from being revealed to an unsuspecting public before doling out their $7.50.

Thank you Fred Shuster for the refreshing article about the very refreshing Dr. Toni Grant Toni Grant is an American psychologist and radio talk-show host. Born in New York City, she received her B.A. degree from Vassar College and her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in clinical psychology from Syracuse University. (July 8, L.A. Life). I believe one of Dr. Grant's principal qualities is her honesty. She does not pretend to know everything about everything. I am not always put off by Dr. Laura Schlessinger's (the other radio doc) rudeness with her callers. (Sometimes I believe they even ask for it). I am, however, alarmed with her relentless certainty that she is an expert in every field. Dr. Grant is an expert in her field, as well as an intelligent and articulate radio talk host. (And lord knows, there are very few of these on the airwaves today). - Eileen O'Neill West Hills What would monkey meals do for diet of we humans? I'm writing concerning your July 5 story in L.A. Life, ``Wild monkeys may hold the secret to good nutrition.'' The author lists the good stuff that those monkeys eat and then cautions that people should not rush into the forest and begin eating leaves and wild fruit because human physiology Human physiology is the science of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of humans in good health, their organs, and the cells of which they are composed. The principal level of focus of physiology is at the level of organs and systems. has changed through evolution. After taking a look at the picture of this little fellow, I don't think the author has any worries. Who wants to look like that? - Barbara Talbert Santa Clarita CAPTION(S): photo Photo: no caption (monkey) |
