		I was talking about reading the novel, less for getting a better appreciation the message about the story (no need to plug it), more about the appreciation of the technique of how the story was told in novel form as opposed to movie form.
		An anticlimax is an anticlimax, no matter how well it was presented.
		The term anticlimax refers to a development after the climax that does not follow from it.

		As uneven an album as Reed has released, it might be easier to take if there had been more of them in the past seven or eight years.
		Instead, it feels like the latest in a series of anticlimaxes.
		Its spareness might pass for daring from other artists, but Reed could dispense tracks like the ponderous "Future Farmers Of America," "White Prism," "Modern Dance" ("Maybe I should be in Edinburgh / in a kilt in Edinburgh / doin' a modern dance"), and the patience-testing 18-minute mumble "Like A Possum" in his sleep.

		As Election Day nears, an anonymous leaflet on the family's dubious past ripples through the community, leaving Baye to seek out her political enemies.
		The leaflet mystery, a dark ancestral secret, and a key murder scene are all staged as anticlimaxes, no more worthy of emphasis than any other moments in the film.
		Only in the masterful final shot does Chabrol justify this grand shrug of a movie by suggesting that an amoral clan like the Charpin-Vasseurs doesn't take their sins all that seriously, either.

		Perhaps the letdown lies in pinning hopes on an abstraction, in this case a number (2000 or 2001, depending on who’s counting).
		Such anticlimaxes are inevitable when products of the human mind govern all awareness of what is and what may never be.
		So now everyone wants to forget the affair and move on, flip the TV channel and reach for another snack.

		The action and inaction take place mainly in a dilapidated house where once three sisters and a brother lived with their parents in heedless opulence.
		The narrative swims backward and forward from the wounding memories of a mysteriously troubled past to the petty anticlimaxes of the present.
		By the time we meet these exiles from happiness, the Swifts are all disfigured in one way or another.

		In a voice-over, James tells us right from the start that ''secrets and discontent lie beneath even the smoothest surface," so we know we're in for 90 obvious minutes, but it's cruel that they aren't more fun.
		The story peels back a series of anticlimaxes, including a cockamamie illness and some snoozy rapprochements.
		No one in the film seems to be thinking with a brain or emoting with a heart, so most of the decisions seem random.

		But the fact is that some tarpon bite and run as lackadaisically as their lowly prey, and a full scale reaction is the only safe way to play it.
		So if Kyle wasn’t happy about starting the day with two anticlimaxes, his temperament was only magnified when a tarpon cleaned a third rod with a screaming run that ended as quickly as it started, with a pulled hook.
		None of which boded well for the fourth poon that went for a catfish breakfast.

		A new biography of Sinclair Lewis, whose novels have been regarded as old but not classic for half a century, is decidedly not in demand.
		Lewis's dismal reputation stems largely from the trajectory of his career, which concluded with one of the longest and most depressing anticlimaxes in American letters.
		Over the next nine years Lewis wrote four more best sellers—Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925), Elmer Gantry (1927), and Dodsworth (1929)—all important books, though none could rival Main Street, and each was worse than the previous one.

		But I'd never read it: it was too much a relic for me to have any interest in it as a child, but was apparently considered insufficiently literary to appear on any of the syllabi I encountered in college and grad school.
		It's not as funny as Twain's comedy pieces, and the plotting is frustrating, chock full of anticlimaxes and poor timing in switching between threads.
		Still, Tom Sawyer became one of the keystones of American popular culture, both in the 1870s and again in the 1990s when it was reincarnated as The Simpsons.

		Cowboy Bebop is my all time favorite, because it's the only one I've seen so far where I felt satisfied with the ending.
		A lot of the animes I've seen disappoint me with anticlimaxes.
		That ticks me off when they build up the tension for a long period of time and then don't have any ending or not a good one.

		The best anticlimax I've ever seen is in: 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' (The only good Monty Python film).
		I've noticed that Lucus likes to work in trilogys and have the second installment end in an anticlimax.

	Rachmaninoff: Concerto No. 2; Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini
		Famous for its lushly romantic "18th Variation" (which is nothing but the main tune played upside down!), the piece is actually the only one I know in which the composer shows a real sense of humor.
		The ending is one of the most hilarious anticlimaxes in all of music.
		Add to this a super performance of the eternally popular Second Piano Concerto, and the result is irresistible.

		When Anthony Loyd, a young Englishman, went to Sarajevo in 1993, he was not yet a journalist, or a writer of any type.
		He was a disappointed British Army veteran (''The gulf war had been one of the greatest anticlimaxes of my life,'' he writes) who had recently survived an episode of suicidal depression.
		In a more idealistic era, he speculates, his druggy crowd of friends in West London might have volunteered to go fight fascism in Spain.

		Best part, for irony's sake: two people of our party of level 15 characters died in this spontaneous mini-dungeon by rolling a 1 on a saving throw against a death effect.
		The worst thing that ever happened as far as anticlimaxes go was my players entire party being eliminated before facing the last great evil.
		The encounter wasn't even supposed to be very challenging, but a combination of bad rolling and the monsters getting overly good rolling saw them all die hideous deaths.

		Without a shot fired, without a revolution, without so much as a press release, the Soviet Union simply gave up and disappeared.

		Tadanobu Asano, heartthrob of Japan's independent film scene, is disturbingly effective as the remote homme fatal.
		A Night in the Nude (1993), by manga-artist-turned-director Takashi Ishii (who got his start making soft porn), is a shapeless mess, an absurdist Grand Guignol piece that anticlimaxes in a dismal attempt to out-gore Psycho's shower scene.
		To boot, it's atrociously homophobic—a gaggle of hysterical queers rush in every reel or so to beat everyone up.
