  Manalive, "How the Great Wind Came to Beacon House"
Michael Moon gave a tragic grin, and waited for his real informant, who spoke a moment after in a voice curiously cool, fresh and young, as coming out of that brown and even dusty interior.
The green, fantastic human figure, vivid against its autumn red and gold, was already among its highest and craziest branches, which by bare luck did not break with the weight of his big body.
The bright brisk leaves, the bleak blue sky, the wild green arms and legs, reminded him irrationally of something glowing in his infancy, something akin to a gaudy man on a golden tree; perhaps it was only painted monkey on a stick.

 Manalive, "The Banner of Beacon"
He remembered how pretty he thought her years ago, when he was ready to fall in love with anybody; but it was like remembering a worship of some Babylonian princess in some previous existence.
At his next glimpse of her (and he caught himself awaiting it) the purple and green chalk was dusted off, and she went by quickly in her working clothes.
"I beg your pardon," inquired Michael, rather sombrely; his long, swarthy head was dark against the sunset, and, either by accident or mood, he had the look of something isolated and even hostile amid the social extravagance of the garden.

 2006 July « The Culturatti
Michael Bay (and, I guess, his various cinematographers) is really good at this kind of look; think of the opening-credits montage from Bad Boys (Miami), and the sequence part-way into The Rock when the action shifts to San Francisco.
It’s why I’ve always been a Michael Bay defender where it’s possible to give him a defence — Pearl Harbor is highly underrated; although there are some moments where it’s just not possible — Bad Boys II anyone?
Where Bay is, despite his certain strengths, admittedly still like a high-schooler in terms of his filmmaking, Michael Mann is undoubtedly a PhD.

 Secular Blasphemy
Mullah Krekar, the leader (or, as he insists, former leader) of Kurdic fundamentalist group Ansar al-Islam, and for many years an asylum-holder in Norway, has extended his 15 minutes of fame into absolute parody, just recently by writing an autobiography.
Fitting, then, that the latest chapter in the story involves a prank played on the grandfatherly terrorist leader by Norwegian-Pakistani humourist Shabana Rehman (picture), known for challenging taboos in the border zone between Norwegian and Muslim immigrant culture.
On Tuesday night as the debate was winding to a close, Rehman came on stage and said she wanted to carry out a "satiric test" to find out if Mullah Krekar was as strongly fundamentalist as some of his critics believe.

When it opened, humourist Danny Katz wondered if it might better be described as the city's spleen, given that it was "odd, misshapen and nobody's really quite sure what it does".
The gallery now has 25 per cent more exhibition space; there is an entire room - The Rembrandt Cabinet - devoted to the gallery's collection of etchings and oils by the Dutch master, and the famed Tiepolo sits grandly at the end of a high-ceilinged salon.
Norman Day calls the refurbishment, with its glass walkways and steel mesh walls a "gentle, firm and decent reformation" while Melbourne architect Michael Rahill, writing in The Age in December, found the revamped building labyrinthine, felt it lacked the clarity of the original and that many of the gallery spaces were cramped.
