  On "The Hollow Men"
But it is meaningful that the hollow men are not bound to such a torment as theirs: to follow the whirling ensign, goaded by hornets and wasps.
And "The Hollow Men" has a similar pattern; moreover, as Genevieve W. Foster has shown in her Jungian analysis, the eyes, the rose, and the star are equivalent to the ''Grail" of The Waste Land.
As the hollow men grope together, form prayers to broken stone, and whisper meaninglessly, so the poem itself gropes toward a conclusion only to end in hollow abstraction, broken prayer, and the meaningless circularity of a child's rhyme.

If you believe The Hollow Men’s story, the director was drunk when the sketch was filmed, and that’s why everything looks so wobbly – they also claim the scene was filmed in zero gravity, making it quite expensive to shoot, but somehow we think they’re making that up, too.

 Edinburgh 2002: Hollow Men
This year's show, with its themes of love, resurrection and buns, will be based more on a narrative than the collections of sketches in previous shows but will still include guest appearances from the likes of folk singer Barnaby Chudd and that doyen of modern interpretive dance Johann Lippowitz.
The Hollow Men can be sheer brilliance, mixing stupid wordplay, fantastic sight gags and strong characters into a superb laugh-out-loud extravaganza.
It's very telling that the highlight of the show is a stupid mime, literally interpreting the lyrics to Natalie Imbruglia's Torn - a sketch they first performed two years ago, even using the same tune.

 Edinburgh Festivals - Hollow Men
SKETCH shows are always going to be a hit-and-miss affair and it is getting increasingly difficult to find a new angle.
Hollow Men believe some old fashioned values can make a great sketch - namely good writing based around an innovative device rather than ludicrous situations or larger-than-life characters.
There are peaks and troughs but if you accept this as an inevitable result of the sketch show format, the hilarious highs more than compensate for the occasional lapses into self-indulgent lows.

 Edinburgh 2001: Hollow Men: A Tribute
A loose collection of sketches, purportedly torn from the history of the Hollow Men through the years, provides a lazy excuse to run through a series of slight, if brilliantly performed, gags.
The show lacks the dazzling energy, fast-paced action and spectacular sense of fun we've come to expect from this lot, who instead seem content to just tread water.
That's not to say this show isn't without its moments, but it's telling that the best sketch - a very literal mime interpretation of a Paul Young number - is just a reworking of a previous idea.

Ever since Comedy Central stopped showing “The Kids in the Hall” and “Saturday Night Live” in favor of the dreadful Mad TV, the network has been lacking a sketch comedy show that is actually funny.

 Archived Entry - 05/21/2005: "Trek book review: Hollow Men"
Una McCormack's Hollow Men follows up with the ramifications of Sisko's and Garak's actions in "In the Pale Moonlight." The question here is: Can Sisko live with what he's done after all? The novel begins soon after the events of the episode, and Sisko's conscience is tormenting him.
Then, two mysterious men show up to tell Garak that they have another job for him: There is a troublesome ex-Starfleet officer who's now leading an anti-war movement; he's been speaking out against the military, and they want him silenced....
What follows is a tense and compelling story, as Sisko tries to work through his unassuaged guilt, and Garak tries to determine the best way to cope with the impossible situation Sisko's confession has put him in.

Far from belonging to the 'monotheistic' religion of the Father-Law, Fletcher shows, Christ makes a break from 'Legalistic' conceptions of the ethical.
And, as Badiou demonstrates in the St Paul book, there were many surprising affinities between Paul and the Gnostics - crucial to all of which is the differentiation of Christ's stance from that of the cruel and capricious Father-despot of the Old Testament.
Kierkegaard's injunction that we leap into faith should be taken less, as is normally done, as a demand for the subsumption of reason into the irrational, but as a call to show fidelity to your conviction.

They are not to be confused with David Armand, Nick Tanner, Sam Spedding and Rupert Russell, the foursome that make up comedy group Hollow Men, who brought the live event of the Fringe to the Edinburgh Festival 2000, Live At The Lounge.
Live at the Lounge is not so much a sketch show as an unravelling story of a night in a seedy cabaret club, peopled by some terribly tragic and perverted acts and performers.
The difficulty and discipline required with cutting a show down to a fifty five minute Fringe performance has obviously lead to some sacrifices, as Sam explains.
