“Texting has reduced the number of waste words, but it has also exposed...” — Richard Corliss Quote

“Texting has reduced the number of waste words, but it has also exposed a black hole of ignorance about traditional - what a cranky guy would call correct - grammar.”

“Before sequels became the most reliable way to make a buck, Bond set the standard for lavish serial adventures. Before Hollywood found gold in multimillion-dollar adaptations of comic-book characters - in the Superman, Batman and Spider-Man blockbusters - Bond was the movies' first big-budget franchise superhero.”

“Reconstruction is the great black hole that remains to be filled. Even experts on the Civil War don't really understand its full significance.”

“If you go down through the horizon of a black hole, at the center you don't find a tunnel that leads you to some other place in the universe.”

“I'm interested in finding whether or not there is a really massive, what we like to call 'super massive' black hole at the center of our galaxy. And the reason this is interesting is that it gives us an opportunity to prove whether or not these exotic objects really exist.”
