I believe the preferred nomenclature is "Randies".

You are too kind, munificent, perspicacious and agreeable, Mr Dahl.

Or, alternatively: perceptive, intelligent, teasing and inquisitive. Any old bugger can sling in a list of pejorative/complimentary adjectives without justification.

Thank you, poetic mastercritic @avclub-d2f3a3e28cb36101ad55b96158fe1b50:disqus, for your forgiveness!

I was just about to say that his theatre work is severely underrated here - an impression only confirmed that the representative of 'the critics' "patting [Spacey] on the head" is Quentin Fucking Letts in the Daily Fucking Mail. That review was only ever going to say, "well, he's no Olivier". Here's a proper critic on…

If Proust is pop culture, what is plain old culture?

That quote you misunderstood (you've taken Pi to be Martel/Lee, rather than a character telling a long story in his novel/film) was clearly in line with the religious themes introduced early on. I'm not sure anyone was expecting big spiritual revelations, even from a 3D movie; Pi's New Agey conclusions about narrative…
