|
The self-possession Stanfield dramatizes often means that his characters — Darius from Atlanta, adrift in a wash of murmurs and sporadic theoretical asides, or Cassius Green from Sorry to Bother You, a movie that externalizes the racial ventriloquism that goes on in the mind of a black telemarketer — possess a sneaky intelligence.

|
|
Woven through the cheerleading for blue-collar "real America" and the vaguely racist asides about foreign policy was a crystal-clear message about the Republican Party: It has ignored the genuine concerns of true conservatives for too long, and a complete outsider like Trump is the only person conservatives can trust to take them seriously.
|
|
The comic is full of off-kilter jokes and witty asides (the footnotes North includes on nearly every page are as welcome as distractions get), tongue-in-cheek Marvel riffs (Squirrel Girl's cheerful harassment of Tony Stark is an ongoing gag), and victories that turn on intellect and cunning more often than brute strength.
|
|
Naturally, as obviously bad movies go, The Shallows is dragged under by expository asides and "plot" devices: the hovering presence of Lively's long-dead mother, a seagull whom she can voice-command like a dog, her tendency to talk herself through pain and suffering like a med student practicing bedside manner, and the anthropomorphic malevolence of the shark itself.
|
|

|
Talking to the camera is a thing Fleabag does, and it's a thing the show does, so of course she's going to keep doing it, offering witty, snide asides that elicit some great laughs in the middle of all the farce (and given that this is a season where Fleabag falls for a Catholic priest, farce abounds).

|
Though she refers occasionally to the special pressures and privileges of being part of a group of celebrity patients — there is a visit from President Obama, a ride on the Zamboni at Boston's TD Garden, a People magazine photo shoot — Sdoia appears to view them as little more than minor asides, and maybe for good reason.

|
|
So under a billowing white silk balloon-tent commissioned from the architect Smiljan Radic to cocoon her guests (and, yes, provide much fodder for audience asides about the amount of hot air in the room) came jackets that swooped up at the hemline to transform into trench coats, the orbital curves created by the cut belling out to catch the breeze.

A chance Tuesday to rally his base His new unifying tone will also be sorely tested when he walks into the bear pit of a rally in Arizona on Tuesday night, when the teleprompter Trump may be replaced by the freewheeling campaign trail version who can't resist quips and asides that frequently steer him into political strife and alienate all but his loyal political core supporters.

|
Looking back at the 1983 speech, what is striking is not just the flattery, the praise, the repeated effusions of "I believe in you," it is the mastery with which a commander in chief elevates domestic gun rights into the wider mission of national security, peppering his prepared remarks with hushed asides about progress in the Middle East, foiled drug-running operations and the menace of communist espionage.
|
|
Richard Nixon (who else?) made it the centerpiece of arguably the most Machiavellian strategy in modern American political history: His Philadelphia Plan, with its blatant minority business set-asides and insistence on craft unions' acceptance of blacks, was the most extreme hard version of the program ever undertaken, resulting in major improvements for blacks at all levels of the economy, to the applause of nearly every black leader.
|
|
In the crassness of the writing, it has often been argued, there is actually a critique, an understanding—reinforced by frequent narratorial asides as well as writerly exegeses in interviews and essays—that this desiccated landscape of human relationships is what one gets when the 1960s assault on heterosexual monogamy arrives, through the wasteland of the 1980s, at the internet-driven, globalized, and consumerist approach to life of recent decades.

|
Filled with allusions to everything from "Tristram Shandy" to "The Lone Ranger," from "Paradise Lost" to "Alice in Wonderland," and crammed full with puns, wordplay, vulgar jokes and lyrical asides, "The Moor's Last Sigh" is many books at the same time: a demented family saga, a twisted Bildungsroman, an exploration of the uses and misuses of art and a dark historical parable that rivals Mr. Rushdie's 1981 masterpiece, "Midnight's Children," in scope, inventiveness and ambition.
|
|
It's getting to the point where there's so much to say about each episode that moments as striking as Price asking a former colleague to pave the way for China's takeover of Congo and saying he'd like to be the most powerful person on Earth since God, or Joanna Wellick dressing for her confrontation with Elliot while the Japanese hard-core band Bleach screeches in the background during the opening credits, can be comfortably reduced to mere asides.
