|
|
The film is all vibrant neon colors and shock-value images: Malone mounting and groping a grotesquely stitched corpse in a morgue, Reeves violating a sleeping woman with a knife, an act of symbolic cannibalism that's taken to graphically literal extremes.

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
His version of a scream is a tweet (or in this case several) calling Streep "one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood," and a "Hillary flunky," and claiming — grotesquely — that he never mocked the reporter, my colleague Serge Kovaleski.
|
|
The predictable rise-and-fall dynamics of EDM (slow verse, gradual build, explosion, start again from the beginning, repeat) — implying as they do a grotesquely overstated machismo enervated by the automation of the regular climaxes — mixes rather amusingly with Western classical harmonic convention.
|
|

|
|
The scholarship of the 1970s and '80s, in particular, did much to minimize their involvement, depicting them as masters in name only and even, grotesquely, as natural allies to enslaved people — both suffered beneath the boot of Southern patriarchy, the argument goes.
|
|

|
|
When you couple the regulatory leviathan with our broken appropriations process, where Congress gets cornered into take-it-or-leave-it omnibus spending bills that grotesquely limit its spending power, the legislative branch today exercises far less authority than the Constitution grants to it.
|
|

|
|
If you visited Trafalgar Square in London in recent years, you could gaze upon David Shrigley's "Really Good" (2016), a sculpture of a hand with the thumbs-up gesture — with the thumb grotesquely disproportionate to the hand, suggesting everything might not be supergood in Brexit-era London.
|
|
With an almost grotesquely packed schedule and penchant for saying "to be continued" instead of "goodbye," Mr. Lear has got a lot of other things on his mind that do not include "the end" — like a production meeting for his new 13-part series, or lunch.
|
|

|
|
With its 19370 works of art across multiple disciplines, Post Zang Tumb Tuuum appeases the viewer with a fair share of "big" names of the era, including such works as Umberto Boccioni's studies in dynamism, Giacomo Balla's vividly colorful paintings, and Adolfo Wildt's grotesquely classicist sculptures.

But it wasn't the final act of this Machiavellian soap opera: appointed in his place was Arkan's 24-year-old trophy wife Ceca, who just happened to be the nation's biggest pop star and the Serbian equivalent of Dolly Parton, equipped with grotesquely oversized breast implants.
|
|
"Grab them by the pussy," grotesquely, could become the 2016 version of Mitt Romney's infamous comments in 2012 dismissing the "47 percent" of people who don't pay federal income taxes—an off-the-cuff remark from a Republican candidate that symbolizes neatly everything that many voters distrust about them.
|
|
I could tell you that it's about a woman falling in love with a merman, that it's deeply and at times grotesquely erotic, that it's one of the most astute and unflinching examinations of depression I've ever read, and still you'd just have to read it to understand.
|
|
The grotesquely hued candy apple at the centre of the unfortunate homicide last Halloween was as much a testament to America's dodgy food colouring laws as it was to their amateur decorating skills, which, thanks to thousands of practice hours, had greatly improved since the cat's untimely demise.

There's something very medieval about his forms and his style; the monstrous and grotesquely sexual demons stalking through everyday scenes recall the paintings and woodcuts of an earlier era; the images built for symbolic meaning rather than representational accuracy might be the last remnants of a thousand-year-old allegorical tradition.
|
|
Part and parcel with the runaway success of "Alone,"—which has 48 million YouTube streams and counting at the time of writing—is Marshmello's cartoonish headgear, the goofy dabbing in the song's video, and a handful of synth lines as grotesquely sticky and sweet as downing a whole bottle of Karo.

|
I took a thick roll of spongecake filled with yuzu curd to my boyfriend's father in the hospital and left it on a plastic folding table with a note, and built a wobbly whirly-domed charlotte that was grotesquely beautiful, serving it after a lunch at home of salad and fried chicken.
|
|

|
|
In 1956 America had its agricultural sector exempted from rules limiting state support—only to see the European Community, as the EU then was, using the same exception a few years later to create its common agricultural policy, a grotesquely distorting system of subsidies that American negotiators went on to spend decades trying to curb.
|
|
Even as an adult, I have found myself time and again in conversations with young Pakistani or Indian or Afghan or Iraqi or Somali men (women tend to be more open-minded), and have heard such grotesquely homophobic comments in such casual tones that it was clear that homophobia was encoded in their—our—brains.

"With Michael Jackson, you can see how grotesquely his fame, and our worship of fame, distorts and excuses and enables evil — to the point mothers fail to protect their children and literally throw them in harm's way," says Maureen Orth, who did groundbreaking stories in the '90s for Vanity Fair about both Jackson and Allen.
|
|
Everyone good is dead, America is in danger of being gifted to a leather handbag with a list of reasonable policies even shorter than his fingers, and our only shred of common happiness, Stranger Things, has been ruined by an exhausting run of public appearances that feels physically and grotesquely forced upon me, like too much ice cream.
|

With his cheeks flocked with old acne scars, the sebum gleam to his macrocephalic forehead, his long, exquisitely dented aquiline nose (his favorite feature), inexpiably seedy smile, and hair an untamable squall of dark curls, Bobby, at twenty-nine, resembled a not unhandsome but grotesquely ancient teen-ager, a physical template he happened to consider the Platonic ideal for a poet.
|
|
For Sanders, democratic socialism and a 21st century economic bill of rights, designed to finish what Roosevelt started decades earlier, is the only way to fix an economy that is "fundamentally broken, and grotesquely unfair" and prevent the "deeply rooted and seemingly intractable economic and social disparities" that emerged after the Great Depression in the 1930s and contributed to the rise of Nazi Germany.

So to defeat Amazon, a sprawling e-commerce giant that has become grotesquely profitable in part because it is ultra-convenient and efficient, one of Walmart's potential plans is...

The events leading up to present, Jonathan sucker-punched in a grocery store parking lot — — his reusable shopping bag on its side, the chocolate cake he had been instructed to pickup from the Bakery skittered across the pavement in its plastic shell, the SpongeBob depicted in colorful frosting now warped and grotesquely skewed — — could be traced back to a simple, harmless, miscommunicated facial gesture.
|
