The eroded, lumpish plateau that rose from the valley floor on either side was, in late October, parched bare and tan.

In the drawing "Ungeheuer in Bereitschaft (Monsters in Readiness)," a cavalcade of ghoulish stick figures, with lumpish heads and stigmata-like eyes, stumbles forward like a pathetically untrained army.

" When it came out, the New York Times art critic Roberta Smith described it as "a fascinating if lumpish bit of Shermaniana," while Ms. Smith's movie-critic colleague Stephen Holden panned it as "sadly inept.

Lumpish pace and thin plotting has blighted other Marvel Netflix shows, and while this one isn't exactly breakneck (it still has the steady, unhurried canter of a cable drama), it only takes three episodes for our heroes to... erm... assemble.

Photograph by Pari Dukovic for The New Yorker When you walk into the apartment—which is small and dark—the first thing you see is a royal-blue nylon curtain suspended from the ceiling like a shower curtain and drawn around a lumpish object that turns out to be a Steinway grand piano.

Spirited young women are commended and the Irish squirarchy's lumpish obsession with creature comforts is upbraided. Sir Patrick arranges suitable marriages for his entire family, without regard to money, and the high point of the action is his benevolent tricking of his unprincipled son Charles into making an honest woman out of a serving-girl he (Charles) has debauched.

The building was designed by Michael Palladino of Richard Meier and Partners of New York. Natural lighting reaches all the interior spaces and some enjoy natural ventilation as well. The building "triumphs", wrote one critic, "as a graceful departure from the lumpish mediocrity of its neighbors, as a guardian of green space at the heart of the city, and by transforming public perceptions of the law in action". The San Diego Architectural Foundation criticized the GSA for demolishing an historically significant structure, the Hotel San Diego, to clear the land for construction of the courthouse.

' Los Angeles Times. 6 September 1981. In another restrospective review, Alan Jones of Radio Times awarded the film three stars out of five, arguing that it "may not be up to the standard of the previous two Sinbad adventures — it's too long and Patrick Wayne is a distinctly charisma-free hero — but there's still plenty of pleasure to be had from the special effects of Ray Harryhausen." Halliwell's Film Guide described it as a "lumpish sequel to a sequel: even the animated monsters raise a yawn this time".

In a review for The New York Times, art critic Roberta Smith states that the film lacks the artist's usual finesse and is a retrospective of her work - "a fascinating if lumpish bit of Shermaniana." Movie critic colleague to Roberta Smith, Stephen Holden, called the film "sadly inept." Later, she had a cameo role in John Waters' film Pecker, and also appeared in The Feature in 2008, starring ex-husband Michel Auder, which won a New Vision Award. Echoing similar grisly and gory elements as her Untitled Horror series, the film includes several artistically executed murder scenes.

The Globe and Mail film critic wrote "The fault here is doubly Bartlett's, for his lumpish direction and hopeless screenplay. For a script that is based on a true story, it's an amazing hodge-podge of misused fictional film cliches: Apocalypse Now dictates the style for the bombing of a boatload of refugees; Rocky determines the style of the boxing match between Everingham and Kapler; Chariots Of Fire donated Everingham's crusty British physical fitness trainer (played by Edward Woodward) and even the shark from Jaws has a brief cameo. Why not call it Close Encounters of The Third World Kind and have done with it?"A shameless Comeback attempt Lacey, Liam.

The text of Pierce Penniless contains an attack on both Richard Harvey, the astrologer and the Marinists, who, as part of the Marprelate Controversy, had been waging a pamphlet war attacking the episcopacy of the Anglican Church.The Oxford Companion to English Literature. Edited by Margaret Drabble. 1985 Oxford University Press Near the midpoint of the story, Nashe's salvo begins: ::Gentlemen, I am sure you have heard of a ridiculous ass that ... wrote an absurd Astrological Discourse ... I have read over thy sheepish discourse of The Lamb Of God And His Enemies, and ... I could not refrain, but bequeath it to the privy, leaf by leaf as I read it, it was so ugly, dorbellical, and lumpish.

E.J. Kenney considered this twentieth-century experiment to be a refreshing break from the Porsonian norm, and emblematic of the best kind of modernist simplicity and directness: > More recently there has been a welcome and long overdue return to the older > and purer models. The pleasing modification of M.E. Pinder's "Griechische > Antiqua" used by Teubner in some of their editions represents a lost > opportunity, having been regrettably abandoned in favour of the "dull and > lumpish" fount (Victor Scholderer's words) that is still the uniform of the > series.E.J. Kenney, "From script to print," in Greek Scripts: An illustrated > introduction, Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, 2001, p. 69. Kenney referred to Bruno Snell's Bacchylides edition of 1934; closely comparable is the Philodemus example illustrated here.

In his case, Giannoulas cited that the purple dino was a "symbol of what is wrong with our society--an homage, if you will, to all the inane, banal platitudes that we readily accept and thrust unthinkingly upon our children", that his qualities are "insipid and corny", and that he also explains that, in an article posted in a 1997 issue of The New Yorker, he argues that at least some perceive Barney as a "pot-bellied," "sloppily fat" dinosaur who "giggle[s] compulsively in a tone of unequaled feeble-mindedness" and "jiggles his lumpish body like an overripe eggplant." This court agreed with Giannoulas, and ruled against Lyons on 29 July 1998, declaring the sketches to be a parody that did not infringe on the rights of the character that Lyons created.

The Anti-Defamation League accused Gibson of anti-semitism over the film's unflattering depiction of Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin. In The Nation, reviewer Katha Pollitt said, "Gibson has violated just about every precept of the (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) conference's own 1988 'Criteria' for the portrayal of Jews in dramatizations of the Passion (no bloodthirsty Jews, no rabble, no use of Scripture that reinforces negative stereotypes of Jews, etc.) ... The priests have big noses and gnarly faces, lumpish bodies, yellow teeth; Herod Antipas and his court are a bizarre collection of oily-haired, epicene perverts. The 'good Jews' look like Italian movie stars (Magdalene actually is an Italian movie star, the lovely Monica Bellucci); Mary, who would have been around 50 and appeared 70, could pass for a ripe 35." Among those to defend Gibson were Orthodox Jewish rabbi Daniel Lapin and radio personality Michael Medved.

Attebery notes that trolls came into English first through Asbjørnsen and Moe's 1841 collection of traditional Norwegian tales, Norske- Eventyr, but that this was followed by Scandinavian retellings with reimagined trolls. Trolls thus moved from being grim Norse ogres to more sympathetic modern humanoids. In her view, Tolkien's trolls are based on the ogre type, but with two "incarnations": ancient trolls, "creatures of dull and lumpish nature" in Tolkien's words,Return of the King, Appendix F, I, "Of Other Races", "Trolls" unable to speak; and the malicious giants of strength and courage bred by Sauron with "enough intelligence to present a real danger". The scholar of English Edward Risden agrees that Tolkien's later trolls appear far more dangerous than those of The Hobbit, losing, too, "the [moral] capacity to relent"; he comments that in Norse mythology, trolls are "normally female and strongly associated with magic", while in the Norse sagas the trolls were physically strong and superhuman in battle.
