The revelation on this occasion is TV's beloved Hercule Poirot, David Suchet, in peerlessly prissy form in "The Collection" as the toupee-wearing, tart-tongued older partner of the younger, bisexual Bill (Russell Tovey), who may or may not have had a dalliance with a married woman (Hayley Squires).

Apart from Pulp's peerlessly bittersweet "Mile End", in fact, all the soundtrack's best moments are vintage classics rather than 90s hits: Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life" (1977), Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" (1972), Brian Eno's "Deep Blue Day" (1983), New Order's "Temptation" (1987 version) and Sleeper's carbon copy of Blondie's "Atomic" (1979).

The authors — book by Bob Martin and Chad Beguelin, songs by Mr. Beguelin (lyrics) and Matthew Sklar (music) — have on their combined résumés both "The Drowsy Chaperone," that peerlessly inane 1920s showbiz spoof, and "The Wedding Singer," an underrated musical comedy about an entertainer so humbled he winds up in a dumpster.

I followed a Saturday matinee of "Hangmen," which I caught on an appropriately dark and raw afternoon on my first day in London, with an evening performance of "Escaped Alone," the new play by the peerlessly inventive Caryl Churchill at the Royal Court Theater (where, as it happens, "Hangmen" made its debut last September, before transferring to the West End).

Xiaoxiang poetry is geographically associated with the Xiaoxiang region, around and south of Dongting Lake, including Kuizhou. The Xiaoxiang genre of literature is often associated with similarly themed Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting. Famous poets in this genre include Du Fu, and the main theme of this type of poetry is more-or-less that of the government official who has been exiled and sent to some peerlessly remote area, such as the Xiaoxiang.

Harpo stopped speaking onstage and began to wear a red fright wig and carry a taxi-cab horn. Chico spoke with a fake Italian accent, developed off-stage to deal with neighborhood toughs, while Zeppo adopted the role of the romantic (and "peerlessly cheesy", according to James Agee) straight man. The on-stage personalities of Groucho, Chico, and Harpo were said to have been based on their actual traits. Zeppo, on the other hand, was considered the funniest brother offstage, despite his straight stage roles.

" Andrew Hampp of Billboard called the album "a peerlessly witty, endlessly melodic tour de force". Consequence of Sounds Sarah Grant commended Pink for "filter[ing] whatever the current trend is through her unique musical lens" and commented that her "consistency proves she should be taken at her word." Josh Langhoff of PopMatters praised Pink's hooks and found the album "not bad" for "major label singer-songwriter stuff". Jon Pareles of The New York Times felt that she "is committed to pop impact, not to any particular style", and "recognizes some nonstorybook sides of romance.

Scott has been accused of having fueled an HIV epidemic in the state while governor, by ensuring the state returned $54 million in unspent federal HIV- prevention grants and blocking $16 million in CDC grants to Miami-Dade and Broward counties. The effect of this rejection of federal funds combined with Scott's stance on Medicaid expansion, has been described as "helping explain why the state’s HIV epidemic became almost peerlessly severe during Scott’s time in office", with the state accounting for 13% of the country's HIV diagnoses in 2017.

Breaking with their usual pattern, neither Harpo's harp nor Chico's piano is used in the film, although Harpo briefly pretends to play harp on the strings of a piano, strumming chords in accompaniment to a duck- shaped music box that is playing. The musical introduction to Groucho's character is similar to those in Animal Crackers and Horse Feathers but it did not become closely associated with him as did "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" from Animal Crackers. Zeppo, as usual, plays, according to James Agee, "a peerlessly cheesy improvement on the traditional straight man", in his final on-screen appearance with his Brothers. He sings with the group (including soloing the first few lines of the first song, "When the Clock on the Wall Strikes 10").

" The Tate has described his output in lithography as "prolific," writing that it "proved an appropriate medium for his graphic flair." Artists and pop fashion designers such as Alexander McQueen, Issey Miyake and Richard Nicoll have cited Jones as an influence on their own styles. Jones is known for incorporating erotic imagery into his works, including rubber fetishism and BDSM, and this sexuality has often been a focus of both art critics and the press. Mark Hudson wrote in 2014 that Jones' "subjects have included musicians, dancers and London buses, but in the popular perception his name is irrevocably linked to his peerlessly kinky fetish women, whether in two or three dimensions, with their machined surfaces and blank expressions – images that are as emblematic of classic British pop art as Peter Blake's Beatles paintings or Hockney's swimming pools.

Following Bat Pussys Blu-ray release in 2017, a resurgence of reviews from cult movie websites further solidified the film's sordid reputation among genre fans. Cinapse dubbed it "The Room of porno", "definitely hilarious in a so-bad-it's-good way" and a "gloriously amazing car crash of a film", while Deadline Hollywood considered it "one of the most sought-after lost films in the history of exploitation cinema", describing it as "what happens when your wildest dreams and most horrifying nightmares collide in an explosion of flaccid stupefaction". Cinepunx, admitting the film was "exceptionally, peerlessly excruciating...a fleshy, unsightly Groundhog Day of torturous porn purgatory", called it a "genuinely fascinating time capsule of regional filmmaking", noting "any fan of oddball trash cinema owes themselves at least one viewing of this strange, cinematic car crash". FilmMonthly singled out Bat Pussy as "a bizarre artifact", "unquestionably one of the strangest, most mysterious, and most outrageously entertaining" title in Something Weird's archives and "spectacularly un-erotic", calling it a "must-have" for exploitation fans. Birth. Movies. Death.
