Today, he trails off mid-sentence, goes off on fantastical tangents—at one point he launches into a story that involves someone sniping Theresa May, a wife murdering her husband with soup, and a pixie and Elmo from Sesame Street apropos of nothing.
|
|
He is always looking to transform, even sabotage, his own set, veering off on tangents, interrupting, latching on to a phrase that tickles him, repeating it over and over until it becomes a kind of incantation whose repetition becomes its own bizarre joke.

The simplicity and sturdiness of Seven Samurai's plot accounts for much of what makes it so powerful, and so adaptable: It never strays off on tangents in search of the sort of quick narrative highs that can make more labyrinthine plots so appealing.
|

There, as part of a project called An Artist Embedded, Mr. Gordon immersed himself in Fryer's notes, letters, diaries and other documents, eventually extracting three characters from them: three lives lived at tangents to Fryer's that together triangulated him and his times.
|
|
The Handmaid's Tale has an awful lot of tricky elements to balance, and the strain of that task showed in the middle of its first season as flashbacks and tangents focusing on people other than the actual Handmaids overshadowed most everything else.
|
|
But there's still time for tangents, like a scene of a guy sweeping a floor to the tune of "Green Onions," or a lengthy bit where Ben Horne and Beverly attempt to ascertain the location a strange ringing sound that's emanating from the Great Northern.
|
|
He speaks at a breakneck pace, often veering on tangents and fishing his laptop out of his desk to pull up a YouTube video or show me a website he's particularly stoked on (also, he uses words like "stoked" and "bitchin'" with complete sincerity).
|
|
Their platform carries out emotion tracking and object detection to give Unity developers some freedom to let users interrupt the avatars and send them on tangents, all while learning from the user in how they interact with the character and want them to act.
|

In Iowa and New Hampshire, in front of reserved and often skeptical crowds, Mr. Biden could be stiff and subdued, speaking so quietly he was sometimes difficult to hear, and often pursuing so many tangents that some voters said he was difficult to follow.
|
|
Heavy on distortion and on long, swirling tangents, the record recalls an ostentatious era of weirdness in pop music—a time when artists like George Clinton and Sly Stone assembled large, ramshackle groups of collaborators and exploded previous notions of race and sexual identity.
|
|
But, but, but: This concept is increasingly part of our debate, so it's got me thinking about tangents that are more actionable: to what degree people are willingly taking concrete steps to lower their lifestyle's impact on climate change, or why people are not.
|
|
In conversation, he's likely to go off on tangents about programming modular synthesizers, or the very specific challenges of working in the same room with someone as meticulous as he (recently, that means Venetian Snares' Aaron Funk, with whom he has a project called Speed Dealer Moms).
|
|
Indeed, it is in these moments where the book is weighed down by supposition and tangents — like a section on the 1943 Detroit race riot, which one of Forsyth County's former black residents may or may not have experienced — that ruminations overtake the once taut text.
|
|
The new book — stretching over 2,000 pages, with step-by-step images and a hefty list price of $625 — chronicles the history and science of bread-making in depth ("Baking is applied microbiology," one chapter begins), breaking frequently for meticulous, textbook-style tangents on flour and fermentation.
|
|
The story starts to veer off into tangents that are melodramatic (a fairly insipid Romeo and Juliet subplot involving Gigante's daughter), distractingly implausible (an episode built around attempts to fix a Cassius Clay fight) or both (a family member of Johnson's caught up in drugs and prostitution).
|
|
The debate over the crisis has spun off into many tangents: whether there is any federal law requiring family separation (there isn't), about America's rules for asylum seekers, and whether Congress will do anything about it as the House prepares to take up immigration legislation this week.
|
|

|
|
Always viewing the subject askance, as if through a veil, it wanders off in tangents before being pulled back violently via the elastic cord Cave references, which no matter how far he strays from the event, inescapably catapults him back to the epicentre of his pain and distress.
|
|
A few of the other wild tangents he took: It all suggests what many critics have long suspected: that Trump's attention was riveted by the glitz and glamor of the campaign trail, but that he has no interest in or capacity to doing the hard analytic work of the presidency.
|
|
In some ways, I wonder if this is the show recognizing something fundamental: For as many sidebars and tangents as the narrative wanders off on, and for as enjoyable as many of those storylines are, Game of Thrones has always been the story of two families, the Starks and the Lannisters.
|
|
This means there are no umms, no smoke breaks, no poetic license when it comes to describing how things are supposed to sound, no "personal licks" to boast their own skills (or boredom teaching you), and definitely no tangents about how GMOs are what the government uses to control us.

In their creases and crevices, these items carried my dad's scent, his wit, his long stories with a million tangents, his arching eyebrow, the way he looked obstacles in the eye, the tough times he'd been through and how he had just missed the gateway for a quiet, calmer life.
|
|
Officials of the European Commission, the union's executive body, spent the past year negotiating with member nations for tougher proposals that, while not perfect, face the gun threat candidly without veering off on tangents, like arguing that the gun mayhem could more easily be stopped by addressing immigration or mental illness.
|
|
Natalie: The really nice thing is that there are these moments in reporting that never, ever make it into the newspaper — moments of levity in a tough call, little tangents that would never make it into the lead of a news story, but are just so deeply a part of what we do.
|

"I think Donald Trump, in both debates, has used the strategy of throwing out these kinds of tangents and non sequiturs to kind of move past and avoid any questions that he might not be able to answer, but Hillary Clinton has missed the opportunity to bring him back to actual issues," he said.
|
|
Amongst the many tangents spotlighted is the Mono-ha group (もの派, literally "School of Object'"), which arose during the volatile period of late '60s Japan when leftist student movements which had been simmering since the early '60s emerged in 1967 to protest social issues, harsh academic conditions nationwide, and the American military presence.
|
|
This was true of some of the show's golden era too — its third season is full of bits that grit their teeth so hard the veins pop out on their forehead — but the series was almost always building to something so amazing and out of the blue that you'd forgive the occasional effortful tangents.
|
|
He skirts styles like Laurel Canyon folk-pop in "You're the One," the Beach Boys in "Blue Bird," British trad-rock in "Zombie Conqueror," pop-soul in "What Is the Time" and Gil Evans-tinged ensemble arrangements in "(I Wanna) Feel It All," though he skews all of them toward asymmetry and surprise tangents.
|
|
I'm not sure how to reconcile my categorical objection to almost every one of his political ideologies, and the fact that, at times, I find myself entranced by his long-syllables, his tangents about some local building—any building, point to one—listing off the names of its owners, their families, and what those families liked to cook.
|
|
With Le Voyage Éternel ("The Eternal Voyage") in 2015, the Canadian band set the bar high with an EP that was as impressive as it was original, with the exception that it was an album packed with flashes of greatness and moments of untouchable purity, but one that was equally polluted with tangents that should've stayed in the band's practice space.
|
|
And the Mooch, with his theatrically overdone New-York-finance-bro vibes and apparent longing to call up New Yorker writers to go on long, profane, on-the-record tangents, is exactly the kind of character SNL would make a meal out of — if only his short tenure hadn't happened in the middle of summer, when SNL is traditionally on hiatus.
|
|
Zuckerberg also goes off on some interesting tangents with Wired, for instance the efficacy of AI in certain situations and the status of the Cambridge Analytica audit in the UK. As for whether he'll appear in front of Congress: If it is ever the case that I am the most informed person at Facebook in the best position to testify, I will happily do that.
|
|
Then it proceeds through a long section honoring a panoply of 40003th-century artists from Louis Armstrong to 'N Sync, shorter tangents tracing the special place of Africa in world pop and the musical heritage of 9/11, the "Postmodern Times" section, and finally a farewell keyed to three obituaries I wrote for Noisey in the awful year of 2016: Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen.
|
|
With almost no tangents, the 70-year-old hammered home refined versions of his campaign talking points: the importance of being ruthless in trade negotiations, the need to defeat the social-justice movement and win America's relentless culture war; the necessity of rooting out ISIS; the danger of scary illegal immigrants; and the desperate state of "law and order" when cops are under attack.
|
|
If Alien 3 was notable for how it meandered off on intriguing but unsolvable tangents, Alien: Resurrection took the same ill-disciplined baton and ran for the hills, making Ripley an uncanny human/alien hybrid, and peppering the action with moments of absurdist humor and grotesque visuals (notably when a cloned and resurrected Sigourney Weaver gets to wander around a laboratory filled with failed and deformed versions of herself).
|

More often, however, Hickey casts spells and then breaks them, either by falling too hard for grandiosity ("the sheer appropriateness of [Sharon] Ellis's paintings in Southern California at the dawn of the twenty-first century speaks directly to the problematic of Protestant postmodernism in temperate latitudes and cosmopolitan cultures where neither industrial modernism, Freudian psychology, nor Puritan rigor have ever expressed themselves with much cultural resonance") or embarking on overly nostalgic tangents about the lost underground ("Absolute permission died when the 'art world' became the 'art community' around 1975 … when we all started intervening, and nursing on another, with or without permission").
