all monsters and dust

knife sex simile

I just heard Katharine Monk reviewing The Human Stain on DNTO. She was complaining that Anthony Hopkins is horribly miscast and works miserably opposite Nicole Kidman, who is "pretty edgy herself." Then she said, "Watching the romance build between them is like watching two serrated knives get in on. Intellectually it works, but emotionally it is all wrong."

Maybe my favourite simile ever.
 




about

"The mind of the thoroughly well informed [person] is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, and everything priced above its proper value."
