American culture is like a sponge
a: American culture ~
b: a sponge
What: "Godard argues American culture is like a sponge that absorbs the cultures of other countries, but leaves a sticky residue of history behind that makes the absorbed culture meaningless. In Godard's view, American culture has no room for historical accuracy. The film most obviously illustrates this moment when the director stands before posters for Bresson's Pickpocket and The Matrix."

CSI is like watching miscast actors
a: CSI ~
b: Ron Jeremy
What: "i dont watch crime shows becasue of CSI, watching CSI is like watching Ron Jeremy trying to act in Harry Potter" Of course, Mr. Jeremy is well cast for what he does. As Harry Potter, he'd be pretty strange. The point of this statement, the CSI actresses are way too glamorous for real life. Most under stand that these crime shows are fiction. But they border on fantasy much of the time."
