Sighting Shots

Famous quotes containing the words sighting and/or shots:

    Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.
    Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)

    The simplest surrealist gesture consists in going out into the street, gun in hand, and taking pot shots at the crowd!
    —Surrealist slogan from the 1920s, quoted by Luis Buñuel in My Last Sigh, ch. 10 (1983)
