hokum

1 But Mr. Woodbury’s comment struck me as hokum.

2 Its title, “The Mass Demon,” suggests a connection to worldly politics, and the tendency of gullible crowds to be taken in by the colorful hokum of charismatic Machiavellians.

3 Five years ago, the Thirty-Two-Hour Workweek Act would have been dismissed as progressive hokum.

4 In its less satisfying second act, a tavern spectacle suffers stylistic and structural oddities more typically found in Broadway hokum.

5 A true love is what doesn't busyness , for luxury and moreover for hokum.

真正的爱情不讲究热闹,排场, 奢华,更不会做作.

6 His theatrical embellishment of Victor sawing off limbs and hacking loose a head may be gruesomely funny, but it’s a jolt of grisly B-movie hokum in an otherwise pensive show.

7 High-class hokum it may be, but when "Adriana Lecouvreur" is cast with terrific singers and staged with old-fashioned opulence, who cares?

8 Hannah also uses an oversupply of Alaskan hokum: “Two kinds of folks come up to Alaska, Cora…” And: “You know what they say about finding a man in Alaska...”

9 Not even Mr. Gordon-Levitt’s unremittingly savage performance can begin to salvage such hokum.

10 Everyone knows his story is pure hokum.

11 No more hokum. I want the truth.

别再耍花招了! 我要实话.

12 Called “Cascabel,” the show is a sliver of romantic hokum that is mostly used as a platform for a series of Cirque du Soleil-style diversions.

13 Do you think I should tell my therapist that I reject such hokum, or find another person to tell my troubles to?

14 Not so their scenes, all hokum and working-class Jewish clichés.

15 The moment they run away together, the already flaccid film deteriorates into sudsy hokum that not even Mirren can redeem.

16 “The Ottoman Lieutenant” is deliberately superficial, a handsomely mounted bit of hokum featuring beautiful people in an exotic setting.

17 McCarthy’s screenplay has the Counselor absorbing an extraordinary amount of hokum.

18 The Hollywood Reporter called it “hokum,” and said, “It’s something you’d think only the crassest of Hollywood producers would come up with — injecting sex appeal into an event as ghastly at the Nanjing massacre.”

19 That’s really all there is to a movie that is wide open to charges of being a piece of shamelessly sentimental hokum, which it is.

20 Historically, they’ve often been as stuffed with hokum as fact; the stalwart “Old Farmer’s Almanac” weaves pseudoscientific weather predictions and folk remedies alongside its rigorous tables of tides and moon phases.
