I like reading John Kenneth Muir's reviews. He's one of the best when it comes to writing thoughtful balanced reviews of various films. His texts are goldmines for those who dig peculiar details in film criticism.
Anyway - he's doing M. Night Shyamalan retrospective series of reviews now (leading up to the Glass opening and subsequent review, i suppose). A couple of days ago he had posted his re-review of Shyalaman's divisive 2008 outing "The Happening".
As you remember - this was the film about plants getting angry at people and releasing some kind of toxin that made people killing themselves real hard. To he honest, this premise is a misanthropist wet dream. The film is a stilted and numb and complete opposite of Zulawski. This is the film that Andrei Tarkovsky would've liked to direct - I'm serious.
Anyway - that's not what this post is about. This post is about formatting. Or to be exact - about one formatting peculiarity of Kenneth's review. You see - some parts of his review were whited out. The reason for that is unclear as the whiteout parts don't really contain anything that can be considered as a spoiler - just some subjective thoughts on the subject. I guess it is nothing more than a routine formatting mishap. But what a fascinating one.
The majority of whiteouts are nothing specials - just long white bars with a shorter one at the end of the paragraph. More fragmented paragraphs are more visually diverse but they are few and far between.
Take a look:
