...scholars and, from Ben's housemates, a scheme for a website that will itemize the nude scenes of movie actresses. This is an idea so perfect for the Internet that it actually precedes it: Craig Hosoda published his first edition of The Bare Facts Video Guide in the late 80s. The notion was later adapted for the Internet as the Mr. Skin site. Would the Ben-guys not have known of such a site? Are they pretending they have a project so they can watch movies of naked ladies? The answer, again: Because it's a movie...
...font of this friendly, funky vibe is Lasseter, the jolly round fellow (any cartoonist could draw him in two seconds and three circles) with a weakness for assaultively colorful Hawaiian shirts. In the mid-'80s, this Disney renegade began making computer-animated shorts, one of which, Tin Toy, won an Oscar six years before he finished Pixar's first feature, 1995's Toy Story. That movie changed animation history, as Walt Disney had in 1937 with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Do we want to grow...
...first Encores! entry of 2007, Stephen Sondheim's and James Goldman's Follies, might seem in no need of excavation. The original production, in 1971, is well remembered, indeed cherished, by the folks of a certain age who haunt City Center. The fabulous CD is readily available. In the 80s a famous concert version (also on CD) was performed at Carnegie Hall, and just six years ago a not-so-hot Broadway revival - I should say embalming - was on display...
