...this year. But Andie Grace, a spokesperson for the festival who keeps track of such things at the annual, week-long circus in the Nevada desert, said there's no way to know. "Among the oldest participants I've ever had the pleasure to hang out with, one was actor Larry Hagman, who was born in September of '31," she said. "So your cousin has him beat." Easily. Irving was seven when J.R. Ewing was born...
...second tier of summer's heroes included some surprises, too. Iron Man, a new franchise built around a lesser-known Marvel Comics character and a lead actor, Robert Downey Jr., whose indie-heavy resume didn't suggest he'd lure the masses, managed to take in $317.5 million.

"When the city started to decline...

Ostensibly satirizing high school inspirational movies, this ragged comedy lines up all the objects of scorn, then cops out with a rousing finish. It's typical of showbiz parodies that Hamlet 2 finally becomes what it purports to mock...
