Time is distorted throughout the video in a vain attempt to imbue lame visuals with significance. An awkward couple hooks up on a couch and a droplet of water falls from a faucet first forward and then backward. This convoluted series of events is intended to signify the singer’s retrospection, but instead just comes off as confusing...
...last decade Hollywood has largely exhausted the story-telling craft and, for the most part, the star-making business. The industry had nowhere to go but backward: into the prehistory of its most popular characters. So in hope of recycling old heroes for a teen audience, it explored the early years in the legends of Superman, Batman, James Bond and Bugs Bunny, Indiana Jones and Darth Vader. So why, for love of commerce or love of his creation, shouldn't Harris examine Hannibal in his pupal or pubertal stage...
...Georgia, a hero of the civil rights movement, is heartsick over the prospect that the Supreme Court might end the forcible imposition of integration in the society. But Lewis is a sunny soul, and he told me, "Society has come so far, and we're certainly not going backward."

If newspapers were going to be at 20% [profit margins] going forward, you wouldn't have pressure from shareholders. But revenues are declining. On the positive side, the costs of newsprint...
...person in Bushland who still had a reputation for realism and who could command the President's ear, alone: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Would she propose the commission to the President? After some hesitation, Rice agreed, but she made one request: the commission had to look forward, not backward, in part because she knew the dysfunctional Bush foreign policy operation, tilted as it was so heavily along the Cheney-Rumsfeld axis, would not permit, much less sustain, scrutiny. As the trio departed, a Rice aide asked one of her suitors not to inform anyone at the Pentagon that chairmen...
