...destroyed whatever buzz he had generated in the industry. Thoroughly. He went after roles in which he wasn't the son or romantic lead. The result was that, with the exception of Monster's Ball, all the films he has made since A Knight's Tale got critical drubbings or have been commercial busts or both (including this year's The Brothers Grimm and Lords of Dogtown), at least in the U.S. Even Brokeback Mountain, which was the talk of the Toronto and Venice film festivals and has generated lip-smacking advance criticism, could be a tough sell. Many people...
...convert 500 screens across Europe by 2007, Belgian firm XDC will charge theater owners a small monthly fee and make up the difference itself.

As throngs of teens in the audience cheered and laughed, Ninja grinned right back, shouting “You’re all criminals, but we love you anyway!” The Go! Team’s sunny indie-pop-cum-hip-hop sound and on-stage dynamism got Boston’s Paradise Rock Club jumping like a joyous street party...
When asked on Tuesday night if, in light of the tepid student interest for Wyclef, research could have prevented such misappraisals of student buzz, McCambridge casually cited “some Crimson article” from 2004 as research that reported student’s top musical choice to be Wyclef. In actuality, the March 8, 2004 article, “Wyclef Voted Top Choice for Concert,” covered a UC-representative-only vote on an HCC-written list of potential performers for the spring 2004 concert.
