...Brooklyn exterminator, is D'Amato's most formidable rival ever, a nine-term Congressman with solid centrist credentials, a dazzling legislative record, and as much energy, ambition and shamelessness as D'Amato. (The most dangerous place in Washington, Bob Dole once said, is between Schumer and a TV camera.) And this time, some of D'Amato's old tricks haven't been working. He and his consultant, the reclusive Arthur Finkelstein, like to brand opponents as hopelessly, shamelessly, endlessly liberal, but Schumer supports the death penalty and wrote the 1994 Crime Bill, which put 100,000 cops on the beat...
...underworld. Aidan Quinn, who plays the good-looking detective called in to solve the case of the disappearance of Kidman's ex-boyfriend, is the quintessential John Wayne cowboy that Hollywood has never fallen out of love with. Unfortunately, he's not nearly as good-looking as the camera would have us believe. Cursed with a bad haircut and looking overweight, Quinn will never be a real heart-throb alongside the likes of DiCaprio or, for the older set, Cary Grant.

But these days, it's the ratings that matter, and baseball is getting dangerously near (gasp!) hockey territory. Maybe if Fox could put a camera in Don Zimmer's belly button...

Though we laughed when his wife looked directly into the camera to advertise a cooking product and when the show's director prompted, "Cue the sun!", the movie's emotional center was Truman's exit. The movie broke out of being simply another meditation on the control of the media and the audience's complicity in "to be continued" plot lines...
...sure, Congressman? No sooner had the hearing ended than I saw an ad put up by the group called People for the American Way (the American People for the American Way would be redundant). A maternal-looking lady was saying to the camera, "Let's move on. That's what the American People are saying loud and clear. But some in Washington are listening to the Religious Right--not the people...
