...able to catch these shows. Two others didn?t wait for possible G.O.P. spillage. Last weekend rang down the final curtain on ?Caroline, or Change,? the most affecting musical play I?ve seen in quite some time, and the farce revival ?Sly Fox,? which got a whole new cast, for naught, just a fortnight ago. It?s as if producers couldn?t decide whether to stick out the convention or accede to the impulse of millions of New Yorkers this week, and get out of town...
...WHAT'S TINA GOT TO DO WITH IT? Filmmakers Ismail Merchant and James Ivory have set many of their films in India. But the duo's The Goddess, still in preproduction, has Hindus up in arms over Tina Turner's being cast in the title role as the goddess Shakti: the singer's sex appeal is "improper" for the divinity, according to one anti-Tina petition...
...need that kind of narrative logic now. That, anyway, is how Hollywood is betting this fall. From Ray (Charles, that is) to Che (Guevara), we are going to see a lot of real people--all male, natch--battling their way to triumph or martyrdom.

The director never intended to reunite the cast, but while on a press tour in Italy "I could just see in his eyes that he had a great idea," adds the actor, whose own sequel, The Bourne Supremacy, was a summer hit. The movie's retro-glamorous European locations ensured that the shoot...
...stereo in my living room knows too much about me. It knows that I listen to cheesy love songs by Rod Stewart and that I am hooked on show tunes from the Mamma Mia! original-cast recording. It remembers which songs I play five times in a row and which ones I skip altogether. Called the Bose Lifestyle 48 and available this week for $3,999, the stereo understands all this because it comes with uMusic, an "intelligent playback system" that stores hundreds of CDs on a hard drive and can learn its owner's musical tastes...
