...That leaves Kiss Me Deadly, a film not quite meriting its latter cult eminence. The movie so stresses its characters stereotypes (the comic Italians and wasted dames) and facile aural editorializing (braying trombones, in case you didn't catch the blatant ironies in the dialogue) that the exaggeration almost becomes a style, as it surely does in Spillane's writing. This was 1955, when director Robert Aldrich's consistent coarseness was brave and bracing in Hollywood, rather than routine...

...company, fourth place just isn't good enough. With Yahoo!, Google and MSN having built better webtraps, AOL is preparing to reinvent itself to catch up. Its parent company, Time Warner (which is also TIME's parent), announced it will present a new plan for AOL on Aug. 2. The 2000 merger with AOL was supposed to be a cure for Time Warner's slow-growth old-media businesses, but it has been a financial disaster, costing Time Warner nearly $100 billion in market value. AOL's inability to remake itself into a more Google- or Yahoo!-like business...
