...MOULIN ROUGE A never-prettier Nicole Kidman entrances hunkily soulful Ewan McGregor in an orgasmic swirl of color, design and pop music from mad Aussie Baz Luhrmann. In the age of Media Cool, this recklessly romantic burst of kinetic excess offended nice sensibilities (see next page) even as it launched other viewers into rapture. I'm with the rapt. The movie asks, Moulin Rouge-ez avec moi ce soir? I say, Sure. All night long...
...several different categories?nine ball, straight pool, rotation, one pocket, carom billiards?and two Southeast Asian Games gold medals in 1987. In 1995, he was Billiards Digest's Player of the Year. In 1997, he survived a three-day, $100,000 race to 120 in Hong Kong?billed "The Color of Money I"?against top American Earl Strickland, winning 120-117 and collecting $75,000 (less a $10,000 winner-to-loser payment he and Strickland agreed to before the match). A year earlier in Reno, Nevada, again facing Strickland, he had produced one of the most memorable shots...
Just west of the A-la Shan Plain, some 700 km from Hohhot, the Helan Shan range rises to 3,600 m, and the landscape suddenly blooms with a stunning array of alpine trees, grasses and flowers?an almost overwhelming riot of color for eyes accustomed to the dun of the desert. A new Buddhist temple nestles just below the summit. The Tibetan-style structure, painted in dazzling primary colors, was built to replace the previous temple, which was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution...
...yachtsman's robust health--granted Signac some 40 years more than Seurat got. But he never painted better than he did in the late 1880s and early 1890s. His best pictures of the Cote d'Azur--of Cassis, of St.-Tropez--possess a wonderful rigor, density and subtlety of color. The danger inherent in pointillism was that all those microdots, if their tonal relations were not perfectly controlled, could look like a bad case of measles. In his middle years Signac almost always avoided this. The seascapes become what they are meant to be: a vibration of light...
...American music industry is ruled by stereotypes: whites rock, blacks rap and croon soul, and few dare to cross the color line. There are hardly any Asian pop acts of prominence in the U.S. (no wonder some see Utada as mysterious). Utada is mounting a challenge to the status quo. On Blow My Whistle, her voice is more resonant than on her Japanese-language songs, and the track boasts beats that are more forceful. She leaves no doubt: she's got Mary J. Blige, 125th Street-type soul...
