...wants to be. Jesse Ventura has sketched out a libertarianism on social issues (and an internationalism on trade issues) that a Buchanan candidacy would instantly erase. Buchanan's followers are rabidly pro-life and anti-foreigner and not disinclined to scan the skies for black helicopters and other imaginary craft. They also turn out at the polls ? Buchanan could expect to clear the 5 percent hurdle the party needs to hang on to its matching funds in 2004. But, and it's a big but, they have the effect of scaring everybody else away. The Reform party?s best long...
...Sevigny)--when Von Trier & Co. suggested he make it under Dogme strictures. "I liked the idea of it being a rescue action from the elevation of cosmetics," he says, "the idea of not hiding behind the trickery." Bremner found that the stripped-down system let him focus on his craft: "I don't have to reserve a portion of my brain to monitor the on-set mechanics--lighting rigs, camera tracks, field of focus.

Unfortunately, most Hollywood celebrities are desperate for "respect," a supposed consequence of winning an award. Instead, it provides a fleeting gush of self-importance which soon lapses into a renewed drive for something bigger and better. Leave it to "Politically Incorrect" host Bill Maher...
...singer Louise Rhodes and multi-instrumentalist Andy Barlow--better known as Lamb--craft excellent trip-hoppy pop in an unmistakeably British style, like a less morose Portishead. That comparison, however, belies the nature of the duo's music. The soundscapes that Barlow creates behind Rhodes's voice refuse to gel into the standard trip-hop forms; bebop, drum 'n' bass and harsh techno beats all find their way into an eminently digestible mix. The band has undeniable indie cred: they've sampled Charlie Parker, scored a British hit with a song based on the work of classical composer Henryk Grecki...
