...guessed that Malick would be the one directing seemingly every other male movie star in Hollywood in a big-scale World War II combat epic. The picture is The Thin Red Line, based on the James Jones novel about the battle of Guadalcanal. The cast includes George Clooney, John Cusack, Woody Harrelson, Nick Nolte, Gary Oldman, Sean Penn, Bill Pullman and John Travolta. And they are only, with the exception of Penn, members of the supporting cast...
...papers came from Lex Cusack, a former law clerk in Connecticut who claims he found them among documents belonging to his father, Lawrence Cusack, a New York City attorney who died in 1985. Though the documents had been authenticated, Cusack claimed, by handwriting experts (and many had been sold to collectors for a total of some $4 million), the more the journalists looked at them, the more the papers began to look fishy. Last spring Mark Obenhaus, the free-lance producer working with Hersh on the TV documentary, noticed that one letterhead dated 1961 carried a ZIP code--before...
Hersh has removed the chapter in his book that was based on Cusack's documents and rewritten portions of the rest to reflect that omission, and the book is still scheduled to come out in November. ABC News president David Westin says he still "hopes and expects" to air the documentary later this year but won't make a final decision until it is completed.

...wait a minute; Howard can't be gay. He's the track coach! And he's about to marry the sweet, desperately needy Emily Montgomery (Joan Cusack). Though he plaintively denies he's gay, and though his parents (Debbie Reynolds and Wilford Brimley) support him, some people are intrusive or vengeful: a tabloid-TV reporter (Tom Selleck), the school principal (Bob Newhart) and a few students who think homosexuality is just too weird, man. As one solemnly declares, the human body has "in" holes and "out" holes, and "gay guys put 'in' stuff in the 'out' holes...
...rest of the principal cast is chock-full of top-notch comic actors who unfortunately aren't given enough room to expand beyond the realm of the obvious. Cusack's fans will likely enjoy her turn as the ugly-duckling fiancee badly in need of a self-esteem booster (which of course she gets, this being movie comedy land). Debbie Reynolds plays a blander kind of "Mother" more reminiscent of the comic strip "Cathy" than her recent foray with Albert Brooks. Bob Newhart, as the high school principal, manages to keep a completely deadpan expression throughout the entire movie, almost...
