...protest, people had been called to pray, fast, dress in black (one woman wore nothing but red-white-and-blue underpants), turn their backs, skip work, boycott gas, spend "Not One Damn Dime" to bring the economy to a halt for a day of lament. There were flags burned and snowballs thrown, much jostling, some pepper spray. The satirical Billionaires for Bush auctioned off Social Security and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge before moving on to their Re-Coronation Ball (its code: "Dress to oppress"). The spirit of the First Amendment floated down Pennsylvania Avenue, between protesters chanting "Racist, sexist...
Abrams' ever juggling style is reflected in the enjoyable narrative ADD of his series. Their themes--deception and mystery--mean that Abrams can, and does, remake them on a dime. Good people turn out evil and vice versa. Characters are killed ... or are they? Even Felicity had two series finales--the second showing what would have happened if Felicity had made different choices in college.

A wide assortment of music, from Outkast to Queen, gives performers the freedom to show off their pipes any way they please. The Milky Way also boasts the inexpensive Bella Luna Restaurant and a set of retro bowling lanes...
...hurries along the dissolution of Barrie's marriage, also apportions blame far too blithely, turning James' wife (the lovely Radha Mitchell) and Sylvia's mother (the meanly used Julie Christie) into those familiar villains, small-minded grownups. Sylvia too is a stick figure: languishing like the heroine of a dime romance, she suffers severe attacks whenever a play is to be staged in her honor. Only toward the end, when Peter Pan is staged in her home, does the movie alchemize from the subpar into the nearly sublime by asserting that theatrical art, at its best, is a sweet affirmation...
