...like that misbegotten film it is intended for the last mass audience left to the movies - adolescent males geekily parsing the effectiveness of its special effects. They will doubtless think they?re swell. The director, Gore Verbinski, has spared no expense in realizing them, and there's no doubt in my mind that as a commercial proposition the film will be a winner.

Star Group, an Asian broadcasting subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. media conglomerate, was considering joining Macquarie's bid?even though Murdoch himself expressed doubt that the deal would succeed. China is "treating Macquarie as hostile invaders," Murdoch told The Australian newspaper, which News Corp. owns. "It would be an amazing achievement if Macquarie managed to turn the situation around." Win or lose, though, the PCCW bid won't be the last Mac attack...
