...biopic about the screenwriting duo would probably fade in with obligatory teenage scenes of skinny Scott growing up in Los Angeles and larger Larry in South Bend, Ind., both obsessively making Super-8mm movies. Cut to the late '70s, when these film geeks become roommates at the University of Southern California after discovering a mutual love for trashy horror flicks like Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Feast and 2000 Maniacs. Now jump-cut to 1990, when they sell an original comedy about a bad seed called Problem Child but become dejected by the unfunny film that is made. To cheer themselves...
...next day we're off, Varadero to Cienfuegos. First passengers, from a roadside crowd of 15 or 20: a mother-and-child duo, the mother skinny and snaggle-toothed, the baby perfect and in pink, 11 months old, little black shoes, shiny; they're headed home. We roll with them past horse-drawn wagons and slow, lanky cows. Egrets skim over the road, perpendicular. Air warm, sky overcast. The car screams...
What's the next adventure for the dynamic duo? To repeat their previous success with Monsters, Inc., slated for release in 2000. Clearly, Pixar and Disney will continue to dominate the industry. The blend of incredible animation, writing and song make them near unstoppable. A comparison between Toy Story and its sequel reveals the great strides in technology; the humans and clothes in Toy Story 2 have become markedly more realistic. Pixar and Disney's look "To infinity and beyond...

Only about half the crowd had stayed for the closing performance, by freestyle rap duo Scott & Chiqui (comprising Scott Roy '99 and Chiqui Matthew '00, with Tyler Wood '01 as turntablist), but as the duo called the audience forward, it became clear that the wait was worth it. Roy and Matthew's rhymes flowed smoothly, and their old-school touches (human beatbox effects and a strong effort at turntablism). Perhaps the best display...
...honest, emotionally charged and surprisingly intimate in what it reveals about the very strong bond between a mother and her daughter. Each scene is believable and completely organic; it's very easy to forget that you're not watching a real-life story unfold, and that the main duo aren't really related at all. Gavin O'Connor, who directs, co-wrote the screenplay and also acts as Mary...
