...them, in fact. I even felt a little sorry for James Cameron, despite his tens of millions of dollars in personal wealth, and despite the fact that his previous films have become cultural icons, if not cinematic ones. Now that the industry’s pessimism has been mostly forgotten, I’d like to take a moment to imagine a different cultural landscape—one in which “Avatar” flopped, and the branch of the media that has cropped up to comment upon, fawn over, and criticize Hollywood had to find something else...
...anticipation about Blair's evidence is stoked by Westminster-based journalists and commentators, many of whom have either conveniently forgotten their own support for the war or hope to expunge their complicity with proof that Blair hoodwinked us all. At worst, he is portrayed as a man who cared nothing for questions of morality or legality, so determined was he to fall in behind the U.S. But that is merely to replace one fiction - that Saddam was armed to the teeth with WMD - with another.

...star game is only as good as the players who play in it, and that is part of why the Pro Bowl is football's forgotten game: players like Garrard end up taking the field year after year. Legendary Minnesota QB Brett Favre? Selected but not playing, blaming an injury. Gecko-gloved Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald? Thanks but no thanks: injured also. While the Pro Bowl managed to sell out Dolphins Stadium, the game usually pulls down mediocre TV ratings; it's the only major all-star game that draws lower ratings than regular-season matchups. What gives...
