...they've gotten off on a floor the Dow hasn't seen since Sept. 5 and the NASDAQ since Aug. 7. Expect some profit-taking Thursday, for starters. And Friday, the Wall Street that may be starting to take consumer spending for granted will have to endure another (likely garish) rise in the unemployment rate for November - a number which, despite its irrelevance to actual economic progress, can scare the heck out of consumers and has sparked one or two Friday panic-sells in its time.

This haphazard addition has clearly been an unthoughtful juxtaposition to this otherwise palatial facility...

Such theaters epitomize the elegance of the films of the past, and emphasize the poor quality of modern film. In that respect, today’s garish theaters are perfect dumping grounds for the latest Hollywood garbage. This past summer produced the worst selection of films ever projected on a screen, yet box office receipts broke monetary records anyway...
