...Washington, the Pentagon was evacuated after another commercial airline crashed into the building. A short time later, part of the building collapsed. A fire was also reported on the Mall. The White House, the Capitol and other government buildings were also evacuated, and Washington became a ghost town. If the terrorists sought to undermine the conduct of government, they succeeded at least for the day. They may not, however, have hit all of their targets: Wednesday afternoon, White House officials reported that both the White House and Air Force One were targets of the terrorist attacks; officials speculate the plane...
...decade or so, he was just a bright face in the directorial crowd. He was brought in to save other men's movies, as in the hyper-violent The Big Heat, about a cop with projectile dysfunction (he can't fire his gun). To helmed sequels (Happy Ghost 3, Casino Raiders 2) and launched franchises (the Moment of Romance trilogy). Then three lucky things happened: he founded Milkyway to be in control of his films; he hooked up with Wai; and nearly all the big action directors left for the U.S. In this vacuum, To's cramped, gritty melodramas shone...
...From Hell," the second underground-comix-originated movie in one year (after "Ghost World") comes out in October. Based on Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's deeply creepy Jack-the-Ripper series of the same title, it stars Johnny Depp and Heather Graham.

Meanwhile the original authors are coming out with another single-issue comic, "Snakes and Ladders," self-published by Campbell in September. Apparently it involves Oliver Cromwell and the pre-Raphaelites and the history of the universe...
Likewise Dan Clowes hasn't been heard from since he started working on the "Ghost World" movie, based on his own comic and now an indy hit. "Eightball" #22 (September) contains all-new, vaguely inter-related stories of one to three pages that will be completely self-contained. Clowes' slightly surreal, mordantly funny stories read like devastating critiques of America's mainstream and fringe cultures. They are not to be missed...
...movies, and Abrahams regressed to unnecessary punctuation with the Hot Shots! flicks. Jerry, for his part, decided it was time to put the spoofs behind him. "I got tired of satire," he says. "It was fun, but I didn't feel like doing it again." So he directed Ghost, the hit 1990 supernatural romance that won Goldberg an Oscar, as well as First Knight, the dud 1995 Arthurian epic starring Sean Connery and Richard Gere. He also produced 1997's My Best Friend's Wedding, but not until Rat Race did he get back behind the camera to make another...
