...strangely appropriate that the show's title is slightly different from the title of Eliot's poem, "The Hollow Men"; this show is Eliot, distinctly skewed. The words of "The Hollow Men" are only the starting point for "The Hollowmen," a loud, extravagant, psychedelic play that feels very much like a live music video...
After a short stint at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Gwyneth rushed into film work. In the 1991 Shout, she escorted John Travolta through his fallow period, and she played Peter Pan's young Wendy in the hollow that was Hook. She got a break at 19 when she was cast as the evil Ginnie (she steals jewelry from corpses) in Steve Kloves' Flesh and Bone.

When the candidates discuss "issues," the issues they discuss are marginal to the true concerns of the public. America desires an improved quality of life that it cannot have while being daily inundated with the absurd "infotainment" thrust into its citizens' homes. Children grow up literally addicted to television and to the self-debasing consumerism fostered...
