Which brings us to Super Bowl Sunday. We are sitting in a skybox high up in the Superdome, complete with wet bar, kitchen, waiters and big TV screens to watch the instant replays of what we've just seen with our own naked, pitiful, nondigital eyes...
...ROMS to play games and hear music. Teenagers flock to online services not only to ``chat'' but also to reach primary schoolwork sources, such as images of original works of art, documents prepared by experts, even possible exchanges of E-mail with the experts themselves.

Lest doubts linger, his films provide instant replays from different angles. Under the closing credits are outtakes showing blown stunts, with comic or near tragic results. Executing a fairly routine jump in Yugoslavia for The Armour of God, he missed a tree branch, hit his head on a rock and almost died. Chan has a memento of the accident: a thimble-size hole...
