...Josh Tyrangiel sat down in Cannes with a very loose George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and series newcomer Ellen Barkin-in her first film role in quite some time and, in case you forgot, kind of a live wire-to discuss politics, Al Pacino, the Pitt-Jolie paparazzi juggernaut, and their favorite leading men. And in Barkin's case, to exploit every possible opportunity for innuendo...
...care for horror movies, especially the currently endemic teen-slasher variety. But I saw William Friedkin's movie many months ago and it has haunted me ever since. For reasons best known to the addled-geniuses of movie marketing, it's being thrown against the Pirates of the Caribbean juggernaut next weekend, which probably is a result of a lot of people going "yetch" when they saw it.

Fuller's aim is much more ambitious than making Idol a fund-raising juggernaut. He wants to launch a whole new TV genre, using America's most popular show as his springboard.

...Russia’s use of economic leverage to pursue nationalistic aims is rendered bolder by its cooperation with the real driving force of the economic interest/cultural identity juggernaut: China. Gone are the days of Sino-Russian conflicts over their 1000-mile border. Russia’s arms industry has been brought back to life by Chinese purchases, and China is an ever-growing customer for Russia’s natural resources. As a Security Council tandem, Russia and China can resist Western pressure on all but the most uncontroversial issues. For instance, what serious prospect is there for Security...
