...understand Mann's place in the pop universe, imagine, if you would, crossing Kurt Cobain with Emily Dickinson. Their offspring--literate, bitingly introspective, deeply contemptuous of money and fame--would be a lot like Aimee Mann. Because of hard luck and an incurable case of artistic independence, the gifted Los Angeles folk-pop soloist has been left untouched by the wave of acclaim that buoyed Jewel, Tori Amos and the Lilith crowd...

The Rest: Giants 2 1/2 EAGLES FALCONS 2 Panthers Bills 3 1/2 RAVENS Jaguars 12 1/2 BENGALS COLTS 3 Cowboys SAINTS 9 1/2 Browns REDSKINS...
Breakfast of Champions is none of these books. The movie was doomed from the beginning. This ill-conceived, ill-fated and horrendously-executed adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s cult classic novel of the same name follows the fleeting sanity of Dwayne Hoover (Bruce Willis), the owner of a used-car dealership and the most popular guy in Midland City. The film also follows Kilgore Trout (Albert Finney), a slightly kooky science-fiction writer on his way to Midland City to attend the town's Fine Arts Festival as the guest of honor. When the divergent paths of these...
