...TRADE, MONKEY II At Super Bowl 2000, in the glory year of the dotcom ads, the online trader proudly blew $2 million on a spot featuring a dancing monkey. At Super Bowl 2001, the monkey rode through a ghost town littered with the graves of Tieclasp.com, Pimentoloaf.com"--and the lifeless body of a familiar-looking sock puppet. At least the Internet boom could laugh at its own funeral...
...other three major players aren’t quite up to par. Pidgeon, though she delivers a serviceable performance, is simply too lifeless to be an integral part of the plot. Her role in the film is more decorative than anything else. Even less pronounced is Rockwell’s performance. His character is supposed to be an adequate counterweight to Hackman, a charismatic young man who makes up in energy and strength what he lacks in wisdom and experience. Rockwell, meanwhile, gets completely overshadowed by Hackman and is unable to project any kind of personality. Finally, DeVito...
...world is the Thai island of Koh Pha-Ngan. Evidence of the crushing weight of the 10,000 people who dance each full moon away lies a few yards offshore from the Hadrin Beach party zone.

The medics put him on a gurney and took him down in an elevator four floors to Trauma Room 9, continuing CPR all the way. As doctors, nurses, aides and technicians hunched over the lifeless boy, nurse Dawn Colbert inserted an IV into his arm and began a rapid infusion of O-negative blood, the universal-donor type. Within 15 minutes, Colbert pumped nearly 1.5 liters of warmed blood into Jessie, about half the normal volume for an 80-lb. boy. Jessie began to bleed...
...impact of the tin mines is visible in the lifeless green pools that dot the landscape. The impact of the migration is visible on a rutted, auburn-hued dirt track outside Pangkal Pinang, where Cung A Siuk lives. There are a handful of houses out here. Cung says there used to be fewer. There is no news, either. She's never heard of the persecution of Chinese people in Java and Sumatra. John, the photographer, and I are the first white people she has ever seen, and she's 73 years old. "If I were scared," she says, "I would...
