...looking ahead to next year, the big news in the literature-to-film-genre will be the movie translation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, which began filming last month. Spread out over more than a thousand pages in three volumes, the book is notoriously difficult to film, the last attempt being Ralph Bakshi's horrid 1978 cartoon. How will director Peter Jackson satisfy the book's millions of fans? The fact is, he won't. But perhaps he can at least satisfy himself, and give the world an excellent version of one person's view...
...parents are so concerned that they recently fell on their knees and prayed, "Good Lord, show us something." Their answer came in the mail. The Navy sent a letter saying Bobby had failed his physical; urine tests detected marijuana. Bobby wanted the test kept secret, but Coach Ice found out anyway. Ice tried to talk to him, and Bobby walked out. When he went back to apologize yesterday, the coach shut the door, telling him he knew and reminding him that the team depends on him as a leader.

Mariah Carey desperately needs a) clothes b) new songwriters and c) a good five year vacation because lord knows, we're all sick of her. When she burst onto the scene with shrilly bubblegum pop and the trademark range, everyone figured she'd last one year, maybe two. Sure, the songs were catchy (but so were Ace of Base's and look how long they stuck around). But for some reason--even the experts can't explain this one-- she's still making albums. And people buy them! Why??! Every song is the same! Every album is the same! They...
