...only problem is that it turns out that she wasn't bad, just interpreted that way. Mary Magdalene (her name refers to Magdala, a city in Galilee) first appears in the Gospel of Luke as one of several apparently wealthy women Jesus cures of possession (seven demons are cast from her), who join him and the Apostles and "provided for them out of their means." Her name does not come up again until the Crucifixion, which she and other women witness from the foot of the Cross, the male disciples having fled. On Easter Sunday morning, she visits Jesus' sepulcher...
...losses if the verdict doesn't go his way. (Spike Jones Jr., son of the famous bandleader, is taking TNN's side in the case.) But the madness did not stop there: there's a canine conspiracy at work. The dog Bruce Willis plays in Rugrats Go Wild? Spike. Luke Wilson's dog in Charlie's Angels Full Throttle? Also named Spike.

The movie, Bottle Rocket, was little seen by audiences but admired enough by the industry that the trio reteamed for the successively higher-budget and higher-profile films Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums...
...Luke, Owen and their eldest brother Andrew have all relocated to Los Angeles, although in coming months they will visit Texas to work on a film written by Luke that he will co-direct with Andrew. Luke will play the lead, a fast-talking huckster trying to go straight. But as close as the brothers are, Luke expresses some impatience about the frequency with which people ask about his relationship with his flashier brother Owen. "What can I say but I love the guy?" he says. "I hold him above me, as a writer and an actor." Then he adds...
