...Like Coraline, 9 opens with a creepy sewing scene as the mad and soon-to-be-dead scientist puts the finishing touches on Number 9, the last of his creations. The dolls are distinguishable by the numbers stamped on their backs and the various notions that adorn them. Wise Number 2 (voiced by Martin Landau) laces up like a corset. Number 5 (John C. Reilly), who is cuddly, sweet and needs ego-boosting, is missing an eye and wears a lone button on his chest, kind of like Don Freeman's beloved bear Corduroy. Number 6 is loopy, creative...
...Moore says, "I refuse to live in a country like this - and I'm not leaving." But this call to arms demands more than a ringleader; it requires a ring, an engaged citizenry who are mad enough not to take it any more. That's unlikely to happen.

I had so many confrontations in my youth with girls that became disasters because nobody had the skills to express difficult emotions and have a difficult conversation. It was actually only as I got older that I realized...
...Merkel's biggest headache may come from Opel's workers, who are fighting mad over nine months of discussions that have produced little but more uncertainty about their jobs. "We have run out of patience," Klaus Franz, Opel's works council chief, said this week. "We have been calm so far, listened diligently and made comments, but that is over now. If nothing changes from General Motors' side by the end of this week, then we will be active, and there will definitely be spectacular measures from...
