...cannot slap a desk, or Frank snap his surgical gloves, without the faithful's perfectly timed handclap. The portentous pauses in Rocky cry out for rude interpolations, so that the screen actors at times seem to be responding to directions from the audience. Before Frank can introduce his assistant Magenta, the crowd bleats, "What's your favorite color?" Before he mentions another character, Columbia, comes the question, "Where do you get your drugs?" When Frank asserts that "There's no crime in giving yourself over to pleasure," the New Yorkers respond, "There is in New Jersey!" The evening is raucous...
...quest for killer prints has taken developers in different directions. Epson's Stylus Photo R800 ($400; www.epson.com composes images using eight separate inks: the traditional cyan, magenta, yellow and black, plus a glossy black, a deeper red and blue, and a clear-gloss coating for white areas.

Note to certain seniors: years of consulting with your roommates on whether chartreuse clashes with magenta (and that’s just the guys) doesn’t make you a top-tier candidate. McKinsey, bring...
Film lovers will luxuriate in the extraordinary imagery: a sword point that slo-mo slices through drops of water; soldiers squatting in a circle, caked in clay; lovers curled into each other, sleeping under red silk; a sword fight in a grove of golden leaves that turn red, plum, magenta and fall like fat confetti. In the film's design, color creates context. Each story Nameless tells is draped in a different hue: gray, red, blue, white, green. (In the fifth episode, a lake shimmers like lime Jell-O.) At the end, reality forces a new color on Nameless: black...
...seem conspicuously absent from the local environment. The stripped-bare foliage continues to bear more than a passing resemblance to the set of the Blair Witch Project (preponderance of red brick aside); deluded optimists who insist on wearing flip-flops outside end up with toes a distinctive shade of magenta by sunset; and carb-loaded comfort foods still retain that elusive yet maddening X-factor which renders piping hot pad thai an easy choice over macrobiotic vegetables...
