...film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But Spamalot--scheduled to open on Broadway in March--could give the tired old genre a happy jolt. The movie, after all, seems a challenge from the get-go: an unwieldy hodgepodge of slapstick, splatter film, absurdism and animation, not to mention a grubby, mud-caked re-creation of medieval England. This is material for a Broadway musical...
...expect some tension between a candidate and those who view him as a potential “spoiler” in an important election. But the kind of unimaginative and disrespectful proselytizing of the LaRouche supporters in question or the openly combative College Dems—not to mention Nader’s unimpressive and angry sensitivity to such taunting—is frustrating.

It’s fine that Angelina Jolie’s fish in Shark Tale is explicitly presented as a gold-digging, sexually charged vixen, but Hollywood fears that the mere mention of, say, Lenny the shark liking boy sharks would send parents into a popcorn-throwing outrage...

...Angeles International Airport is not my favorite place. I’ve lost more luggage there than I care to mention, it is devoid of skylights that might help travelers’ body clocks travel over the Pacific a little faster and it has peculiarly bad food—worse than a number of regional airports in decidedly poorer countries. It is the sort of place where you just want to listen to music and make your few hours of layover pass as quickly as possible...
