...matters. And those same kids have perhaps more veto power over vacation plans and weekend outings than ever before. Worse yet, there's probably a theme park right down the road with the same dark thoughts about its survival but with 10 times your advertising budget. Even your local multiplex is feeling a little sorry for itself, but it has millions of dollars worth of fresh Hollywood product cycling in every few weeks. "Theme parks and movies are leaving museums scrambling to keep up," says Lin Ezell, director of the National Museum of the Marine Corps. "Passive exhibits just aren...

...each singer--or, in Hilton's case, the person whose voice rises and falls rhythmically on the album--is known as much for her multiplatform celebrity as for her songs. All four women feel the need to tend to constituencies that may have wandered over from TV, the multiplex or the gossip-mag rack, and inevitably they usher their notoriety into their music. For those of us who like pop for pop's sake, the degree to which the albums succeed is entirely a function of how much the singers keep any mention of their fame--and the distance...

Snakes may cement Jackson's status as the multiplex's great populist--a title he has pursued for years. His early career, like those of most actors, was a series of frustrating absurdities. Jackson originated the role of Boy Willie in August Wilson's The Piano Lesson but was shunted to understudy when Charles S. Dutton became available. Jackson also spent two years as Bill Cosby's on-set stand-in for The Cosby Show. (He does a formidable Cos impression.) After Pulp Fiction made him famous in his mid-40s, Jackson settled into his current rhythm of mixing prestige...

...summertime and the living is vulgar over at the multiplex. Since Sandler is Click's producer, you have to believe that it is tailored entirely to his demands. So almost before you know it, the movie is offering the mother of all stupid - is there any other kind? - flatulence jokes. And bimbo jokes. And sexual performance jokes.

In short, the movie is all about pleasing...
