...only mayoral debate held in Los Angeles last month, but it was the most unusual. The five candidates cleared their schedules so they could take part, even though most of the 125 people who came to listen couldn't vote. For 2 1/2 hours the rivals argued nonstop about a variety of topics including what to do with the city's poorly managed garbage dump. And it was kind of interesting that two candidates showed up in western shirts, cowboy boots and hats...
...tell you that "things have changed." But it sure seems as if they haven't changed much. This summer's European scene looks like a collective musical flashback, packed with acts that have been around for decades. Dylan, now 60, has been on what seems like a nonstop tour in recent years. Perhaps he's still trying to redeem himself from his 1966 U.K. performances, when he was greeted with catcalls and boos. This year, his eight-country European swing will have a much warmer reception at stops that include the Roskilde, Montreux Jazz and Stimmen Festivals...
...Shrek's sidekick, a pest, a troublemaker, a nonstop talker, and he may just harbor secret dreams of pop stardom. Mostly, though, he represents the reality principle in the movie--hooves on the ground, big ears swivelingly alert for false and dangerous notes. His vocal characterization is supplied by Eddie Murphy, and it is fair to say that not since Robin Williams in Aladdin has an actor so deliciously appropriated a movie. Whether he's fending off the sudden amorous attentions of Fiona's dragon, proposing an evening of man-to-man conversation with Shrek--to be followed...
After an abortive mid-'90s stint in Hollywood helming two Jean-Claude Van Damme actioners, Tsui returned home for a rest and a good think. "I had been working nonstop for too long," he says. "You have to get away and get a fresh perspective." Now he's back, frenetic as ever. He has done a remake of Zu with a hot young cast (including Crouching Tiger star Zhang Ziyi). He also produced Hong Kong's big Easter hit, the live-action-plus-animation Master...
...meander through town, actually having arrived ahead of schedule, driving up and down the streets looking for some sign of life. I realize what a nonstop blast of movement, noise, conflict, talking, laughing, yelling, cell-phoning, honking and jackhammering I am subjected to during every single second of my current urban existence. I find myself on a quiet street, in a quiet town in a quiet part of the country during a quiet time of year. I stop the car in the middle of a main street, just to see if anything will happen. Sixty seconds - nothing. Two minutes - nothing...
