...spin this sweet fantasy out into a 2½-hr., four-language epic. Receiving its world premiere on May 20 at the Cannes Film Festival, Inglourious Basterds - first word as in "glower," second as in "turds" - is an alternative history of World War II from the writer-director of Pulp Fiction, the Palme d'Or winner 15 years ago. As with all of his recent work - the two Kill Bill movies and Death Proof - Basterds draws portraits of strong women facing down evil men; and in Shoshanna (Mélanie Laurent) and Third Reich screen star Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane...

...while “Advanced Paper DISPLAY” ran across the screen and the Kindle displayed a grayscale picture of a woman who didn’t look quite human. After millions of dollars and years of research, the Kindle is an almost-believable approximation of tree pulp. Of course, one of the immediate implications of something like the Kindle is that it is comparatively tree-friendlier than books. You might even be able to consider the Kindle as Green Technology—if you ignore the environmental costs of manufacturing it as well as the quality of life...
