...industry has been lacking—excellence. In fact, the big studios have been giving us just about everything but excellence. “Snakes on a Plane,” anyone? Despite slightly better box office results this summer compared to last, movieland is still shaky territory. With quick big-screen-to-DVD turnaround, in-home theater options and technologies—On Demand got me through three grueling summer months in the Colorado suburbs—and higher-than-average ticket prices, Americans have fewer reasons than ever before to jump in the old sedan and gawk...
...could make things happen, but declined to speculate on the Katrina aftermath.

"When you make an audience laugh they love you, they really do love you," he has said, in what seems to be a dead-serious, Sally Field fashion, "and that's one of the nicest things about being a comedian." Pre-Python, Idle contributed a Beatles parody song, "I Want to Hold Your Handle," to the radio...
