Could one of the three get sandbox envy? That seems unlikely, since they revel in one another's company--kids finally in control of a $2 billion game. For decades they have played, potently, under other men's aegises. Spielberg had Sheinberg and Ross, Geffen had Ross, Katzenberg worked under Eisner for 19 years, until their rancorous divorce last summer after Eisner refused to name Katzenberg his second in command. Now the lads must come of age--be ready to play daddy, not dutiful son, and do their own mentoring. The bet here is yes. Katzenberg was a paternal nudge...
...grandmother always taught me not to revel in the miseries of others, but I simply can't help myself.

The rest of the show revels in bad taste, spitball humor and abolition of the Fairness Doctrine; it's radio freedom with a vengeance. (His show last Wednesday claimed that Gingrich earned his college degree from the "Close Cover Before Striking University of Armpit, Georgia.") "The news isn't sacred to me," Imus gruffs...
...pacan to the misery of battle. Corpses strewn across the fields in a violent fashion are a gruesome testament to the brutal pain before us. Branagh plays up the ambiguity--he lets us recognize the real feelings and the victims of war, while at the same time Henry can revel in his new found glory. It is a moment in the film where the complex relation between dishonor and honor meet upon the film. We fell admiration, pity and horror as we look upon the failings of man, and the failings and triumphs...
