Except for an uneasy turn as the caped japester in 1997's Batman and Robin, Clooney hadn't got closer to a $100 million movie than the fifth row of the Beverly Center 13. Crowe and Jackman, those Australian-bred hunks of smoldering beefcake, may be headliners in the making, but they're not made yet. As for the other two--well, their parents must be very proud...

Luxuriant red tile framed the self-serve soda-machine area, sliced through by a row of white squares with the swaying-palm logo that serves as a visual counterpoint to the chain's trademark yellow zigzag. Above the order counter, in yellow neon script, were the words "Quality you can taste." Framed posters dotted the walls; off to the right, a series of renderings of In-N-Out outlets from bygone eras in the colorful-blur style of that...
