...unsurprisingly, Fight Club and Double Jeopardy. But No. 10 was very unusual indeed. Not only had The Omega Code, by an unknown independent called Gener8Xion Entertainment, grossed $2.4 million in three days, but it had done so in a mere 304 theaters, yielding by far the highest dollars-per-screen figure in the Top 10. And the suits didn't know the half of it. The movie, it turns out, was funded by what the Hollywood Reporter's David Finnigan describes (fondly--he moonlights as a religion journalist) as "a little Christian cable channel most noted...
...York City--scrambling to find an apartment, deposited (temporarily) by her employer in what is, truth be told, a pretty crappy office. Inoffensive museum posters hang on the wall; the painted metal and laminate desk is bare of much but a Poland Spring bottle and a phone; a generic screen saver plays across the monitor of a generic PC. In the middle of an interview, her phone rings. And rings. She rises apologetically and answers it herself. "It's what I'm used to doing," she says...
...team has permeated popular culture more than the Yankees. "The Pride of the Yankees," "The Babe," "Bang the Drum Slowly" and "The Scout" all filled the silver screen with pinstripes, and "Damn Yankees" filled a Broadway marquee.

And what written line better sums up the passing of a generation than Paul Simon's "Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you."? Simon was bemoaning the loss of heroes in America...
...felt myself cringe as I watched an unproportionally busty female, Yoko, slowly peel off her skin tight shirt as she stood in the direct pathway of softly animated sunlight that happened to be emanating from her bedroom window. Her large round eyes stared at me through the television screen as she slowly began to strip, a process that was thwarted by the entrance of her younger, male friend, Lucha. As she scrambled to cover her massive breasts, which we note were each larger than her own head, she emitted a high-pitched giggle that was reminiscent of those four long...
...long before the actual appearance of the film; Princess Mononoke is that sort of movie. It was the highest grossing film in Japan when it was released in 1997 (to be replaced, tragically, by Titanic, and bootleg copies have been circulating though North America for years.) The big screen debut in America has been completely unlike that of any other foreign animated film; touting the voices of stars like Gilian Anderson, Claire Danes, Minnie Driver, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Billy Bob Thornton, Princess Mononoke is destined to be the break-though film for Japanimation in America...
