...nation. I think Europe is in a transition, but I think it's a very important transition. I would say it's from being a peace project - which it still is - to being a model for a globalized society, a prototype for a globalized society. Europe began after the Second World War, so it basically was the dream to say: "Never again, war on this continent." And as a matter of fact, it has succeeded in bringing in countries, making them more democratic. Greece, Spain, Portugal initially, then the Central and Eastern European countries. It still is a living peace...
...next morning, Cassandra had come around. The idea of unplugging was good, she'd decided. It just had to be done without driving to parties, which, it turns out, is actually the way the Bible suggests. So I decided to tack on a second 24 hours. And other than a few urges to hit the computer to add a movie to my Netflix queue and find out if Switzerland uses the euro, I didn't miss it. Sure, it's a little boring to drive without texting, but I got to focus on driving really fast. And the day felt...

...polling, comparison of their movies with others in the same genre, bracketology and tea leaves. In other words, they guess. Sometimes they guess wrong. On the first Sunday of June last year, Warner Bros. announced that its new comedy The Hangover had taken in $43.3 million, which made it second to Pixar's animated feature Up, at $44.2 million. The final count showed that The Hangover had surged on Sunday to earn $1.6 million more than predicted, which made it that weekend's champ by $840,000. Why, then, do studios race to provide guesstimates when the weekend...
...acid test of a movie's popularity is its staying power. Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too? fell a precipitous 62.4% from its opening three days - the biggest second-weekend drop since Valentine's fell 70.4%. Perry's fan base is avid but limited; nearly everyone who wants to see his films sees them the instant they hit the theaters. Other movies keep soaring on good word of mouth. How to Train Your Dragon opened two weeks ago at $43.7 million, on the weak side for a DreamWorks 3-D animated feature. But it fell only...
