...63rd consecutive day that they seem to be in the midst of a dry spell. Once, on a tour bus in France, I sat next to a very old Japanese man whose English was entirely limited to the discussion of pleasant weather. Periodically he pointed to the sky and said, earnestly, "It's fine." He was a nice man, but I have to admit it was an extremely boring conversation...
Even more promising is Cleopatra 2525, from Rob Tapert and R.J. Stewart, the co-creators of Xena, which still outdraws all these other shows, including V.I.P. and Baywatch.

Attractive young actors and actresses parade in front of the screen playing idealistic intellectual types who associate smoking their choice of cigarettes with the ideal that "one person can change the world," and the desire to "see all the stars in the sky at the same time." But I suspect the phrase in the flyer hinted at something all the more corrupt because it is more sincere. It hinted at the idea to which philosophers like Nietzsche and writers like Hesse have accustomed us; that intensity of experience is all that is the point...
