Redford's mother-henning is one come-on, the setting another. The morning sound and smell of creek water under a wooden footbridge, the afternoon light on lush summer grass, the green-walled canyons climbing the evening sky--anyone who can't draw creative inspiration from this place should probably be shooting weddings and bar mitzvahs. "It's like you're in a bubble," Plimpton says. "Nothing else exists when you're here." Not Hollywood, not Top 10 lists, not even makeup...
...subject of more than 40,000 Web pages and countless books, and his writings are studied throughout the world. But was he right? We'll soon see. In 1555 he made his most precise prediction, which can be translated as: "The year 1999, seven months, from the sky there will come the Great King of Terror to resuscitate the Great King of the Mongols."

The remedies? Stay out of the sun, for goodness' sake, drink plenty of water -- and pray for rain...
...Warrior were filmed. Imagine standing in the predawn darkness on the rim of a cliff, 300 ft. above the desert floor. There are purply black mesas before and behind you. Exactly above the center of the largest one, you see Venus, the Morning Star, burning in a deep violet sky. Nothing moves. No wind, no sound, only bitter cold. As the light begins to glow on the eastern horizon, you see an immense desert plain, flat as water--it is, in fact, the bed of an ancient inland sea. And it stretches without interruption, without a building or any other...
