...interest in your community. And we have something to create interest, and that creates an inflow of people, and that creates dollars, and that's what we're all about." He hands a visitor a lapel pin emblazoned with the legend ROSWELL 1947 and the image of a smiling spaceman waving from a flaming UFO shaped like a Stetson hat--a unique spin on an event that, if it actually occurred, was surely one of the most momentous in history; no one would argue that it doesn't trump lizard races. And so the town is gearing up, not entirely...
Like Buzz Lightyear, the gung-ho plastic spaceman in Toy Story who thought he was real, investors in Pixar Animation Studios have learned that reality bites. Pulled down by the collapsing, technology-driven NASDAQ market, Pixar stock fell 5.7% last week, to close at $16.50, light-years from its November high of $49.50, signaling that the almost cartoonish rush of IPO investing is finished...

Sometimes (as in Sorry's Not Enough") the results are equally commonplace, WFNX fodder whose riffs are" memorable" only is some minimal, involuntary sense...
...bourgeois German household has been banished in favor of an American apartment decorated in 1960s high tacky. The Stahlbaum children get a giant Barbie doll and a spaceman at their family Christmas Eve party. The guests are dressed in the worst excesses of a quarter-century ago, and before long they are drunk and lubricious. Postmodern choreographer Mark Morris, never at a loss for a flip word or gesture, insists that his take on the Tchaikovsky classic is not a send-up, but that is exactly what it is -- rude, boisterous and more than a little, well, nutty...
