...necessarily mean better movies," says Ichise. "This group was making terrifying stuff on a shoestring. The Asian horror-movie boom that everybody's talking about grew out of that scene." To make Ringu, Ichise cobbled together $1.4 million for Nakata, who was then scraping by on a small studio salary while living in a dingy Tokyo dorm room. Few shared Ichise's faith in the project. "Most of the stars I approached for the lead roles didn't want anything to do with horror," he recalls. The refuseniks are now kicking themselves while Nakata and Shimizu have migrated...
...making. That second kiss is too much for him. And I sat up in my seat and thought, 'That's a great movie moment.' Suddenly I knew how to make this film." Sixteen years later, that vision is finally reaching completion on the set at London's Pinewood Studios, where the ingenue, Christine, and her beloved Raoul are pledging their noisy passion on a make-believe rooftop of the Paris Opera. Fake snow swirls, and an orchestra assaults the eardrums. Amid the chaos, Schumacher appears relaxed, even louche, as he watches the action through his monitor. He's having...
...humid that Butler compares it to an enormous microwave. "I wear prosthetics on my face, which melt if it gets too hot," he says. "That takes five hours to put on, so if it gets too warm, the whole day stops and we start again."

Which is absolutely horrible, because as great as Eminem is, ODB was greater—wilder, looser, more natural and generally less packed with baggage. There’s some rot in Eminem, some ugly bitterness and insecurity that has not gone away despite his enormous popularity. He wasn’t cool in high school, in other words (see “Oh Foolish Pride” a.k.a...
...fierce roar he appropriated in the years since his last record has been largely replaced with a coy mumble, as if he’s sleeptalking his lines from a couch in the studio instead of spitting them passionately into a mic. Just like his harshest critics, he’s a bit bored with himself, and if the apologetic “Like Toy Soldiers” is any indication, the 32year old is starting to get embarrassed of his younger self. His recent interviews, in which he sounds reflective, somber and eerily father-like, seem to support this...
