...adventures, 19 years since the most recent Indy movie, The Last Crusade, and 30 years this month since Lucas and Spielberg sat on a Hawaiian beach and made a handshake deal for an action film that one would produce and the other direct. They'd be stupid to ignore the toll that time takes on moviemakers and movie stars. All were in their 30s when they made Raiders. Now Spielberg, Lucas and Ford are, respectively, 61, 64 and 65. And don't forget two other crucial collaborators, composer John Williams and editor Michael Kahn, who have given all the Indy...

He put them all out there, and one just happened to become popular. Matt Haughey, the creator of Metafilter, said that “If [there’s] a problem, someone’s gonna want to solve it.” Ben Huh, the owner...
...lead role of Curly in his middle school production of “Oklahoma!” While Hill’s father grew up on Rodgers and Hammerstein, his mother was less enthused about musical theater. “My mother hated musicals. She thought they were stupid,” Hill says. “It wasn’t until she had children that she started liking musicals.” Starting in high school, Hill became serious about musical theater. Under the guidance of James Thornton, the chair of the Shaker Heights High School?...
