...realizes that something is different about this production immediately upon walking into the theater space. The first play, Bernard Shaw's The Great Catherine, suposedly takes place in 1776 St. Petersburg. However, surveying the neo-60's psychedelic murals that surround the stage one could have easily mistake the set for a Bangles sound-stage. For obvious reasons, the wall-size mural of a wizarded-out Mickey Mouse on a flying broom simply does not cut it as a Russian landscape...
...Manhattan. Bus service also meant that the town's two florist shops could count on daily deliveries of fresh flowers. And repair shops could often get same-day emergency shipments of spare parts. Although the town's cooperative grain elevator still has access to a working railroad spur, weeds surround the tracks. Reason: the Kyle railroad has added a $750- per-car surcharge to the standard rate, forcing the cooperative to haul its grain 17 miles by truck to a main railroad line...
...these snazzy features do have a practical application, however. When Yamaha introduced the DX7 model in 1983, its computer memory was capable of retaining and playing back prerecorded background accompaniment. The keyboardist, supported by a simple drum machine or sequencer, could surround himself with sound.

Firmly anchoring the film is Robert Duvall's moving performance as the wry, philosophical ex-lawman Augustus McCrae. Tommy Lee Jones provides stern counterpoint as McCrae's partner, Woodrow F. Call. Dozens of finely etched characters surround them: a roguish ex-Ranger turned gambler (Robert Urich); a prostitute looking for escape (Diane Lane); a wimpy sheriff (Chris Cooper) searching for his runaway wife; and a lost love (Anjelica Huston) whom McCrae locates on the plains of Nebraska. Not to mention sadistic outlaws, vicious Indians and other disasters...
...Surround that with--yes, it's true--pickle relish, yellow mustard, a few chopped raw onions, a slice of tomato, a deli-style pickle and some nice burning jalapeno peppers, and you've got your dog. Chicago Frank's offers the dog for only $2.25, and if you use the $1 off coupons being distributed, that works out to the same price as five pinball games (for those of you figuring out opportunity costs). Also included are a handful of fries, hand-cut on the premises with the skin still on the ends, that make a mockery of the frozen...
