...crime was sensational, the kind that local TV-news operations salivate over. A 14-year-old boy had shot himself to death in a parked car beside a freeway moments after killing his mother in their suburban Minneapolis home. Like every other station in the Twin Cities, WCCO-TV gave the story prominent play on its early-evening newscast. But, astonishingly, the station showed none of the gruesome footage that was available -- a shot of the boy slumped in his car, another of his mother's covered body being carried from their home. Instead the story was told...
...Robbins (Billy Crystal, who co-wrote the script with Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel) and Phil Berquist (Daniel Stern) to head West again. Especially since Jack Palance's Curly, their comically tough mentor, was killed off three years ago.

If so, it could, like other neutron stars, be spewing out twin beams of fast-moving particles. The particles, slamming into the hourglass- shape gas cloud, could have created rings that glowed more brightly after the more recent supernova went...
Some of these projects will surely end up in development hell (or at least development limbo). Others will be made only to receive the who-cares / reception that greeted The Gong Show Movie, The Nude Bomb (from Get Smart), Boris and Natasha (from Rocky and his Friends), Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me and this year's Car 54, Where Are You? But enough of these tele-visions will emulate the smash status of last year's The Fugitive or at least achieve the same modest earnings as The Beverly Hillbillies to give Hollywood what it wants most: a solid...
