...largest seafood chain in North America, says that less than 1% of what it spends on seafood goes for swordfish, but that's a lot, since the company serves 150 million meals a year in its 685 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada. While Red Lobster spokesman Rick Van Warner insists that "we consider ourselves stewards of the environment rather than users," the company has no immediate plans to take swordfish off the menu...
...only one week among the 10 top-grossing films, will struggle to earn $20 million at the domestic box office. Though it could do better internationally, the film seems likely to rank as one of this market's costliest flops ever. It caps a miserable year for its studio, Warner Bros., which, according to Variety, dropped from second to fourth in market share and, thanks to other underachievers like Mad City and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, averaged the lowest gross per film of the six major studios. The trade and business press have slammed longtime...

In formulating its post-Seinfeld strategy, NBC will have to take into account all these demands, as well as the other scheduling dilemmas caused...
...mass audience has paid scant attention to films about the Irish Troubles, but this one may find friends precisely because it renounces political nuance for emotional bullying and old Hollywood-style blarney. The movie's forebears are '30s Warner Bros. melodramas like Kid Galahad (a fighter and his trainer KO the crooks) and Angels with Dirty Faces (the Dead End Kids learn who's the real tough guy). The Boxer could even be a Going My Way without priests--it's that hokey...
