...Only four will be available this week--Serenity, Million Dollar Baby, The Phantom of the Opera and The Last Samurai. But three big Hollywood studios are planning to rush out more HD DVD titles in the next month or two10 from Paramount, 10 from Universal and 20 from Warner Bros. List prices range from $29 to $40; Amazon.com is charging as little as $20 for some titles. Netflix has said it will distribute every HD DVD title--and, when they become available, all Blu-ray titles--for rent immediately upon release...
...Avenue. First, he wrote a frank memo about the war on terrorism that was at odds with much of the Administration's public spin for the past several months. Then he alienated the one person, apart from Bush, on whom the Pentagon most relies for sustenance--Virginia Senator John Warner, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. A former Navy Secretary, Warner went to the Senate floor to complain that Rumsfeld had in effect ignored his request for an investigation into Lieut.

...Warner and Rumsfeld tried to patch things up later over sandwiches at Rumsfeld's office. But what's really eating Republicans isn't just Rumsfeld's manners; it's his war.

In his dustup with Warner, Rumsfeld went so far as to say it was Boykin who requested a Pentagon probe--perhaps so evangelicals wouldn't blame the Bush team for going after one of their own. Still, Boykin's days are numbered. "His job effectiveness is over," said retired Army General Barry McCaffrey...
...Flaming Lips At War with the Mystics (Warner Brothers) 4 Stars It’s been 23 years and 12 LPs since the formation of cult favorites the Flaming Lips, and they now beg the question: will they ever disband? They’ve survived the departure of countless musicians, the Death Cabesque threat of overexposure after a Beverly Hills 90210 cameo, and the ignominy of touring as second-fiddle to an up-and-coming Beck. Not to mention heavy drug use, which nearly resulted in the loss of drummer Steven Drozd’s hand. Surely much...
