...respectful of Hong Kong film tradition, as the veteran actors he has assembled. The film merrily flouts the laws of time and physics. Teeth fly upward in slo-mo; then a Road Runner--style chase zips by in superspeedy-mo. The Pig Sty denizens have the resilience of Warner Bros. cartoon characters: lips, throats, bosoms expand to gargantuan size, then snap back. Punctuating the mayhem are sound effects (mooing, clucking, cat mewls, toad croaks) worthy of a Spike Jones symphony...
With Negroponte's confirmation hearings scheduled for this week, Pentagon defenders say that Cambone's office is required to have a charter and that it is doing some streamlining to help the DNI. "I think it's wise," Senate Armed Services Committee chairman John Warner says of the charter. "That's not going to limit [Negroponte] if he wants to call someone else" at one of the Pentagon's many intel shops...
...motives behind the backstage banter aren't unmixed: the directors are giving fans what they want, and they're also engaging in subtle, studio-sanctioned advance marketing.

Even so, the idea of a meaningful split emerging...
...been simmering much longer. It is a war with strange allies and enemies: it pits free-market conservatives against family-values conservatives, free-speech liberals against Big Government liberals, and a normally pro-business Congress and White House against megacorporations. (Among them is TIME's parent company, Time Warner, which owns a major cable business, the WB broadcast network and several cable channels, including HBO and TNT.) A war that has TV programmers scrambling for cover--or at least pixelation--and has led Howard Stern to decamp from his broadcast-radio shock show for a satellite-radio gig in January...
