...Then again, that just could be the boxed wine talking. There's nothing as sexy as a tease and Gore probably knows that his dance of the seven veils does more to heighten the movie's profile than the movie could ever do for his. It's about global warming, for goodness' sakes. A significant portion of its visual content consists of charts. It's the concert video only Al Gore could be the star of. Gore's groupies in the Geographic rotunda responded to him in the way high school students greet a returning alum who has surpassed expectations...

For the uninitiated, proper tequila is the liquor of the blue agave plant, which, contrary to popular belief, is not a cactus but a lily (and strictly speaking, spirits made from other kinds of agave are not tequila at all, but mezcal).

Rando festoons John Lee Beatty's balconied set with streamers, packs the stage with sight gags...
...headquartered company knows what it is talking about; it welcomed its 2 billionth visitor last week. And it is no stranger to tempestuous beginnings at an international park, at times caused by imposing a very American sensibility on foreign guests. When Disneyland Paris opened in 1992, Disney famously banned wine from park restaurants, much to the dismay of European bons vivants. In Hong Kong, Disney went out of its way to tailor the park to local tastes. Its "imagineers" installed Main Street's first Chinese eatery, along with Fantasy Gardens where Mickey Mouse, local favorite Mulan and other Disney characters...
