...supposed to be a recipe for minting money. Yet Surrogates, with Willis in a dual role as a futurist FBI agent and his platinum-blond servo, fizzled, while the 3-D animated feature Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs sizzled. The Sony cartoon pulled in $24.6 million to win the box-office weekend, according to early official studio estimates. Other segments of the potential audience may have renounced moviegoing - attending to more manly pursuits like watching football games and begging God's forgiveness - but moms and their kids went, or went back, to the CGI fable about meteorological cuisine. Meatballs...
Surrogates, which industry handicappers had touted to win the weekend with a gross in the $20 million-plus range, just didn't have the legs to beat the spread. The new movie's intriguing premise - of a world in which people stay at home while their lifelike robots do all the work - virtually told audiences that this was one to catch, if at all, on DVD.

...Barring anything unforeseen, Bing will win re-election handily. Detroiters may not love him - "So he's a big multimillionaire," says Gregory. "He's moving to our city to help clean it up. Who asked you to do that?" - but there really are no other viable alternatives. "I've been successful in two careers, financially secure," says Bing. "Trying to help turn this city around was more important than having the good life." He adds, "Folks in government and the city had this entitlement attitude that says, 'It's always been this way. It's always going to be this...
...handed use of clubs, tear gas and mass arrests, Zelaya still argues, "We came here for dialogue and they answer us with war. Since the coup this has become a violently repressive regime." Micheletti supporters, however, suggest that's part of Zelaya's strategy. The only way he can win, they say, is if his demonstrators can prevent the country's Nov. 29 presidential election from taking place, or provoke security forces into atrocities that would force the U.S. or the U.N. to intervene more forcefully...
