And now, a review of the trailers I saw tonight prior to a screening of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby. Wish You Were Here: This Australian mystery/thriller seems to revolve around two identically scruffy-looking numbskulls, one of whom disappears while on Holiday. At first this makes his girlfriend and the other …
1. Imagine you are having dinner with Abraham Lincoln. You have the ability to warn him in advance that he is going to die, but it might result in the North losing the Civil War if he lives. Do you think you could get him to admit he was gay? …
LA CORNE DU COCU, a full-service upscale Franco-Andorran bistrot actively traded on NASDAQ, is seeking clean, energetic, full-time servers who are unlikely to complain about sexual harassment.

The longer the seemingly intractable confrontation over what is euphemistically termed “gun rights” in America drags on in these bloodied days, the more it becomes clear that what is really in play is the classic American dichotomy of Libertarian vs. Prohibitionist. The rhetoric coming from both sides, from gun-control liberals …
Another May Day come and gone and the foundations crumble just a little more. What has the working class won since we last celebrated the busman`s holiday? What gains has it made, what victories has it won beyond the daily fight to stay alive and toil another day? Even the latter, …
We were our century’s cowboys; explorers of inner space, the last adventurers. We charted the only empty terrain left under heaven or on earth. We were the superstars in a world without borders, and yet to look at us today, you’d think we were nothing more than criminals. With legalization …
ATLANTIS. First of all, it’s Atlantis. Not Atlantis City. The minute you guys open your mouths and say “Atlantis City”, we know you’re just some fish-gilled, gawking tourist from Lemuria or something. Second, we don’t have gambling here.

It looks like the Russians let us down again. Of course, it was the bloody Russians letting us down in the first place that put the four of us here, in a second-rate room in a Hyatt Regency that disgraces the words “Hyatt” and “regency”. It was because they couldn’t …
