...facto professor. Not entirely happy with his direction of Singles in 1992, Crowe took a break and began studying the work of other filmmakers. Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, he says, taught him how to make his gonzo structure hold together. Like Brooks, Crowe resists traditional screenplay rules, instead laying out his scenes like chapters or tracks on an album...
Whereas the boxed set offers more of Hendrix, Showtime's movie serves up less. It doesn't use any music that Hendrix wrote, leaving the filmmakers free of his family's creative control. Instead we hear Hendrix-sortasoundalikes playing his most famous covers, including a couple of Bob Dylan songs. But the problem with the movie isn't the fact that it's missing Hendrix's original songs; it's the fact that it's missing his original originality.

Malda has taken the idea of what news was, hacked it open and rebuilt it for the Internet age. Slashdot's secret weapon is the collaborative power of the Web.

...presidential debates are looming, and in the Bush and Gore camps the already frenzied preparations have reached a fever pitch.

...weeks remaining until the first meeting on October 3 in Boston - the only debate to follow the conventional structure - Bush may be feeling a bit of trepidation. This is not his preferred format; the governor's campaign staff pushed hard for a lineup restricted to more "free-flowing" exchanges. Instead, Bush will have to get through one tough evening before relief hits. Gore is widely considered the favorite in the first debate; the vice president's formal manner and encyclopedic grasp of complicated issues are well suited to the ultra-structured format. He'll also get a nice assist from...
