...country's grimy industrial trenches, the crunch is on. Kim Jong Gwan, manager of a factory west of Seoul, says he paid 74? per kilogram at the start of the year for the raw materials he uses to make plastic pipes. Today the price is $1.04. To keep costs down, the factory started using more recycled polyethylene pellets, but competitors are doing the same and the cost of recycled material has jumped 20% and will be up 40% by the end of the year.

A crew of superhero marionettes (the old-fashioned kind) faces off against wmd-hoarding, four-letter-wording North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. Some have already attacked the film for mocking the war on terrorism. But given the correctly impolitic attitudes of Parker and Stone, count on both left and right wings getting clipped. The trailer ballyhoos star names: "Alec Baldwin! ... Susan Sarandon! ... George W. Bush!" Then: "Are all going to hate...
