Council members also voted 30-8, with one abstention, to accept Harvard Student Agencies’ (HSA) bid to be the council’s “official ring vendor,” and to sponsor the council’s movie nights next year. Council Vice President Michael R. Blickstead ’05, who led the ring negotiations, said that HSA’s bid—$6,500, with an additional $15 for each ring after the first 300—will likely be more lucrative for the council than The Coop?...
...lose weight, and I needed a job in the next 30 days or--all kidding aside--I'd have had to move in with my grandmother." Instead, he's college-trim and planning a chain of stores and low-carb cafes and vending machines that he believes will ring up $100 million in sales annually within five years...
Most horror movies live and gruesomely die in the moment: the splattered head or severed limb gives viewers a quick thrill or a giggle, a jolt to the nervous system, that lingers no longer than a shiver.

It's a rare instance of a Japanese director making a Hollywood film--an event that may fill Nakata with the anguish and wonder...
...fair to the moguls who passed on LOTR, none of the early movies suggested that Tolkien and Jackson (whose own genial burliness suggests a cross between Sam Gamgee and Boromir) would be a natural match. Indeed, longtime Jackson admirers kept waiting for the Ring cycle to spin off into Dead Alive delirium. That didn't happen. The old films could be anarchic; the trilogy had to be conservative. Jackson's duty, as he saw it, was to make a faithful translation of Middle-earth--a kind of transmedial cloning. His triumph was to oversee a production as mammoth...
