...house without me really knowing what's going on. My daughter doesn't have a PlayStation at the moment. She is desperate for one. Particularly with younger children, I don't like the idea that they're going to be blowing people up, these little humanoids on the screen, with no thought of what this really means. And doing that for points. I think there is a vast difference between that and seeing a character you care about dying in a book, experiencing those emotions, working through things that we all have to face at some point...
...made in 1966, Ono invited friends to drop their pants and walk in place while she filmed the piston motions of their bare behinds. On the soundtrack you hear their nervous chatter as the rear ends--plump or scrawny, smooth or furry--rise and dip and bunch up on-screen. The point that we're all human has been made before, but not usually with tongue so literally in cheek. Four years later, she made Fly, in which, for 25 minutes, what appears to be a single housefly (actually there were several) is photographed at close range navigating the body...
...different is that it offers enough stylish touches to make what few functions it delivers feel like luxury. Not only can you type e-mail on its petite, wireless keyboard, but you can also send a voice message or scribble a note directly on its 8-in., touch-sensitive screen using the glowing Plexiglas stylus. A blinking green light alerts you to new e-mail even when Audrey is turned off. To get the news, you simply turn a knob in front to flip through any of nine "channels" featuring customized Web content from sites such as ABCNews, ESPN...
...pluses, Audrey also has its flaws. The touch screen can be flaky and unresponsive; there's no spelling checker in e-mail; and Web browsing is diminished without such popular plug-ins as Windows Media Player, QuickTime and Shockwave. Call me cheap, but the $499 price tag seems about twice what Audrey is worth. The device works with such popular ISPs as Earthlink, Prodigy and AT&T but not with the biggest: America Online. That may be because AOL (which still plans to merge with TIME's parent company, Time Warner) is releasing its own appliance, built by Gateway, before...
Before his clothing line folded in 1998, fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi starred in Unzipped, the documentary that took his high energy to the screen. Now he has moved it to the stage in a half-sung, half-spoken one-man show off-Broadway. Mizrahi's chief subject is his own glorious past, and he walks a fine line between charm and pathos when he brings out his first sewing machine and warbles about his need for attention His voice won't win any Tony Awards, but the show entertains because of the winning fussiness that made him a fashion legend...
