...Comic-Con International may be inaccurately named, being only 50% comics-related and not very international, it shouldn't be missed by comix enthusiasts. Its giant tent has enough going on under it for anybody to find something of interest. The very thing that aesthetes complain about, the wild mash-up of comic books with other products, becomes one of the strengths of the show. Comix become instantly re-contextualized as the pop-culture medium they always were. It's nice to climb down from the upper atmosphere once in a while and wallow around...
BERLIN LOVE PARADE 2003—For the fourteenth consecutive year, the celebration of techno music and wild partying took place in the center of Berlin, this year as the past seven around the Victory Lady in the area of Tiergarten. The parade was established in 1989, just four months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, as a demonstration for “freedom, love, unity and respect.” This year, as I waded through the beer and vodka bottles on the street and saw the people dancing and camped out around the Victory Lady?...
Vladimir Putin tries hard to convince the world that Russian business has changed since the wild '90s, when it was synonymous with dodgy privatization and contract killings. These days he wants to depict the Russian corporate world as dynamic, modern - and predictable.

...beautiful serious actor (or seriously beautiful one) paints a flummoxed smile on the faces of Depp's admirers. This is, after all, a film based on a Disney theme-park attraction--not a cool thrill machine like the Tower of Terror or a camp classic like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride but the staid Pirates of the Caribbean. For this project, Depp put aside the nutsy-greatsy auteurs of his past (Tim Burton, John Waters, Terry Gilliam, Jim Jarmusch) to team up with Gore Verbinski, a director whose prime artistic achievement is the masterminding of the Budweiser frog commercials...
...channel's losses if the verdict doesn't go his way. (Spike Jones Jr., son of the famous bandleader, is taking TNN's side in the case.) But the madness did not stop there: there's a canine conspiracy at work. The dog Bruce Willis plays in Rugrats Go Wild? Spike. Luke Wilson's dog in Charlie's Angels Full Throttle? Also named Spike. The dog in Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas? Spike three! Lee's legal team is gonna have a field day--although for some reason, none of this summer's movies feature dogs named Shelton...
