 Winding Down the Beijing Games
One can't be too surprised, though: Brundage is
the same leader of the IOC who opposed women in competition-considering
them worthless to any sport-and proposed that all team sports be
removed from the Summer Games, and that the Winter Games being
eradicated altogether.

 Preachers to the Culture
Wesley McKnight
If it's Sunday, you very likely have just come
home from church-after having listened to a minister or priest preach
for twenty to forty minutes. And even if you haven't, we
are all very familiar with preachers, who have long been expected to
effectively interpret both Scripture and their congregations.
But over the last thirty years, film audiences
increasingly demand a similar performance from the director's role in
the film industry. We equally expect them to interpret cultural values
and current trends-and the tastes of audiences.

Let's face it: the summer surprised us. Iron Man, The Hulk, and Batman were better than we expected them to be. As I write this, the verdict is still out on such funny flicks as Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express. But the fall holds more serious fare with less super genes, even if roles and actors will rise up as heroes for tomorrow.
November seems to be the early leader for entertainment and substance, with Harry and Bond traveling through Australia on the Road. But stranger things have happened. Who thought people would go to see Stepbrothers?
