The dollar and the documentarian

By Chris Wisner and compiled by Chris Wisner · Thursday, Sept. 30,2004 12 a.m.

I think it's safe to say that nowadays in America Michael Moore is a household name. From the early years of investigating questionable corporate behaviors, to the standing up for the little man era that was "The Awful Truth," and even an Academy Award-winning film on our nation's gun control policies, it was only a matter of time until Michael Moore found a truly opportunistic moment to lash out at the current presidency.

Ruining my life, anytime I want

By -Paul Straw · Thursday, Sept. 30,2004 12 a.m.

On-Demand television will ruin my life. For those of you who are unfamiliar with On-Demand TV, it is a service provided by digital cable that allows one to watch TV shows and movies anytime one wants. Not only that, but it can be paused, rewound and so forth. Typically, the On-Demand service is attached to premium channels' packages, in my case HBO and Starz.

'Dance' if you got the time

By Matt Waters and Matthew Waters · Thursday, Sept. 30,2004 12 a.m.

A midlife crisis usually consists of learning to dance, right? OK, that might not be so common. What is common though is for a midlife male to have an attraction to a younger female, or so pop culture says. This 2004 adaptation of "Shall We Dance?" has a very 1930s feel to it with a new twist.

By -Sam Johnston · Thursday, Sept. 30,2004 12 a.m.

Chevelle is back with its second major record label release, This Type of Thinking Could Do Us In. It seems that this time around, Chevelle's type of thinking hasn't really changed all that much, and that's a good thing.

By J.P. Benitez and JP Benitez · Thursday, Sept. 30,2004 12 a.m.

Ben Harper is one of those beautiful 20th century musicians who throughout his career has been walking hand-in-hand with his influences -- it's always a battle to find the right proportions of Kravitz, Dylan, Motown or anyone else in the rhythms.

Sellout crowds are a thing normally reserved for boy bands, presidential visits and Star Wars premieres. But All Sorts of Trouble for the Boy in the Bubble, back again this year to keep people in stitches, will be performing at the Bloomington Playwrights Project every other Saturday for $5 a head. And don't plan on coming in the door at the last minute because the first show of the year last Saturday was completely packed.
