"Heat of the Moment" has been given the solo-piano treatment.) The live-action Underdog movie. The live-action He-Man and the Masters of the Universe movie. Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer trying to pretend that they're right about everything. An album of Yoko Ono remixes. Britney Spears lip-synching in clubs as the track skips.

You know, the 1980 film flop starring Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly, and the music of ELO. It's in previews right now and will open ...
