SYDNEY, Australia - A movie fan had his nose bitten off outside an Australian cinema in an argument over the quality of the violent new Bruce Willis movie "Sin City," police said.

As news of Pope John Paul II's death dominated the weekend, moviegoers appear to have vindicated recent accusations that America is plagued by what religious radicals call a death culture—a charge lobbed by President George W. Bush in the wake of the Terry Schiavo case—by flocking to the ultra-violent Sin City. A mostly monochromatic, digitally-rendered noir picture adapted from comic books by Frank Miller (Robocop 2) and co-directed by Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids) and Miller, Sin City gorged on a gluttonous $28.1 million weekend estimate at 3,230 locations. Pre-release industry tracking was comparable to Constantine, another R-rated comic book adaptation,...

Comedian George Carlin, 67, known for his shockingly obscene monologues got himself in trouble in Las Vegas recently – but not because of his filthy mouth. In the his last performance at the MGM Grand after four years before 700 paying customers, he reportedly said: "People who go to Las Vegas, you've got to question their f-----g intellect – traveling hundreds and thousands of miles to essentially give your money to a large corporation is kind of f-----g moronic. That's why what I'm always getting here is these kind of f-----g people with very limited intellects." But that's not the...

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 5 -- For a decade, the crowds gathered every night outside the Treasure Island casino on the neon-washed Vegas Strip to watch a simulated pirate battle between two full-sized galleons. With cannons booming, ships ablaze, and acrobatic sailors plunging from the mastheads into a flaming lagoon, the live show was a spectacle that thrilled children of all ages. But this fall, Treasure Island has closed its famous "Battle of Buccaneer Bay." After major refurbishments, the nightly extravaganza is to reopen Oct. 21 -- as a ship-borne girlie show. The hotel says those diving acrobats will be replaced...
