Chatting with a childhood hero, Lou Ferrignonew
Since there was no CGI back then, the producers turned to a real-live human being to play the Hulk. That human being was none other than Lou Ferrigno, a former Mr. Universe winner. Needless to say, when kids thought of the show, it wasn't the trickling piano or Dr. Banner's love for thumbing rides, but the moments when the green guy would tear da club up.

Multimedia: Murals in Charlestonnew
Charleston isn't widely known for its public art. Occasionally a few murals pop up around town, but our visual identity is inexorably tied to traditional architecture and Rainbow Row. Even signage is tightly controlled, and public projects usually have a raft of red tape to confront.

Colin Quashie's pointed response to the world around himnew
It may be difficult to spot Colin Quashie's second-story studio if you aren't explicitly looking for it. An indistinct C and Q pasted to a glass door are the only clues that something else goes on in this standalone brick-and-concrete building on Upper King Street besides the haircuts that take place in the first-floor barber shop. It doesn't help that the logo gives a better impression of a cloud than a formal set of initials, the puffy and bulbous letters joined together in a cartoonish fashion. So instead, a better sign of what happens on the second story may be in the downstairs shop, where one of Quashie's works hangs on a wall near the wide windows.

'Sideways' director dumps a mess of problems on George Clooneynew
Alexander Payne has this thing for mid-life crises. Whether pitting an exasperated high-school teacher against a scheming overachiever in his 1999 breakthrough Election, or dropping Jack Nicholson and a naked Kathy Bates in a hot tub for About Schmidt, or setting a pair of wine snobs loose in his last movie, 2004's Sideways, the writer-director doesn't see people in their 40s as well-adjusted men and women contributing to society.
