Anchor: I can't believe that the director, Sam Raimi ( The Evil Dead , 1983; last year's A Simple Plan ) thought that all those scenes of Costner and Preston staring into space while the piano plinks would end up in the final cut, but Raimi apparently gave up control of the final cut for the sake of making his first, real mainstream picture.
Entailed: Rami directed The Evil Dead.
Contradiction: Raimi is new to directing.
Contradiction: There will not be any new sports, just golf and tennis.
Contradiction: People are eating.
Contradiction: Ichidani's heritage is not important. 
Contradiction: The puppies are sleeping
