THE MOVIE "Cowboys and Aliens"
THE DEAL The upcoming sci-fi-Western hybrid starring Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig is getting a much-needed promotional push this month with 7-Eleven's Alienade Slurpee, a cold beverage in a light-up cup. The film reportedly has confused audiences -- the title suggests a spoof, but the trailers are dead serious -- and seems in danger of getting lost among a crowded summer movie season. A marketing executive for the convenience-store chain sounded a more positive note, saying, "Not only does the movie cross genres, it crosses generations of 7-Eleven customers." The film is scheduled for release July 29.
