...early scenes, fastidious viewers may be wearied by a glut of comic references - to movies of the '50s (The Thing from Another World) and the '70s (Apocalypse Now) - that should probably be deleted from the anything-for-a-joke book. The movie also briefly and unnecessarily invokes the voices of Henry Kissinger and JFK. But ransacking pop culture is what cartoons do, and not just the gag-strewn Shrek movies. Clampett's Horton Hatches the Egg has a Katharine Hepburn bird, a Peter Lorre fish (that commits suicide!) and the Horace Heidt novelty hit "The Hut Sut Song." Even...

He shows up in full geek regalia with large rimmed glasses that belong in the 70s and a polka-dotted bow tie. Stranger than his attire is the ensuing wet dream he has of Mariah while supposedly working on her computer. After McBrayer sits down to work, we are inflicted with his vision of Mariah lying seductively in bed while McBrayer dons a gold Viking helmet...
...book, The Doctors' Case Against the Pill, is widely credited with sparking the women's-health movement of the '70s. Pioneering author-activist Barbara Seaman began to research the high-estrogen birth-control pill after readers of her magazine column complained of painful symptoms. Seaman's book, which exposed side effects, including stroke, heart attack and depression, led to highly publicized Senate hearings and ultimately to mandated warning labels and patient-information inserts. She was 72 and had lung cancer...
