...never been a fan of judging people in their public lives for their private activities, and yet I cannot avoid being frustrated when I consider Reubens' fate in the context of those of other famous figures. Senator Edward M. Kennedy '54-'56 and actor Matthew Broderick each played an intimate and condemnable part in a causal chain that resulted in the death of a human being. Star of "Frasier" Kelsey Grammar has been arrested more times for drug charges than I care to count. None of these men has seen his career suffer...
...that's precisely what director Griffin Dunne and writer Robert Gordon have up and tried in Addicted to Love, and a fine--but not entirely uninteresting--mess they have on their hands.

Fortunately, none of them went as far as La Jolla, California, socialite Betty Broderick, who in 1989 gunned down her ex-husband and his new young wife, an assistant from his law office, in their bedroom. "One way or another," says Fudin of her clients, "these women need to talk it out, write it out, scream it out." They must also take pains...
Medieval Times: This medieval restaurant in Buena Park, California is the site of the "Cable Guy" scene in which Jim Carey takes his jousting (and obsessive friendship) with Matthew Broderick a little too far and almost kills him in the process. Participation by the diners in the arena is typically not allowed, but, true to the movie, eating with your hands is derigeur...
