Crane's name was his frame: a gangly galoot and, when he fell for buxom Katrina Van Tassel, an easy prey for the burly lads of Sleepy Hollow. In Burton's revision and Depp's incarnation, Crane is a Manhattan constable sent upriver to solve a murder; predating Poe's Auguste Dupin by several decades, he is America's first detective. He is also a troubled soul, carrying literal scars from childhood and memories that roil his sleep. So handsome, so haunted, he proves irresistible to this Katrina (Christina Ricci). Yet Depp bumbles and stumbles, just like the old Ichabod...

...fact, all of the women of Sleepy Hollow are outfitted in bosom-popping dresses--perhaps a nod to Irving's description of Katrina as "buxom." Ichabod's mother, played by Lisa Marie (Tim Burton's wife), breastily swirls in flowery dream sequences that contrast with the bleak scenes of reality. And then of course we have Christina Ricci as Katrina, short, blond and busty...

...these shows are shrinking as local channels that once filled airtime with this kind of cheesy programming have become network affiliates for the WB or UPN, which have expanded to six and five nights of programming, respectively.

"The international market is what makes these shows...

...Frankenstein-Pygmalion plot is as familiar as last week, when it was called She's All That. (And a decade ago, it was the evil-teen classic Heathers.) Writer-director Stein flirts with black humor but, alas, never goes all the way. As for McGowan, she has the buxom wantoness and smartly cruel mouth to be a retro indie pinup, but if she doesn't choose her films more wisely, she'll end up as a perpetual gonna...

...cover of any successful magazine is a shrewd advertisement for what lies inside. Maxim's each month features one buxom starlet or another leaning over or hunching her shoulders or toying with her bikini top. Inside, between pseudo service articles on, say, how to sneak into the Super Bowl or date women in prison, are pictures of more chesty starlets, along with the occasional female athlete who could pass for one. It should be noted that most of these images are far less risque than a Varga girl...
