...talked about being inspired by Bill Cosby's clean comedy. Was hosting this show, which allows you to work with kids, your dream job in some ways? Yeah, it was. When Mark Burnett called me about the show, I told him, "Whether I do it or not, just in its simplicity this is a wonderful idea." Because every adult thinks, "Well, yeah, I can do that." You find out pretty quickly that you can't. It's not just a game of chance. It rewards knowledge and it makes kids look good. Part of the appeal...

Hyflux's membrane technology shows that even the dirtiest water can be cleaned. Seawater in Singapore, for instance, is first dosed with acids to adjust alkaline levels and then cleaned of contaminants like oil and grease.

For the next year and half, he kept clean, started college and found a new job, until one day the Immigration and Naturalization Service contacted him to fill out some forms.

...cheer stems from the narration, which is almost entirely from Whitacre’s delusional point of view. The narration also renders the supporting characters rather flat. From the moment her husband gets involved with the FBI, Whitacre’s anxious wife (Melanie Lynskey) urges him to come clean: “Whatever you do, Corky, no matter what’s going on, just be honest with them and tell the truth.” But the audience forgets her presence in the film almost as easily as Whitacre forgets her advice. His wheedling coworkers suffer a similar...
