There's a scene in Lars and the Real Girl in which Lars' brother (Paul Schneider) confronts Lars about his delusion, telling him that Bianca is not a real person but a big plastic thing. Lars can't or won't hear him. For the audience his disbelief is a relief--why ruin a love so pure so soon? Selfishly, we hope Gosling keeps tuning Hollywood out a little longer...

A string of aggressive kill attempts and nearly miraculous digs and subsequent returns by both teams built upon one another for what seemed to be a span of nearly an entire minute.

For this, Giuliani demands an "apology," not just to the general but to all American troops in Iraq. He accuses her of "turning her back" on America's brave soldiers "just when our troops need all our support to finish...
