...energize my old dream of becoming an actor. I'm trying to have people who make movies see me as more than a cartoonish, one-dimensional comedian who shows up for a cameo. [Writer-director] Kevin Smith saw me as something a little different in [his film] Dogma, and now he's rewarded me with this part that he wrote...
...biology was the last thing on Tilly's mind when he and his colleagues began their research. They were interested in prolonging fertility, but as experts in cell death, or apoptosis, they were looking for ways to keep the limited supply of eggs limping along longer. "We assumed the dogma was correct," he says. Indeed, they found that the egg cells in adult-mouse ovaries are constantly dying off--but at a remarkable rate of up to 1,200 a day, or about a third of the total.

Leading the attack, Vanity Fair's Christopher Hitchens appropriated rhetorical tactics employed by both political fringes. Like some segments of the Christian right when Last Temptation and Dogma came out, he called for a boycott of a film he apparently had not seen. And he exhumed that favorite old pejorative of the Bolsheviks, fascist: he said the movie is "quite distinctly fascist in intention," adding that it is "an incitement to sadomasochism, in the less attractive sense...
