...part about charging them as adults just doesn't make sense. Children are treated like miniature adults from the time they can talk. We except them to take care of themselves (or let the television take care of them) and do what we say, and for the most part they do. But they don't get to be children, and therefore they lack the upbringing part while they exhibit the behavior part. They know what adults do and they're allowed to do what adults do, but the sense of responsibility is missing. Wurst and the Arkansas schoolboys are going...
Dressed for the interview in a hipster blue bowling shirt, black slacks and loosely tied sneakers, Downey looks good after serving 113 days in the joint.

The room tour spiel quickly became a routine--windows are slightly drafty, fraternity across the street which is not too loud except on weekends, knock on the next door to see the bedroom...
...strictly buyer beware. So stay away from the late ?60s stinker ?Godzilla?s Revenge,? an excuse to repackage old Godzilla footage in a new and spectacularly stupid story that is of interest mainly as an early exercise in shovelware. And we?ll withhold judgment on the new flick except to note that if the big guy makes Matthew Broderick p?t?...
