...right, or even that simple? Pain and disability have a pernicious way of becoming true even if they start out false. My patient Eddy was in a car accident in the last several years. When he saw me soon after the accident, my examination showed he had a mild finger and knee sprain, but no bruising or swelling. All of his x-rays and MRI's were essentially normal. Eddy walked with a ridiculously fake limp and a cane, when he remembered...
...studios make it difficult for casual filmgoers to decide where to spend their ticket money. Then again, that was the point. Surprisingly, the response of film critics to these outrages has been muted. For a brief while, Ebert and Roper issued un-screened movies a “wagging finger of shame” rather than their usual “thumbs up” or “thumbs down.” However, they stopped the practice as the number of press-prohibited pictures multiplied.

...Tang Clan's last reliably great member hasn't exactly softened his material (fishscale is apparently slang for uncut cocaine), but then he hasn't lost his ability to tell a story either. In Ghostface's dexterous delivery, a line like "Workin' out, all I curl is my index finger" is less a boast about control than one more detail in a life of paranoia. The production puts equal value on melody and tension and even has room for nostalgia--9 Milli Bros. is a Wu-Tang reunion--but the truth is that Ghostface is better...
...It’s tempting to point our democratic finger at Big Bad Red China, especially since they often make it so easy. After all, this is the country whose government plans to shut down Beijing’s factories for a month to stop the omnipresent smog for the 2008 Olympics, and who issued a law governing the amount of hours their citizens can play online videogames...
