...later protest Ralph Ginzburg's conviction, offered a chatty letter. Frank Harris, author of the social and erotic confession My Life and Loves (which had not yet been legally published in the U.S.), got the biographical treatment. The mood lightened with a couple dozen limericks, familiar to centuries of frat boys. The harlot from Kew, the man from Stamboul and the fellow from Kent all made guest appearances, but not, alas, the hermit named Dave...

Yet these faults seem unlikely to alienate the films’ natural audience of frat boys and stoners. These movies are essentially “critic proof”—withholding them from reviewers was completely unnecessary. Similarly, the two horror movies that have been denied advance screenings—the second installment in Kate Beckinsale’s vampire franchise “Underworld...
