...sequence in which two gay pigeons appear with their personal assistant, Billy, in tow. They pitch an episode idea to Bolt: aliens. When they think he’s on board, one of the pigeons frantically whispers to the other, “Don’t freak out, this is how you blew it with Nemo.” “Bolt” is, for the most part, predictably tame. Penny is as saccharine as any Disney princess. Bolt has a requisite crisis of faith in which he questions her love, but this doubt is fleeting?...

...first “Saw” (the root of the phenomenon) proceeds thusly: Two guys are locked in a bathroom. First they have to figure out why, and then they have to figure out how to escape. Meanwhile, a group of detectives are out looking for a sadistic freak they call Jigsaw because of the puzzle pieces he leaves at all of his crime scenes. Rather than kill anyone, Jigsaw devises elaborate ways for people to kill themselves, and in the process we learn to value life. So it’s a positive message: Love it or lose...

...What was all the fuss about? An hour-long raunch fest that was part slapstick comedy, part carnal carnival: it's a burlesque routine (Reems as a doctor, wisecracking like Groucho Marx) wrapped around a sideshow freak stunt (Lovelace's bedroom trick of controlling her gag reflex so she could perform glottal fellatio - a glo-job). "You had to be there," he said in Inside Deep Throat. "I'm thrilled that I was there. And I thank God I had a camera." Damiano gave this movie the tone of a mildly bright comedy, with an underscoring full of broadly ironic...

...history of woe, but this is a city (well, technically, a body of water) whose football team, the Buccaneers, lost the first 26 games of its existence. If history is any indicator, neither team will win: the Rays and the Phillies will be swept from the field in a freak hurricane, and Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz will have a home-run derby to decide the title, as Abner Doubleday no doubt would have intended...
