...movie isn't as deft or compact as Zucker's YouTube video this summer of a man being strangled by the pump at a gas station, but it has its funny parts. One is the running gag that Malone isn't a "real" moviemaker because he does documentaries. "Nobody likes documentaries," somebody says. "But many people find them restful." As it happens, Fahrenheit 9/11 earned more at the domestic box office than any movie David Zucker has directed. And though Grandpa Nielsen's closing argument is that "It turned out that people actually wanted to see movies that show...
...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).

It was a strange time, and [the Frontiersman] came out very harshly against...
...gays from marrying. However, I regret that TIME did not see fit to mention that there are two sides to Warren's plans. A principal cause of poverty in developing countries is the lack of access to birth control and abortion. Is Warren upholding George W. Bush's global gag rule? Has anyone told him that proselytizing is arrogant in its lack of respect for local cultures? The belief that one's own religion is right and everyone else's is wrong is the root of most of the conflict occurring today. True believers are always wrong, whether they...
