About 40% of the new film was improvised on the set, say several actors. Yet things weren't loosey-goosey for everyone. "It's not as lighthearted as it seems," says Heather Graham, who plays slinky CIA agent Felicity Shagwell. "They were pretty specific about the script. Mike would improvise and make up stuff, but if you forgot one word, they'd say, 'No, that's wrong.' It appears off the cuff, but it was kind of scientific and took hours to get right." Some over-the-top bits were chopped from the movie, many involving a grotesque adversary named...
...sense of reason. So I had my co-worker Mac, a serious skater and tough critic, test them out too. "It feels like your foot is wrapped in a pillow," he said. After a couple of loops around the park, Mac decided that they felt a little "loosey-goosey" on the top of his foot. He also was worried that their flashy design would ruin his East Village hipster reputation. But my goose wasn't loose, and I like attention. More important, I was skating faster than ever. Sure, the Outback Xs were smoother on bumps, and the Natures handier...
...disingenuous for rich and famous moviemakers to tell us how awful it is to be rich and famous on television. As it happens, the moral of EDtv is of less import than its tone--which seems loosey-goosey but is carefully land-mined with gags--and its characters, who are unremarkable but worth getting to know.

Elfman paints a nice portrait of a woman fighting for esteem. (Psst: she gets it from...
...dark beauty radiates the easy breeding of old-Hollywood royalty. Her wide, playful mouth suggests the young Katharine Hepburn; its I-know-I've-got-it look can be read as poise or derision. Waif-thin, Posey must have a Slinky for a spine; her walk is a loosey-goosey dance, as if house music were playing nonstop in her head. The aura is of a Park Avenue deb who gets her kicks downtown...
Kaelin has, in fact, proved to be one of the minor surprises this time around. The actor-houseguest was one of Clark's biggest problems. She spent long, frustrating hours in her office and in court trying to coax coherent testimony from the loosey-goosey Kaelin. Then last week a spiffed-up, more verb-friendly Kaelin testified that Simpson was brooding, and cursing, the day before the murders over his former wife's sexual escapades, referring to an incident in which he witnessed Nicole having sex with a boyfriend, Keith Zlomsowitch. And Kaelin also mentioned last week that the three...
