...making of these underground movies gives Black a chance to put his usual ham on wry, and for Def to exhibit a gallery of eloquent shrugs. It's also a way for Michel Gondry, the French writer-director who worked with Charlie Kaufman on the Jim Carrey time-slip comedy Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, to bang home his point that all moviemaking, whether a tiny indie film or a Michael Bay extravaganza, are communal enterprises. The whole town not only lines up to rent Mike and Jerry's faux films, they join in their production, serving as extras...
...condemning terrorism have a dilemma, too. What keeps otherwise moderate Pakistanis from denouncing extremist leaders such as Osama bin Laden is a deep-seated distaste for both Musharraf and the U.S. The President's call for "enlightened moderation" was well received in Washington, but in Pakistan, where his ham-fisted attempts to stay in power have earned him widespread opprobrium, it was perceived to be a cynical, and successful, bid for support from the West at the expense of his own people.

And in season, Rodriguez adds (on request) the authentic Carcassonne touch: wild partridge in lieu of duck confit...
...town's environs: an average of 120 tons is factory-canned there every day. Luckily, at his lively restaurant Au Petit Gazouillis, Alain van Ees Beeck has been cooking Castelnaudary cassoulet from scratch for nearly 20 years. With peppery Montagne Noire sausage, creamy Lauragais beans - slow-cooked with ham hock for a rich, smoky taste - and the farm-raised duck confit famous in Castelnaudary, Van Ees Beeck can boast an authenticity no mass-produced cassoulet can match...
