...before Bush took office and prompted Americans everywhere to stick out their tongues and linger just a little too long on the familiar greeting. In the intervening eight years, the friends have gotten older - and under the Bush Administration, their circumstances have changed. They're not "Watchin' the game. Havin' a Bud." Wassup Dude #1 - director Charles Stone, who also created the original ad - says, instead, that he's "Lost my home. Lookin' for a job." Wassup Dude #2, calling from a slightly inexplicable battlefield payphone, is "Still in Iraq. Watchin' my ass." Their uninsured buddy has an arm cast...
...Savages, The Bucket List: these are fairy tales for the dying and their survivors. The Reiner movie gets some honest laughs when physical agony makes its heroes behave less than heroically - "Somewhere," Edward mutters during one lightning blast of pain, "some lucky guy's havin' a heart attack" - but its prescription is essentially whimsical: a Percocet disguised as a miracle cure to defeat the fear of death...
Sure enough, Bennett, while a warm and enthusiastic paramour, is not a patient one. "You don't get more than three takes," laughs Costello after recording Are You Havin' Any Fun?

Al Gore, you think, would have cut and rolled take two. But what does Dubya care? He and Laura laugh each other goofy. I couldn't even think of the words for havin' a baby! "I like to laugh...
...turns out that Jelly's boss, Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro), hasn't been feeling well lately. He hasn't been his usual heartless self. He can't beat his enemies to a pulp anymore. "You havin' one of them mind-grains?" Jelly asks. Paul insists he's having a coronary but feels well enough to pound the doctor who dares to tell him it's only an anxiety attack. Jelly decides to be helpful and gives his boss Ben Sobol's business card...
