...stooping to pick up a toddler or crouching to tie a shoe. Typically, the strange little grunting noises never sound like much--a weary uhhh as the weight of the body is raised or lowered. Sometimes the uhhh may be followed by a few expressive words, like a thoughtful hoo-boy or a quick...

...before re-upping--much to his regret--with the Nets, says, "After last season Michael said to me, 'Come play for the Bulls, pull down eight to 10 rebounds a night, and I'll get you two championship rings.' At the time I thought, 'Who's spiking his Yoo-Hoo?' How was I supposed to know? I go out to Chicago, take the psychological test and while I'm trying to decide, they sign Dennis Rodman. How bad did I do on that test...

...prude. Frankly, we don't care if a joke's funny as long as it's dirty. But in switching writer-directors, from the first film's Tom Shadyac to Steve Oedekerk, Carrey lost a clever farceur and got what Ace would call a la-hoo-za-her (loser). The star plays more than ever to himself; the cast stands around starched and embarrassed, like white-tie judges at a wet-T shirt contest.

So when someone we'll call "Demonboy" flashed me an invitation to accompany him into a "private room," I assumed he was just hungry for a higher order of chat. A few clicks...

Amid the latest hoo-ha and brouhaha about toxic culture, a media maven is led to wonder: Has Bob Dole ever read his kids a fairy tale? Or sung a nursery rhyme? Or seen a classic Disney cartoon? In Hansel and Gretel, Jack and Jill, Bambi and Dumbo, the obsessive themes are death and dismemberment. These graphic horror stories tell toddlers that life is a dark forest where parents get killed and kids get eaten. As purveyors of Dole's "nightmares of depravity," Warner Bros. ain't a patch on the Grimm Bros...
