...expatriate Iranians, it's double jeopardy. I arrived in Iran in early 2009, still mired in the wilds of Season 2, which had ended some three years earlier. My cousins berated me mercilessly. "What, you don't know about Jughead? Tricia Tanaka or the Man from Tallahassee?" And this was from people who followed the show's dialogue by way of subtitles (bootleg fare is subtitled by college students pursuing degrees in English who toil away in anonymity). For my cousins, it was inconceivable that someone living in the U.S., with direct access to the show, would...
...would be a stretch to call these two frantic studs characters, at least in the Pixar sense. Nor are Aachi and Ssipak standard comic figures like Archie and Jughead; they're more Itchy and Scratchy - excuses for sadistic, sumptuously choreographed mayhem. The best movies may create story and characters that involve, ennoble or devastate the viewer; but not every movie has to. This one is not humane; it may not even be human.

...Sure, there are some nice performances in Sweet Charity, but watch for Amias' scene-stealing smirk that appears regardless of the show's tone at a particular moment. If the HRDC ever puts on a live-action Archie production, ladies and gentlemen, I think we've found our Jughead...
...typical charge is trespassing, carrying a loaded weapon or shooting out of season, which can cost up to $500 in fines and 90 days in the brig. And he's come across some real All-Stars. The Hemingway wannabe who wet his pants when he got caught. The jughead who was nabbed twice in one day. Malette uses a wild-turkey decoy too, and had one cowboy go after it with a .357 Magnum. We're talking N.R.A. Dream Team. But the all-time champ was the Lions Club president who asked Malette to bring a decoy to their meeting...
