...Bruges to cool their heels. As they wait for instructions from boss Harry (Ralph Fiennes), Ken wants to take in the sights but Ray would rather meet girls and make fun of American tourists. The film's first half is pure comedy, as Ken and Ray bicker like two overgrown schoolkids. Then a second hit goes wrong and things get bloody...
...show with the most nuanced take on gender now is actually a sitcom: 30 Rock. Through comedy-show producer Liz Lemon (Tina Fey)--a woman middle manager in an overgrown-boys' field--it has dealt with topics from misogynist swear words to the gap between baby-boom and Gen-X feminists with a gender-consciousness that's unashamed but unafraid to make fun of itself.

Igor Petrovich has a good idea. He would like to import a small population of carp to eat the grass that has overgrown the pond. The pond is the pride and joy of Ranina, a resort community in the vast forested flatlands of eastern Belarus, and the grass has grown so thick that swimming and fishing have become difficult. The grass is a source of constant aggravation and conversation among residents who own properties along the water's edge. The homeowners agree that carp would be a simple, low-cost, environmentally friendly solution to the problem...
