...Every movement of Bridges' performance reveals not just the mess Bad is, but something about the man he once was. There is a terrifically naked moment when Jean catches him watching porn on the couch, with nothing but a towel tossed over his paunch. She's embarrassed, but more important, he's mortified, and for the first time, as he attempts to gather the shambles of his dignity around him, we see that Bad is not beyond caring. Cooper nicely juxtaposes this with a later scene of Bad's seducing Jean when she's on her way out a different...

...path to the opening day of Erotica 2009. The 14th annual sex-themed expo is billed by its organizers as "the best-attended adult lifestyle event in the world," and this year attracted some 70,000 visitors over three days in November. The redhead and her neighbor, his paunch nicely emphasized by a gleaming blue PVC vest beneath his jacket, calmly disentangle themselves before joining the queue for admission...

During the 45-day course, commandos-in-training get up at dawn for early morning conditioning, including three-mile runs up steep, rocky knobs plus strength training, yoga and meditation. (Ponwar insists that all officers who still have a paunch by the end of the course are failed.) To dispel officers' fear of the jungle, the forces are taught how to catch (and eat) snakes, distinguish edible plants from poisonous ones and make camouflaged lean-tos out of sticks and leaves...

...speaking engagement, an address at a university in Baroda in western India where he expected a crowd of at least 8,000. It is hard to imagine any author - besides, say, J.K. Rowling - as the object of so much adulation. In his rumpled white shirt, and with a slight paunch and wire-rimmed glasses, Bhagat looks much more like an overworked investment banker (in fact he is one, and has been for 15 years) than a best-selling author (which he has been for the past four). The success of his first book, Five Point Someone, a campus novel following...

Waiting for Manteris at the Italian restaurant at Vegas' Red Rock resort, I was bummed I couldn't find someone to bet me what he would look like. Because I would have made a lot of money. He had a pinstriped suit, a faint beard, a faint paunch and a not-so-faint gold chain with an Eastern Orthodox cross, a Greek evil eye and a Hindu om. I was not sure I trusted an oddsmaker who wasn't willing to set a line on who would triumph at the apocalypse...
