...prepares to shoot a scene in which the Anipals snort a pink cocaine-like substance, Smigel chuckles to himself. "I do feel like I'm devolving a bit as I get older. When I was 25, I was writing sophisticated sketches on SNL. Ever since I started Conan, I've been really silly." And lucky. After The Dana Carvey Show tanked in 1996, Smigel had enough money saved to write only when inspiration struck. He salvaged his Ambiguously Gay Duo cartoon (about a superhero combo that is really close) from Carvey and started making episodes for SNL. That...

...high is decked out in the traditional pink dress and golden stole of ancient Rome. She bursts into a third-grade classroom and greets her students: "Salvete, omnes!" (Hello, everyone!) The kids respond in kind, and soon they are studying derivatives. "How many people are in a duet?" High asks. All the kids know the answer, and when she asks how they know, a boy responds, "Because duo is 'two' in Latin." High replies, "Plaudite!" and the 14 kids erupt in applause. They learn the Latin root later, or side, and construct such English words as bilateral and quadrilateral. "Latin...

At ivillagemoneylife.com an ad for a $300 camcorder ran on the same page as an article titled "Deep in Debt." Mixed message, perhaps...

...couldn't resist saying it because I was so offended on some levels by "Survivor" and by his being and the being of all those people. It was to the effect of "Enjoy your 15 minutes because you're about to be swallowed by anonymity faster than my pink thing in a St. Bernard." And he was just stone-faced after that. He was laughing his ass off at all the gay jokes, but then that one he just.... They're all deluded nuts to enter that kinda show in the first place, so obviously the guy who wins...

...film is mostly confined to the Venus Beauty Institute, whose glass storefront is used to great cinematographic advantage. Angele dispenses creams, ointments, and depilatories while enduring the quirky vanities of clients. For help she has pink-uniformed co-workers: Marie (Audrey Tautou), at twenty and lovely, is the target of an elderly widow's special attention, Samantha (Mathilde Seigner) attempts suicide under the duress of heavy foreshadowing. But these characters are like snapshots, brief though believable portraits. Other than Angele, the film's characters are never confusing enough to be understood...
