...blood. Blood, limbs and gore, in all of their nauseating variations. Here is where Very Bad Things shows itself to be neither "dark" nor "comedy." Somehow Peter Berg, the director, has decided that because the severing of an ear can be a scene at once terrifying and hilarious in Reservoir Dogs, then any scene of dismemberment is terrifying and hilarious. Dismemberment, per se, is neither, as Very Bad Things shows us again and again.

There's slim hope that this vast reservoir of alienated, alternatively minded youth will try to wrest political power from those old-fashioned enough to notice Election Day. They might unite in resistance if cultural warriors like William Bennett and Joseph Lieberman, who regularly denounce obscenity and bad attitudes in pop culture, were to foster some repressive legislation.

Pentagon sources have told CNN that the missile a U.S. F-16 fired on Iraq on Tuesday did indeed miss the radar station by some 11 miles and land in a civilian reservoir, as the Iraqis have claimed. How did a sophisticated radar-tracking missile hit water and not its target? TIME National Security correspondent Douglas Waller says that the Iraqi operator would have merely sent "a squirt" of radar: enough to set off the British planes' alarms but not enough for the F-16's missile to draw a good bead on the source...
