...Oscars, where our first film, Salaam Bombay!, was nominated as Best Foreign Language Film. It was 1989, before private media exploded in India, before the government even recognized filmmaking as a legitimate industry. Armed with just good wishes and some telegrams from family and friends, we spent a riotous few days in the luxury of the Beverly Wilshire, being taken to lunch by Billy Wilder, joking with Pedro Almodóvar and his transgendered entourage, gate-crashing Spanish and Danish parties, not really minding that we were neglected by our own country. When it came time for our award, Jacqueline...
...Lil’ Kim worthy lyrics she was required to recite, but “Maude and Harold” was nothing if not a comedy of incongruities. Mitnick’s exceedingly hummable score swelled beneath the show-stopping musical numbers, but never overwhelmed the actors’ riotous vocal performances. Mitnick’s score alluded extensively to the wholesome showtunes of yesteryear’s Rogers and Hammerstein productions—which was all the more ironic considering the songs’ risqué content. Pope had her hands full orchestrating frequent set changes. The stage underwent...
South Park meets Zadie Smith's White Teeth in this offensive, riotous cartoon about a multicultural high school in South London. The trio of main characters includes scheming, crude Keisha (imagine a black female Eric Cartman); Natella, the earnest South Asian class brain; and Latrina, the bigoted white working-class bombshell.

And when the immigrant students discuss their favorite foods and cultural activities...
...live in riotous times. The global and national supplies of rationality seem dangerously depleted. Two weeks ago, there was the media riot over Vice President Dick Cheney's hunting accident. Last week there was a bipartisan congressional riot over the Bush Administration's approval of a deal to transfer the management of six U.S. ports from a British company to one owned by the United Arab Emirates. And then there is the constant, combustible throb of Islamic unrest, most recently the intramural explosion of Iraq's Sunnis and Shi'ites, which has devastated the possibility that civil order will arrive...
While most students passed their journeys home for winter break eagerly anticipating the riotous festivities ahead, some had already had their share of holiday chaos, as they were left stranded outside of Lowell House when one of the Undergraduate Council (UC) shuttles to the airport ran out of room. Dozens of students who hoped to get on the 2 p.m. shuttle to Logan International Airport on Tuesday, Dec. 20 were turned away at the last minute due to a lack of luggage space. After the shuttle apparently allowed students without tickets to board at the Quad, some students...
