...more than four times its cost at the U.S. box office. This enabled Apatow to produce all the scripts he'd been studiously stockpiling, making seven movies in 2007 and '08 - Knocked Up (which he also directed), Superbad, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Drillbit Taylor, Step Brothers and Pineapple Express - and inspiring a slew of imitators. He was the first to show that our porn- and profanity-saturated culture is actually underpinned by churchgoing morals. Crudeness became a cover for sensitivity; he created a generation of Alan Aldas who talk like frat boys. Compared with...
...funny I could be without making the choice that every 10 minutes something big and visual had to happen," he says. "People like the comedy more when they care about the characters. That's what I learned from the last two movies. This movie is just taking that one step further."

...would be presumptuous to believe on one end that Indians need the infusion of Western culture as a step toward “civilization,” when their own culture predates Western ideas by several millennia (so forgo any “White Man’s Burden”)—and at the other, that India is still stuck in its past, and likes it that way.

Then step back in time at the majolica-tiled Osteria della Matonella, tel: (39-081) 416 541, where pasta alla Genoves (with veal and onions) and rum baba testify to 35 years of mama-licious Neapolitan cooking.

Roman pub manager Leonardo Leuci has noticed an increasingly popular request from young people who step up to the bar to order a drink: "Make me something strong." Leuci spent a decade working at watering holes abroad, from France to Florida to the Bahamas, before coming back home last year to manage a locale in Rome's bustling Trastevere neighborhood. Right away, he was surprised to be seeing - and serving - so many young people whose only goal was to get sloshed. "In Italy, we don't have a drinking culture," Leuci says. "Lots of young people don't even know...
