...have just one sure thing ahead of them: the sophomore jinx. They describe their next film, a comedy called Heart of Love, as "Mad Mad Mad World meets Monty Python meets Airplane! meets the stupidest movie you've ever seen." Could it tank? Of course--like most indie or studio films. "We know we're gonna bomb," says Sanchez. "We're gonna live with that bomb and nurture it and then watch it explode...

To win fabulous prizes, a woman mocks her lover's after-sex ritual--"a ham sandwich and ESPN"--in front of a studio audience. A girl loses her virginity to her boyfriend--who turns into an evil vampire. Sex on TV is still plentiful. A study this year by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation found that 56% of 1,351 sampled shows, and two-thirds of prime-time ones, had sexual content...
