...Dillon gives depth and poignancy to a one-joke character. Admittedly, it's often a great joke, as when Drama brags about having been on "Blue"--it turns out he means not NYPD but Pacific Blue, the mid-'90s show about buff bicycle cops. Grenier, likewise, gives Vince a sweet, dim Vinnie Barbarino appeal. Vince doesn't read scripts--even for the movie he just made--but he seems savvy enough to know the utility of his dumbness...
...study in the International Journal of Obesity, artificially sweetened, low-calorie foods can thwart your ability to regulate how much you eat--if you are a rat, that is. Researchers found that lab animals sometimes fed saccharin-sweetened liquid consumed more food than did rats given an equally sweet but always high-calorie liquid. (Rats given a high-cal supplement the consistency of milk also gained more weight than did rats fed a thicker, pudding-like substance.) The study's authors think the same phenomenon may hold true for humans: early on, we learn to sense how calorie-packed...
...political correctness and even generosity has not gone unnoticed. I can’t even begin to count the times that Lebanese people have welcomed me into their stores or houses to talk and relax.

After the meeting, they adjourn to the garden and drink sweet black tea in the twilight. As they lecture me on Islam, a roar cuts across the conversation. From the other side of the farmhouse, less than 50 yds. away, a missile soars over us with a thunderous screech--bound for a nearby encampment housing U.S. Marines. "Allahu akbar," they all mutterGod is great. Minutes later, the imam makes the evening call to prayer. The 50 militants gathered at the safe house form tight lines behind one of the imams and bow reverently in prayer. Then some leave...
...latter include a soulful scientist (Alfred Molina) who, having fooled with Mother Nature, is somehow transformed into a great, clanking mechanical octopus; back from Spidey I, Peter's spunky, sweet-spirited aunt (the divine Rosemary Harris); and the meanest newspaper managing editor in movie history (J.K. Simmons). Occasionally, a street singer shows up to croak awful ballads about Spidey's exploits, and poor Auntie can't even get a toaster premium, much less a desperately needed loan, from her bank...
