...gene, called T1R3, has not yet been proven to be the elusive "sweet tooth gene," but scientists plan to test their findings by implanting the gene into mice who seem to lack an interest in sugar water and see if they can stimulate a sweet tooth response. (I think scientists might get a better response if they used a nice chocolate bar, but that's just...

...Frank lives in a tooth-and-claw, pre-civilized world, but with card-playing, geometrically shaped chickens, stick-figure devils that read books, and man-hogs who live in houses.

...breakfast but can't seem to get any love for it, possibly because of that stupid war paint. Keith and Tina are marked for passage, as is Jeff, who's young enough to pass but way too spiteful to have not made enemies by now.

...film is pretty logy, a trudging catalog of depredations and atrocities. Bardem hasn't the charisma to bring variety to Arenas or his plight. The only leavenings are guest turns by Depp (good in two roles, as the torturer and a drag queen) and Sean Penn, in gold tooth and brownface, as a skeptical peasant.

...really. The majority of the Supreme Court yanked a bad tooth that was dangerously abscessing. They rescued America from the Great Dismal Swamp. They saved the nation from an electoral Vietnam - a quagmire of open-ended, ever-deepening conflict that would have torn the country farther apart, radicalized the middle, and spilled into the streets...
