...film, written by 11 guys, and directed by David Silverman in the old-fashioned, hand-drawn way, looks surprisingly spiffy on the big screen. It's rated PG-13 (for brief frontal nudity), but vulgarity was never the envelope The Simpsons pushed. Its goal was density, comic congestion, the vacuum-packing of cool gags and grotesque-sympathetic characters into the shortest span possible...
...same time, there was a growing vacuum in the movies that left an opening for TV. It's no coincidence that most of these new antiheroines are played by movie actresses of a certain age in a business where meaty roles go to twentysomethings or to Meryl Streep. That problem, Hunter says, is exacerbated by the decline of middle-budget, character-based films: "Now movies are made for $2 million, or they're made for more than $60 million."

...WORKS The clingy BioSuit compresses the body to protect it from the strong vacuum of space. For almost 40 years, NASA has relied on gas pressurization, which uses force to create an Earth-like atmosphere within the suit...
...surface - acts that are physically impossible using NASA's current Tin Man-like designs. The form-fitting style of the new suit doesn't just make for a beguiling photo op; it also keeps astronauts alive by creating what scientists call mechanical counter pressure, which balances out the vacuum pull of space. The spacesuits worn today use gas pressurization - they create a small Earth-like atmosphere inside the suit, which exerts the appropriate force on the astronaut's body. The system works, but many scientists consider it to be out of date because it requires bulky equipment and a life...
...violence, regain control of their country. Indeed, there are those who think that is the best reason for the U.S. to set a date for a withdrawal now, to force the Iraqis to step up and take control before any kind of U.S. pullout begins to create a vacuum. But there are few indications that the Iraqi center, such as it is, can hold or that Iraq's neighbors will be much of a stabilizing influence...
