Three cheers for Michael Moore for standing in front of the Hollywood big shots (who hypocritically gave him a standing ovation then nearly booed him off stage) and proclaiming with conviction: “We live in fictitious times.

I’ve never really been one to get all gushy and romantic and celebrate the sorry excuse for making money between other holidays: Valentine’s Day. Luckily, my fiancee feels the same way.

Yesterday morning I sent what I thought was a really funny email to some friends, suggesting plans for Saturday.

These are just a few of the highlights from Adam Sandler’s latest flick, his first that’s not your average ha-ha comedy. Saturday afternoon Jen and I saw […]
