The fact that the world’s economy teeters on the brink of the abyss because some Wall Streeters put together a genius plan to package bad debt into insanely complicated financial instruments and sell it to people and institutions as if it suddenly somehow isn’t bad anymore is proof, as if you needed more, that the more things change, the more they stay insane.

Who doesn’t love a happy ending? Certainly Hollywood does. I don’t. Do you? A happy ending can be enjoyable, but it’s a guilty pleasure. Sure, happy endings are sweet, but they aren’t real life, the way that candy bars aren’t real food. A few seconds of intense pleasure, a brief tingle followed by the inevitable crash. Movies, though, fade to the credit crawl while you still have that tingle.
So… how would it end if it were more like life? What would you change to make it more lifelike? Maybe you …

I realize that the title may be a bit misleading. Not only that, her male fans might find the truth disappointing: the clothes available for sale are in fact those in her clothing line, available through Macy’s, and not the clothes she’s wearing at the moment. In other words, no matter how much you buy, it won’t mean Ms. Simpson will have to wear less.
That said, gentlemen, consider passing on this information to your girlfriend. As a consolation prize for the gentlemen, I’ve included a picture of one of the …

According to the Guiness Book of World Records, here are the top ten movie quotes. Can you guess what movie they’re from?

The story feels like a three hour story crammed into two hours, …
