And because Judd Apatow has been so busy churning out guy oriented flicks (providing life to the term bromance), see the following titled "Judd Apatow's Dick Flicks": http://thepassionatemoviegoer.blogspot.com/2008/04/judd-apatows-dick-flicks.html By the way, I am not taking any sides in argument, just providing some relevant information. I've got enough enemies. :-) -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
