Page 1 Consider (04/02)

  • 'Boy' Crazy: I saw the new film "Boy Culture" over the weekend and really loved it. More on that later in the week, but go see it if you haven't already. Cities and showtimes here ---> (BC MySpace)
  • Oh, Henry! Period pieces generally bore me to tears, but with Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Henry Cavill running around half-naked in "The Tudors," might I have to succumb? (NYT)
  • The $26 Million Woman: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton shatters the record for fundraising. (WP)
  • R-Delusionville: Arizona senator John McCain got to see firsthand how "safe" Baghdad is these days. (AP)
  • Take Me Out: The 2007 baseball season is officially in swing, and the Mets got revenge on the St. Louis Cardinals in their opening game. Winning was nice, but it was seeing my boy David Wright in action again that reminded me why I've taken an interest in America's sport so late in life. (Reuters)
  • How Embarrassing: Former child star Brian Bonsall, who played Andy Keaton in "Family Ties," was arrested on charges of assaulting his girlfriend. (AP)
  • It Runs in the Family: Comedic actress Molly Shannon is starring in dramatic new film called "Year of the Dog," but the last time she put on a show that wasn't for laughs was when her dad dared her and her best friend to be stowaways on a People Express flight to New York City from Cleveland. She was 12. Just before takeoff, the young girls dashed aboard wearing pink leotards and tights, assuring a stewardess that they were just saying goodbye to their sister. "I tried my best to come off as sweet and innocent," she said. "But my heart was pounding so loud I could hardly hear." Shannon and her pal ducked into a seat. Waved off the plane on arrival, they took a subway to Rockefeller Center, where Shannon would one day make her name as a geek goddess on "Saturday Night Live." (NYT)
  • Anti-Bully Pulpit: There's just got to be something that can do to curb the never-ending torment that bullies inflict on schoolmates. Here are some kids who are trying. (AP)

  • Date Repellent: Did you catch the Times article about the guys who think it's their apartments that are repelling potential love interests? The headline should have been: It's Not You, It's Your Apartment (No, It's You) (There is one notable exception, however, which I'm sure you will figure out.) (NYT)

    After 15 minutes of 'The Tudors' I was falling asleep, despite the eye candy! I was even watching it in High Def with the sound cranked hoping it would help me get into it. No luck.

    Thanks for the info on "Boy Culture." I'm looking forward to seeing it.
