Foreign correspondences

From Malaysia comes word of a "a hungry 25-foot python" (is there any other kind?) that’s eaten at least 11 dogs. Across Difficult Country foreign correspondent and native Malaysian Ismail Mat Taib remarked:

In other Malaysian news, the Malaysian men’s ice hockey team beat Hong Kong 7-3 and made them cry.

The Producers: A pair of real life homosexualists (Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane) portray heterosexual Broadway musical impresarios. Notice the pattern. Do you understand 'Hollywood logic' works now? King Kong: I’ve decided the old-style stop-motion animation is better than tedious modern CGI effects. The latter mechanical
