...million stoners. Many users tend to pick it up in their teens, then drop it in their 20s. And 50% of them don't use any other drugs. Selling it is still illegal, but the pot dealer is no longer the panic-inducing bogeyman he used to be. In movieland, he's become a stock character, about as threatening as the hot woman's quirky roommate...

...ballad pinpoints just what the film industry has been lacking—excellence. In fact, the big studios have been giving us just about everything but excellence. “Snakes on a Plane,” anyone?

...Movieland America rolls along at its usual faster-than-real-life clip, with all of the conventions in place. It's not for Americans to question why we've never been defeated by this little den of evil that rests on our shores, but in case someone missed it, any federal agency that trains any group of killing machines is evil.
