...dramatists, you make a pact with your audience that you don't cross certain lines, and we don't," says Mark Cullen. Heist's crooks don't kill--in the pilot, they foil a murder--and they take, Robin Hood-- like, only from the rich. (So they skip the give-to-the-poor bit. Nobody's perfect!) In fact, Heist's greatest crime is robbing innocent movies of their clichés: the Tarantino-gone-PG banter, the whooshing camera shots, the generic peppy jazz that sounds as if it were lifted from a Putumayo Presents Lighthearted Caper Music...

...freshman! What house did you get into? Cabot? Hey, that’s great! I heard they have a lot of “community”??? Psych, kill yourself! Once again it’s that exciting time of year when freshmen receive a packet of paper that decides their housing fate. For everyone involved, housing assignments are slightly more stressful than getting your SAT scores and slightly less stressful than opening up the results to your post-spring break syphilis test. As we’ve been through this inferno before, the Bell Lap can be your latter...
