...limiting, I find it liberating. My neighborhood may not be as diverse as a New York subway car, but at least I’m friends with the 20 families on my block. I might not be able to find public transportation at 3 a.m., but I never hit traffic driving up my street. I cannot eat at the latest ethnic fusion restaurant, but I can go apple picking. Suburbia has reduced the choices I have to make in life, and in effect, simplified things. Of course, it would be foolish to say that Hamden has more going on than...

It's this 1980 parody that both defined and dented that disaster genre. Writer-directors David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker (who later profitably spoofed cops in their Police Squad TV show and Naked Gun movie series) set the tone for a generation of movie silliness. Their coolest inspiration: casting "serious" actors, like Lloyd Bridges and Peter Graves, who spat out the ludicrous dialogue in flawless deadpan. Bridges: "Looks like I picked...
