I can’t find one! I checked all the previews I could find online too, and nothing. Man, I’m only a week or two into this Straight Dope thing, and I already broke the “Cite!” rule, didn’t I? ☹ Sorry.

Another thing for Canadian dopers - when the Fantastic Four “meet the press” out on the street, you’ll notice a bunch of MuchMusic VJs, as well as Ben Mulroney (yes, Brian’s son). And his chin is just as prominent as you’d imagine.

> I don’t know about Riddick, but the online review was changed. I read it the day the movie came out and it specifically said Cruise damaged a leg. It also said nature grants the number of legs in an animal so that they’re divisible by four. This second one I can accept as a brain fart, but the former statement is way too smelly for that.

According to Ebert’s most recent _Movie Answer Man_, he made an honest mistake. He meant to say “divisible by two,” but wrote “divisible by four.”

Did Stan/Willie demonstrate his super-power?

Wiggling his ears?
