Movies Befuddle Times
There's something adorable about how the Times mangles movie titles. This year's grisly Oscar Best Picture sounded much more approachable as Old Country For Old Men. Likewise, Tropical Thunder conjures visions of an action-adventure set perhaps in Cuba, not of a send-up comedy accused of trafficking in "vulgar" Jewish stereotypes. So far, none of the Times' big movie errors have made it into print. Perhaps the sleep-deprived, round-the-clock Web crew simply hasn't time for the luxury of movie screenings. Send those media soldiers out on some shore leave!
