Sometimes we wonder what our high school friends have been doing with their lives. Recently, I checked up on two pals of mine, Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher, who were notorious comedians within our Atlantan community.
Street: Can you tell us a little about vagina dentata and how it originated? Persephone Braham: The vagina dentata has many manifestations, from the classical Greek figure Scylla (a beautiful woman from the waist up, with the slavering jaws of three dogs for genitals) to Eve and Mother Nature --- with her grottoes, caves, quicksand bogs and amphibious serpents.
Recently, Street had the pleasure to interview the writer/director of Teeth, Mitchell Lichtenstein, and producer, Joyce Pierpoline, who graduated from Penn.
Dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is acceptable only twice during the average person's lifetime: for the duration of 1983 and at your brother's bar mitzvah.

So the Oscar nominations are out and Atonement didn't score as many nods as we would have liked. Nonetheless, we're optimistic about the upcoming year's crop of flicks.
Charlie Wilson's War: ?
If only politics were still this entertaining.
Sweeney Todd:?
For anyone who hated Borat, you can watch Johnny Depp slit Sacha Baron Cohen's throat.
There Will Be Blood: ?
A movie about big oil screwing over the common man; in other words, every Whartonite's dream.
The Diving Bell
and the Butterfly:
A blinking, quadrapalegic writer exhibits better tear-duct control than every audience member.
My good friend Joseph McCarthy was the greatest American ever to live. He fought to rid America of the godless Communists committed to the destruction of our way of life.
Freddy Prinze, Jr.:
He first struck the Hollywood scene in an episode of Family Matters in 1995, then he lit up the silver screen in I Know What You Did Last Summer.
