I had always assumed that all shrimp were peeled by hand. Because how could anyone build a machine to peel shrimp? You can't build a machine to peel shrimp. Shrimp are small, fragile, and slippery. Furthermore, the peeling process is complex. You have to grip those little shrimp legs and pull them in a slightly circular fashion to remove the shell. Removing the tail involves a strong reverse grip and the right amount of torque.

The dog days of summer brought America some films that were quite dog-like indeed. Or, should I say, Cats and Dog(s)-like! Ha! On with the reviews!

Pearl Harbor: With leaden acting, inept plotting, and a soul-crushing running time of 175 minutes, this picture certainly qualifies as a Pearl Har-bore!

American Pie 2: This lowbrow "comedy" would more accurately reflect my sentiments if it were titled, American Pie?
