  1. I’ve seen a few of the Razzie nominees. (I’ve seen almost none of the Oscar nominees.) “Witless Protection” is awful, “Speed Racer” is overdone but decent eye-candy (though its 2-hour-plus length feels like a grand feast of lollipops), and “The Happening” is occasionally well-done but mostly hilarious.

  2. After reading that list of worst foods, I am incredibly happy that most of those places aren’t in Canada. Whew that was scary!
