40 Days and 40 Nights stars Josh Hartnett as Matt, a Web designer who gives up screwing for Lent. The Catholic League isn't happy that the semiautobiographical script by Rob Perez uses the period of Lenten fast to set up a one-joke sex farce. It doesn't help that Matt begins his crusade by winking at a crucifix and saying, "Dude." After Matt meets a hottie, Erica (Shannyn Sossamon), his friends take bets on how long he can collect bodily fluids without shooting the works. Yup, director Michael Lehmann, far from the glory days of Heathers, has made a movie about a hard-on, in which he relentlessly pounds a flaccid premise.

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
