What you may need to know.

1. Those curr-azy guys from Wedding Crashers (2005) are back! And they both need a hit!

2. Goodman alert @ ’23. We love Goodman.

3. Nerds + homosexual panic gags = alleged comedy gold.

4. Dig the Old School (2003) vibe. You might as well rip off one of your own movies.

5. Wisely, they save the punch in the nuts for the end.

The man-child we’ve come to know as ‘Bodger’s indulgence’ leaves Ireland this weekend.

Ewok, who joined Broadsheet in September 2010, emigrates to a European capital with lower rents and relaxed marijuana laws ‘abroad’ for a new life on Sunday.

Maligned for his posts, humour and personal hygiene, Ewok showed up every day and brought a frisson to Karl’s den the Broadsheet office that we will miss.

He promises to continue contributing to Broadsheet but even more ‘remotely’ than normal.

And he would like to wish all those who follow him a fond goodbye.

Farewell strange, soulful misanthrope. Be strong,

Mmf.

From now on he’s going to have to do his pontificating.

From BEHIND BARS.

Possibly.

Pope Benedict, Joseph Ratzinger, has scheduled a meeting with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano (above) for Saturday, February 23 to discuss securing protection and immunity from prosecution [for child sex crimes] from the Italian government, according to Italian media sources.

Ratzinger’s meeting follows upon the apparent receipt by the Vatican of a diplomatic note from an undisclosed European government on February 4, stating its intention to issue an arrest warrant for Ratzinger, who resigned from his pontificate less than a week later.

In response to the February 23 meeting, the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS), through its field Secretary, Rev. Kevin Annett, has written to President Napolitano, asking him to refrain from assisting Ratzinger in evading justice.

Hmm.

Meanwhile:

Pope Benedict’s decision to live in the Vatican after he resigns will provide him with security and privacy. It will also offer legal protection from any attempt to prosecute him in connection with sexual abuse cases around the world, Church sources and legal experts say.
“His continued presence in the Vatican is necessary, otherwise he might be defenseless. He wouldn’t have his immunity, his prerogatives, his security, if he is anywhere else,” said one Vatican official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“It is absolutely necessary” that he stays in the Vatican, said the source, adding that Benedict should have a “dignified existence” in his remaining years.
