This week’s MSN Movies gallery considers a few movies that, like the current “50/50“, treat terminal illnesses with something less than reverence.

Honestly? I wrote the whole thing just to see if the web guys could dig up a still from “Short Time”. And they did, bless their pointy little heads.

Still in New York, by the way. Warner’s premiering the digital restoration of “Ben-Hur” at Lincoln Center this morning, and I’m pleasantly obliged to help them celebrate. You can follow me on the Twitter to track my movements if you’re so inclined.
