		In fact, with particularly "thick" material it can help slow things down, where non-verbalization would leave you plunging ahead beyond your ability to keep up with the subject.
		At the same time that verbalization slows you down, consider that it might also be helping retention, simply because it repeats the ideas as they are formed in your mind.
		Just as people might read aloud, or write by hand, information they really want to know better, so vocalization is not always such a bad thing.

	Very Bad Things: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Making his directorial debut with Very Bad Things, writer-director Peter Berg creates a dark comedy in which situations are resolved in the worst possible ways.
		While the characters are shown getting drugged and drunk in their hotel suite, one takes the prostitute into the restroom where they begin to have sex and where a sudden twist of events launches the rest of the story into repeated attempts of covering up an unintentional murder.
		Alluding more to the spectator's morbid side than to a genuine curiousity (of how the conflicts will be resolved), Very Bad Things relies exclusively on its capacity to shock (due to its graphic nature), and to be utterly "unpolitically correct" by building its comedy from the practical immorality of its characters.

		But inside the white flappy thing a Cat Show is taking place, the perfect setting for Mog to make her family very proud indeed.
