"time check", is this some sort of Belfast Cowboy version of "Marco Polo"? Just wondering, or did M. Shite Manfulobogusbastard put some sort wierd hex on your fevered imagination? Blink once for yes, twice for no.

eric, if i ever die (which, granted, is pretty far-fetched), i will ask that your comment be etched on mine tomb stone. Actually, i'd better ask before i die.

woe to the filmmaker who conjures the wrath of the Duke from within the gentle pool of favorable predisposition

It has come to my attention that Bruce Willis, while having worked on "projects" classified as "crap", "bullshit", "monkey-poo-flingingly awful" and "paycheques" in IMDB, he was granted clemency for his key role in bringing Pauly Shore and Andrew "Dice" Clay to justice in a carefully coordinated takedown in their West Hollywood "love-pad".

Phil, that kinda compliment slinging means a lot to me, is what, although i think you're selling yourself short. I enjoy your writing immensley. Jim, harsh words, man. I actually really liked m night's last three flicks. Unbreakable, i think, is a brilliant work. Everyone yacks on about the twist, tho, and i gotta admit it didnt feel like much of a revelation, really. just a natural develoment type deal. Unlike this nonsense right here. Insulted is the word, man.

While Charles M. Shultz made a decades long career out of Lucy yanking the football away from Charlie Brown, I can only think M. Mightbe Shalmalangadingdong is only delusional. I hated with passion only the really cheated can feel, whatever that dumbass Bruce Willis movie was, no, not that one, the other one. There's no way this charlatan will ever get his hands on any of my money for his Hollywood three-card monte.

If only Praying With Anger was available on DVD to mock mercilessly! Thanks, Duke. Your stuff always makes me laugh -- and turn green with envy. I couldn't really hope to duplicate your style, on account of I'm not into swearing and such, and plus it's your style, not mine. But that doesn't stop me from wishing. Wishing I was a better writer, is what. Anyway, keep up the fine work.
