Hate to say we told you so.

Corky Romano was the movie this country needed four weeks after 9/11.

Go back and look at other renditions of "I Wish It Was Christmas Today;" Tracy Morgan always looks that way.  Acting! as the Master Thespian would say.

Todd, when you quote someone "more or less," that's called a paraphrase.  You paraphrased Roger Ebert.  Sincerely, your high school English teacher.

JUST TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD THINK.

I bet he gets the occasional hip bone cut.  Like a paper cut, but from a supermodel's hip bone.
