We should give him an award or something. I will say, however, that his TV track record is much better--Arrested Development was great. And nice to hear from you, by the way.

No filmmaker makes more consistently mediocre films. Backdraft? Apollo 13? Ransom? Far and Away? Have you considered just naming it the Howard scale?

And I'm gonna try to keep the grammar discussions to a minimum from here on out. Much less exciting than Willow. And I don't think having a girlfriend scale is so bad, as long as the girl in question does not know about it. Gotta have <i>some</i> way to evaluate potential mates, right?

I used to use a similar method to evaluate girls that I'd date. It was called the Jenny scale. I know, I'm a prick. Anyway, keep the good ideas coming, though I think it's enough now with the grammar and spelling. I like the idea of the Willow scale.

Matthew: Exactly! Ryan: Perhaps you would have preferred that I append "secondhanded" with [sic], since it was a direct quote from someone else. But that seems like a bold thing to do to someone like Janet Maslin, who was for many years the film reviewer for the <i>New York Times</i>. I'm not going to mess with her, let alone her copyeditor. And this is a theory I've had for a long time. I've just been waiting for the right time to unveil it to the world. Me: Where does one even learn Esperanto anymore?

Also, to continue my enjoyment of correcting you, you may consider adding a space or hyphen to "secondhanded". And yes, I added the period out side of the quotations. I was told by a Copyeditor friend of mine at the Capitol Times (a Madison Newspaper) that given the context, it is acceptable punctuation. So bite me. http://www.theonion.com/content/node/35286/print/

It's one of my favorite's from childhood to be sure. If it was released today I'd agree with 2.5 stars. Dang Nostalgia. I own it on Dvd. It’s one of my favorite’s from childhood to be sure.
