oh my
an instance wherein urine pants does not refer to your state of dress but my state of dryness

I am skeptical as all hell.

I am always skeptical of all hell when things I love approach the cinema, however; I am a total movie cynic (it lessens the hurt and makes it all the more amazing when it works).

Don't get me wrong here, I never said I though it was a good idea. It still deserves a spit take though. I just hope Tom will be careful with it.

roger is pissed

That dosent really surprise me. I have never read what you are talking about, but he does this fairly often and does a better job than most. His sceen plays are just as good as anything else he writes, so i am looking forward to it.
