Hey..thanks for commenting on my blog. Interesting post you've got on the big oscar goof-ups...would have to say though that A Beautiful Mind was truly great. As for SP Ryan, one of the best war movies I have seen. And Jim Carrey was amazing in ESotSM..a composed portrayal of the role.
I cannot identify with the current post, hence the comments on your last post:)
Wow and I went around telling people that the book of Jewish sports heroes was blank--one of the funniest jokes ever.
I mean we've written many other books and done many other things, but...
thanks that was great. Good blog, also.
