Hey!! I LIKE Gwinnie in her movies, man! Have you SEEN "Mrs. Parker & the Vicious Circle"? ...flat out one of the greatest movies of all time!! She got, I believe it was, her first post-adolescent role (after "Hook") in that movie, along with some girl named Heather Graham that no one had every heard of before... Freakin' ReMARKable that movie was... so I happen to think she deSERVed that Oscar® for "Shakespeare..."
Hey, but who cares what-I-think...
Some years ago, when the internet was but a gleam in DARPA's eye, there was a network called PAN (the "Performing Artists' Network"), on which I had an interchange with none other than Barry Manilow. He was looking up movie scripts to produce, as I recall and, BTW... I had one.
I told him he just wouldn't like it 'cause... y'know... 'it didn't involve the 'Copa'... and he sent me a very strong email which I think I can still quote verbatim, as it has stuck with me so completely well:
"Never - NEVER - badmouth anyone in the Industry as, you'll never know if that very, one, person is the one you're going to count on to save your (professional) life some day."
I have taken that advice to heart...

Heh, I'm actually only 20. My nickname at work, is Timmy or Tim Tim Timmy cuz my name is Timothy. funny how that works. And Old Hag is my GamerTag on Xbox. I didn't know what else to call myself on here so I just chose that. See, there's a method to my madness!
I'm glad that you like System of a Down. I think that even though their really popular that their still really damn good. Be sure to get there other half of there album coming out Nov. 22. Also the same time the X-box 360 is coming out, which i already have reserved and payed for( not that i'm bragging or anything) what the hell, i'm bragging and happy about it. I can't wait till it comes out!!!

I can't wait to see Narnia either! I think it's gonna be so great! Oh, and OldHag, glad to see you've learned a lesson or two :). The important thing is you always change your mind.
I give to you the Seeker of Serenity, the Valkyrie Warrior, the Gourmet Cook and the Truth Scoper.

Is there a name for what Howard's suffering from?

I think it's called prentensiosity. Or something like that.

Well, call the devil and sign me up for The Sinister Satan Army. I particularly (as a lit person) liked Shakespeare in Love, and I voted for Clinton at least once.
For those of you that aren't used to it, though, welcome to the wonderful world that is Howard. He's just this much fun on the RWED board, too. It takes special skills to piss off Citizen and Auraptor in the same thread, but he managed. On several occasions.

He looked bigger when I couldn't see him.
