Aye.....

[SeaHawkFan]

It would be as successful as the movie “Primary Colors”.

[Cheburashka]

Maybe I'll get to wear an eye patch.

No, for the FReepers they'll be recycling the Orc prosthetics from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Haha thought you guys would enjoy this. I just like how after Hollywood made so much coin with its anti-military screeds that it’s now just making liberal mythology. It’s a shame so much talent has to be so misguided. ZODIAC is a damn fine movie, this writer should stick to that. I believe he’s also adapting Richard Clarke’s book WE DROPPED THE BALL BUT IT WASN”T MY FAULT, or whatever it’s called.

[I Drive Too Fast]

Good movie - NO.

Insomnia cure - YES.

[SueRae]

I hope they do it. I can see the feature role of the Freeper pajamahedeen breaking the story...wouldn’t that be the bomb?

“No word yet on who might play Mr. Rather if the script ever makes it to production.’

Before Rather gets fired - Mae West

After Rather gets fired - Boris Karloff

Mary Mapes - Mr. Ed

FReepers - Mormon Tabernacle Choir and 1st Marine Division

I agree.
