That sounds like a post in and of itself

Really? Wow, that's a pick. Just can't stand all that Christmas spirit huh? Oh and me? L'avventura.

>>3. (operating under the assumption you're in L.A. since

Everybody I know in L.A. SWEARS he's the greatest man ever. I'm skeptical anybody can be that nice of a guy.

I suppose my question is based out of a fear that movies will turn into what television has turned into. How likely do you think this is?

>>7. The best and your favorite Bill Murray movie is...
>
>Goddamn. Hmmm. Probably Ghostbusters and Rushmore.

Good choice.
