Regarding In Good Company, I saw it last week and it isn’t all that bad…I kinda liked it actually. It wont’ get a nomination I don’t think as it wasn’t that powerful but it is a decent movie and by no means the worst movie of the year. **faldureon** is right though, the trailer doesn’t look all that good. As for my nomination, the winner has to be **Son of the Mask**. I wept during the trailer. ---

How about a black version of [The Honeymooners](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0373908/)? ---

The Honeymooners better kick ass. It has Cedric, so it’s an OK start. ---

I was commenting on the virus story. If in fact Garner does have nerve damage, that really sucks, and I withdraw my sarcasm. ---

I think I hear something in the buzz from my monitor. It vaguely sounds like Dad threatening to haunt me forever if I waste $8 of my inheritance on seeing _White Noise_. ---
