I was watching EdTV the other day and noticed that Ron Howard has pulled off yet another great job of directing. He’s a very nice person too, with a great family.Which is almost a miracle considering the amount of time he has spent in Hollywierd. I’m looking forward to more! ---

I remember hearing him on Howard Stern one time. Apparently he has only been with one woman his whole life: his wife. I really like most of his movies. (I’m an extra in Backdraft, I was waiting for a bus to bring me to high school while they were filming on my block) * * * Trying is the first step to failure ---

The theater I worked at was screening EDTV while our restrooms were undergoing ADA renovation and unfortunately men and women were having to share a two stall restroom. He stood in line like everybody else and even more incredibly he was one of the only people to not complain about it. He’s aces in my book. * * * **Boycott Circuit City** (See my thread in the pit) ---

El Hubbo and I have called him Opie Cunningham ever since Eddie Murphy did it on SNL that time… I laughed my butt off. OPIE CUNNING-HAM! OPIE CUNNING-HAM! * * * You have the right to remain silent.
