I’m pretty sure you’re right about Mr. Black, **Shibb**. So I will go with…trying to decide between two mediocre movies…ok. _Orange County_. ---

Drat, I’ve not seen that one. I was hoping you’d go with _Day of the Jackal_. I love the scene where He gets his hand blown off by his own device. A bit gruesome but morbidly funny. _Saving Guffman_ would have worked nicely, too. ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > _Saving Guffman_ would have worked nicely, too. I think you mean _Saving Silverman_ (I had to look that up since I knew he wasn’t in _ **Waiting for** Guffman_). However, quite by coincidence, thanks to **Ezekiel** ’s post I can actually use _Waiting for Guffman_. ---

Wow. Imagine that…half a year in and we get a simulpost. Or nearly. But _Best in Show_ was used in post #1464. ---

Who was it that was waiting for that, was it you, **NT**?
