This doesn’t mean that I think Glen should have not gone into acting, or that he’s a bad person… I don’t mean anything personal by it.

Looking at the awards list on IMDB shows more stuff for Matt Damon than Glen Campbell.

I suppose that could be that awards shows are more common now than before, but it could also mean that Matt has somewhat more skill than Glen in acting.

What I hate even more is when they use a song in the trailer _that isn’t even used in the film!_

And nine times out of ten, that song is “Solsbury Hill”.

Meh. Back in the '90s it seemed like pretty much every trailer for an “inspirational” film was using the theme from **Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.**
