I'd agree with you on just about every one of these, but I think I remember vaguely liking City Hall (but clearly not enough to recommend it!)Reel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-61003607292274136722007-06-09T16:36:00.001-05:002007-06-09T16:36:00.001-05:00dale, just give me a couple actors that you'd be i...dale, just give me a couple actors that you'd be interested in not reading, and at my earliest convenience I will not post about them.Splotchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427992716600704581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-68156164542322582732007-06-09T13:21:00.000-05:002007-06-09T13:21:00.000-05:00I'm happy to say that I've seen even fewer of thos...I'm happy to say that I've seen even fewer of those than you have but wholeheartedly agree with your assessments.

Talk about damning with faint praise...<BR/><BR/>Remember the scene in Heat where he grabs his television, which his wife's new boyfriend is watching?
