"If it is a cowboy show, I want guns!! And I don't mean biceps."

The last blind date I ever went on was to see Clint Eastwood in the Bridges of Madison County.... the girl had read the book. About half way through I leaned over and asked where Clint was keeping his guns. "What?" she said.

I explained that we had seen him take a shower and seen the inside of his truck and I couldn't figure out where his guns were "for when the killin' starts."

In retrospect I should have noticed that she had been sobbing quietly over the great "passion" of the movie as he took photographs of bridges.... there never was a second date.

Oh, man. She would have had you two watching "Mad About You" so fast your head would spin!

Oh, that is absolutely hilarious!

These activist gays just can't accept that there can be deep, meaningful friendship between men without it being about stuffing a you-know-what in a you-know-where.

Smart move.

I saw "Bridges" on cable and thought it was a snoozer (and I like Clint Eastwood!).

Now "Black Hawk Down" or "We Were Soldiers," that's not only great movie making, but real tear jerkers.

That must have been grueling sitting through that. You must be one patient person.

I'm a chick and I HATED The Bridges of Madison County.

It was a horrible, boring movie, notwithstanding the whole cheating on your husband thing.

I think Heath Ledger is totally hot but that makes me especially adverse to seeing him rub himself all over another guy, even if he is just acting.
