Aside from seeing Denise what's-her-name in the shower scene, there's nothing to recommend that movie.
And it's an insult to the novel.
Then again, Denise what's-her-name has a very nice rack...

Posted by: Rhett at December 16, 2005 3:02 AMBuild my compound?? You mean as in end of the world type stuff?
And what does that last category mean?
Kevin,
Denise Richards wasn't in the shower scene.
Mikem,
Compound as in a nice house on about 25 acres or more of land with a nice backstop so that I can step into my backyard and shoot without disturbing my neighbors. Compound (ala Waco) sounds funnier and torks the anti-gunners who think we're all nuts any way.
The last category is I'm supposed to randomly pick 7 people I want to see do this.
Ravenwood,
Two words: Funny
Skip the pilot's license. You trade enormous amounts of money for abject boredom and stale coffee.
And, starting around 1970, the busybody spirit entering regulation.
