Thanks for the recommendation. I will search it out. Dancing, documentary, real individuals; I'd be into that in a huge way. GSR- Truly, go figure. Thanks for the recommendation.

It was called <i>Planet B-Boy</i> and it actually did a great job of combining the dancing (fucking awesome) and the back story to the real individuals. It followed teams from Japan, South Korea, France, and the U.S. (who - go figure - were the biggest tools of the entire movie).

Oh, and regarding my best friend, here's what is going down: He's in love with the bride. But he isn't the groom. But he called me and begged me to come with him, because he couldn't bear to see her be given away. So, actually, he's feeling Tom's pain more than I'm feeling Tom's pain, but I'm a little nervous about how I'm going to behave. If I'm exposed to all this lovey-dovey wedding shit, I might do something silly. Like telling him I love him, which would be more than awkward considering that we're going to be sharing the hotel room. That's a movie right there. Moving on. <b>brandon</b>- Agreed. War movies are <i>so</i> delusional. It's like, joining the army isn't any different from becoming a baseball player. Or becoming the Terminator. When you finish writing the script, do let me know, because I have a PR campaign already for it. It's time that humans took back their movies from the Hollywood Fembots and Bond.

I could write a war movie script. And my hero would be totally different. None of this machismo crap. Real soldiers aren’t about bulging muscles and testosterone. It’s all about honor. Real heroes are made of pure honor. In fact, when I finish writing the script, that’s what I’ll call it: Made of Honor.’ Hollywood continues to disappoint me. i hate that title too! that title should have been reserved for a war movie (this is from a post i wrote in november 2005):

I think most states have no fault divorce where you just plead irreconcilable differences. I could be wrong, of course. Oh, and I am not sure I know about many divorces getting rejected everyday.
