congratulations! you are the one millionth person to ask me that! your "prize"
is that i've added a "tips & techniques" section to the main page of my
craigo-lego site. (it's the final page link at the botom.)
i genuinely liked "J vs V" (meg ryan vs islanders!) and "cabinboy" (timmie does
time on red beard runner!) as comedic adventure flicks, but i don't think
they're "greatest adventure films" material. ~but, if you want funny funny
adventure movies, it don't get funnier than mel brooks' forestmen farce, "Men
in Tights".
later ~ craig
