HEY THERE!
Okay, it seems important for me to point out that this thread is "Bad-Sounding Movie Ideas" and that doesn't always mean that the movie would be bad.
It also allows for the possibility that the descriptions I'm getting from the usual sources aren't always right.
So, if I ever describe one that you're connected to or even just one you think sounds okay, please consider the above and also allow for personal taste.
Sooner or later I'm bound to be wrong about something. (Hey, it could happen!)
:o

Okay, I know that Tony Bedard got his name from Bond, but his comic is pretty darn good...
Robert Downey, Jr. -- and I wish him good luck with his drug problem -- still is way short of his potential.
