ReplyDeleteMany, many thanks for the shout-out this week, guys--I need all the help I can get sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your review of the Bill Hicks movie and will definitely have to seek this out should it play in my neck of the swamp. Though I should warn you--there are a good many Hicks fans who might take issue with your comparing him to Denis Leary, since quite a few of them are convinced that Leary cribbed shamelessly Hicks' material.
Oh, and I think you're going to enjoy Crimes and Misdemeanors. It's the last Woody Allen film I can honestly say I truly enjoyed.
