natty gann

Just in case anybody was wondering, Natty Gann was pretty much as wonderful in 2003 at 29 as it was in 1985 at 12. In fact, I’m convinced once more that Harry is one of John Cusack’s best roles. (Perhaps not coincidentally, 1985 was also the year he made my favorite Cusack film, The Sure Thing. Maybe I’ve just got a thing for 19-year-old-John-Cusack.) Natty Gann’s out on DVD. Apparently it’s a pan-and-scan, not a widescreen version, but I might get it anyway. *beam*

But right *now* I’m going over to Melissa’s to watch Nattie Gann. :)

Ted wanted to name him Porthos. He looks like a Porthos. I might suggest that to Shane. :)

They’re doing a 12 week challenge which requires no entry fee, although they’ve got a “Total Success Kit” you can buy for nine bucks. The grand prize is $50,000. I think it actually sounds like sort of…
