Loves me some Bruce Willis, and so in honor of his return to fine form in 16 Blocks (which opens tomorrow; look for my review late tonight or early tomorrow at FlickFilosopher.com), herewith Bruno in all his glory: as snarky David Addison on Moonlighting, as a confused time-traveler in 12 Monkeys, and as a really confused hitman in the dreadful The Whole Ten Yards.

I was reading the TWOP recap of the first episode of the new season of The Amazing Race, and when I read this description of one of the racers (a GenXer racing with his girlfriend), I immediately thought of you, MaryAnn! ___________ "The other thing is that Dave isn't the purely bookish kind of nerd -- if you check CBS.com, you'll learn that Dave is the kind of nerd who's in bands, which is a little different sort of nerd than the astrophysicist type. Arguably, this means Dave is a geek more than a nerd, and possibly a dork more than either of those two, but it doesn't make me like him any less.
