We were having dinner with my nephew the other night and the conversation steered toward his numerous relationships.

He replied with that standard chauvinistic response, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"

My wife looked at him directly and retorted, "Yeah, why buy the whole pig for just a little sausage?"

My nephew stammered, "Exactly! I agree. Wait a minute..."

That's my girl.

Thorough Movie Reviews Revisited

Are you one of the group of people, like myself, who insist that they are not influenced by movie critics and make your film choices based on whim, fancy, instinct or some other method completely unrelated to some "professional's" opinion?
