<<I saw the movie as well. Didn't like it much, but I did enjoy the surf scenes.>>> I especially liked the pandering to FedEX......cameo C.E.O. walk-ons.... The pep talk in Russian was nice..... but the crash scene did about as much for Fed Ex's image as the Rainman's exclaimed 'K-mart SUCKS' line did for the Big K's sales that month,........ I had to wonder about the point of the whole thing as Hanks at the end (of the two hour Fed Ex commercial) delivers the returned angel wings to the spurned housewife in Texas....after all he'd been through. (Exceptional packing job....you've got to admit) Someone behind me and to the right was evidently awed......." Damn! Fed Ex is good," I heard him mutter. And now you know exactly why crab is seldom on a sushi platter. I did love the line about 'what Gilligan did not tell us about coconuts', though. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
