*phew* i’m so relieved to see o.j. won. when i casted my vote, he was pretty low on the list, so i was a little worried there.
it’s a real shame about paul reubens blunder because he’s really a great actor, he just has a bad reputation now. i’m so sick of paul reubens bashers.
i’m also very excited to see what your picks will be for the “so bad they’re good” good movies because that’s my FAVOURITE genre of films!
