1. Ok, that's just funny!
I'd love to see that video!

I remember the year Gates ran one of his annual meetings dressed as Mr. Spock. I think he has a flair for the dramatic or is a frustrated actor!

2. Why not get down on him for being in the new Reese Witherspoon flick?

5. Yeah... thats why I cant get down on him for doing the Gates spot.
An actor gotta grab the bread where he can get it.

9. Yeah, I think I saw it too long after all the hype had been out there.
Plus, MTV distributing and licensing merchandise for what had been an indie film leaves a bad taste for me.(I just saw an article a few weeks ago about Napoleon bed sheets for your dorm! Hooray!).

But, my whining aside, it did have some funny moments so I'll give it that, and a second chance in a few years once we've all mostly forgotten about it. I don't know. It was good, but I just wanted it to be better.
