I love Dabney Coleman as much as everyone, but it seems a little strange that there was a brief period where he actually had the starring role in a few movies. Strangest of these titles was probably John Boorman’s WHERE THE HEART IS, released in February 1990. What sort of relationship did these two guys have? Did they ever bond over steaks at Dan Tana’s? WHERE THE HEART IS has to be considered a comedy...

Watching the Cornholes watch the convention. The emerging wingnut consensus appears to be that Obama will be defeated by tying him to Some Old Hippie Nobody’e Ever Heard Of.
