    Some older films/tv/radio programs have cringe moments at times.
    I read where some group or other wants only certain people to play certain roles. An Asian for Asian roles, etc. Fair enough.

    When they re-did "The King and I", The Today show interviewed Chow
    Yun-Fat. Matt Lauer asked him what he would bring to the role of the
    King of Siam, that would make it different from the original, and he
    paused and said, "Well, I'm Asian."

    This life of wine, women, and song, is depressing. I guess I'm going

    Probably not a bad idea.

    And, to Santa..."Define naughty" <VBG>.

    If course I'm on his good list, being perfect and all...
