[These comments all came to me as I was sitting in my dentist's waiting room today.]

1. You say Blood Diamond, I say Kidney Stone.

2. Filmed in CellophaneVision!

3. Poor Broderick Crawford! This isn't exactly "All the King's Men."

4. Archibald Zounds is a band name waiting to happen.

5. I hope Jumbo got some extra peanuts after having to shoot that scene with Goliath.

6. I believe this script was written by a four-year-old, with a plush toy dragon, who was drunk.
