  1. You mean you don't believe all those scripts where the cop has lost his wife and kid to bad guys and spends the rest of his life seeking exquisite revenge? Remind me not to ask you for a review if I ever write a movie script. :-p

  2. Well, when I'm sitting in the theatre watching those movies, I do believe them. And I like the movies. Then, when I get out of the theatre, I think about what a bad person I am.
