So what's the threshold for laughs to qualify as a comedy? And just because a comedy show was released in theatres, do that make it a movie? This list is just bonkers, and not in a good way.

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You

You may say I'm a dreamer

Happy bday Beau! Keep your machete at the ready.
All right, this is 53. I could use a new back, sure, but if you’ve read one of my books I’d instead take a review of one of them if you’re feeling frisky.

Why would they remake the Rosanna Arquette thriller, THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE?

A phenomenon, I'm not sure if, but oddly I've had many new accounts signed up for on @shotgunhoney.com recently that the welcome email bounces because of a full mailbox. Don't you people delete spam and junk mail. I've got 15 years of story submissions and I'm only at 40% on my box quota.
