Woody's was just a great portrait of the darkest side of human nature, and I thought there was plenty of humor even in the bleak situation of "The Squid and the Whale."Reel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10898244.post-1152283877386253522006-07-07T07:51:00.000-07:002006-07-07T07:51:00.000-07:00hey, i have a copyright on the "Aaron Schmidt Depr...hey, i have a copyright on the "Aaron Schmidt Depressing Movie Series (c)" so please pay your royalty for mentioning it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
