Dude, Billy Zane is dope in "Dead Calm." Too bad he would not be excellent again until he played himself in "Zoolander."

I wasn't being sarcastic; I love the Zane! I was so happy we got to meet him that day when you were trying to get into his film festival at the Arclight by doing volunteer work...

Hey, I saw "Coma" and really liked it. Genevieve Bujold is great, and I thought Michael Douglas was solid. Bizarre to see Tom Selleck. As per your suggestion, I have "Dead Ringers", and will check that out soon.
