Does this mean kickboxing ("The sport of the future") would be mandatory on the Presidential Fitness Test?

You know the GREAT thing about this? I mean in addition to being a great gag. It's actually a community service campaign and 5000 people have volunteered to do ten hours of work. I love this.

Irony isn't dead... but it got a job.

Sign me up...

You know, I might have signed up as well, if they hadn’t used an image from Say Anything. I found that movie to be excruciatingly boring, and I like Solaris. No, really, I don’t get what it is with everyone and that flick. BO. RING.

You want to know a secret? I never saw Say Anything.

Oops. I just put that on the Internet. The secret is out. (Hey, the New York Times today says that personal infomation on the web can be searchable! Who knew?)

However, I do like the idea of Cusak standing out on the White House lawn, blasting "Your Eyes" on a boom box. (I didn't see it, but it's seeped into my consciousness anyway.) How soon before the Secret Service would take him out? Assume he's not wearing a suspicious duck.

RE: Say Anything, it's really a right-time, right-place kind of thing. Lloyd Dobler has a kind of ridiculous optimism that, IMHO, foreshadowed many of Cusak's roles throughout his career. These are characters who struggle with who they're supposed to be, then find out that, in fact, they're simply who they are. Not a bad trope. Also, I've pared away any memories of the film being boring by not having watched it in seventeen years, so that helps, too.
