Come to the DC Comedy Fest April 12-14th

There's nothing worse than when Hollywood takes a successful television program and adapts it into a full length feature film. They did it with Dukes of Hazzard, Miami Vice and now there back at it again.

When I saw the previews for "Perfect Stranger" I knew that I had seen enough. This thriller stars Bruce Willis and Halle Berry. Berry plays a journalist who goes undercover to expose Willis, a business man, as her best friend's killer.

None of the elements from the original show are in the movie. It's set in New York instead of Chicago; they got rid of Balki and Larry; and the plot isn't even remotely the same. Perfect Strangers was nominated for 3 emmy's during the 7 years it was on television. That's the kind of success you don't fuck with Hollywood!

I know I'm gonna be banned from every entertainment venue in the counrty for speaking the truth and taking it to "The Machine", but I don't care. It's my life, my dream, nothing's gonna stop me now. (harmonica riff plays then keyboard, roll credits)

Last night at Soho, Jon Mumma's closer made me laugh so hard I cried. Today when I realized that he's never going to do that closer again because it involves breaking the stage, I cried.

All the important information is located in the title.
