GDG- movies

[cygnus]

I wasnt complaining.  But obviously you knew exactly who i was refering to 
when I mentioned it. :).   I was complaining about the guy dying in GAG and 
being in The Movie .   I mean come on.  He wasn't such a good actor that he 
HAD to be in both.   Couldn't they just made him, oh I don't know..  LIVE in 
GAG  ?

I'm no Ron Maxwell but I think I could have pulled that part off.
