We may indeed take on another personality like the ones "non-classic Chris" mentioned in the near future...haven't seen the Watergate spoof, but we will try to check it out when we can. T.R.

MLK is deserving of the 10, though some of the other things surrounding his life - some of the craziness that's gone on among his family in recent years - would probably rankd a bit differently. Great summary, and great review. So nice for you to give airtime to the controversial "blonde Bond" of today. Really makes me want to see it, and I like the idea of the more action hero bond. Sure, Moore and Connery were cool characters, but nothing short of clunky when it came to the action sequences. Looking forward to it. As far as Chris' suggestions, I really like those! Would LOVE to hear your review of Reagan, or even maybe dare I say Nixon? Along that line, how about a review of Nixon inclusive of the movies about Watergate - All the Presidents' Men and the take-off Dick (have you all seen that one? A hilarious spoof of Watergate with Will Ferrell and Kirsten Dunst, among others). Don't stop now! Talk to you on 31! - classic chris greg, clea,

awesome. just awesome.

Once you give someone a 10 you've set the bar for absolute human perfection, where do you go from there? Instead maybe it would be better to go with someone interesting who's got some real obvious flaws. How a widely derided yet highly respected figure like like Noam Chompsky or Ralph Nader? If those don't grab you may I suggest Oscar Wilde, Friedrich Nietzshe, Sigmund Freud, or Ronal Reagan. I think any of them would make a really good show. :) I guess I never thought of it that way.

The overwhelming evidence of his life makes MLK an enormously positive force, however, and we think that is what a 9 reflects. As for who would deserve a 10...hmm. Gandhi, perhaps? Thanks for the feedback, and welcome to the UFR family! T.R.

If he doesn't deserve a 10, as an objective evaluation of his weight and value as a human being, then who would? A 9 for MLK?
