- No kidding. Dont forget over-priced and blatant commercial tie-ins (I
- think if I ever hear `Now we get into our brand new Nissan Pathfinder
- and <blah blah blah>' again, I'm gonna puke). I used to like his films
- but he hasn't changed the formula at all. And his "You just keep
- doing what your doing [buying tickets to his movies] so I can keep
- doing what I'm doing" makes me feel like such a sucker every time I pay
- for one of his shows that I've stopped going.

- However, I have to say one of my favorite skiing quips is his `The
- family that skiis together bitches together'. Still the IQ vs shoe
- size jokes get way old, fast.
