  - have you seen The Rundown? -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 16:56 11
    - once a million years ago. it was fun, I suppose; a romp. but the rock just... isn't believable even playing himself. -- nm - amanda Aug 27, 16:59
    - I was about to say, he needs to do more things like The Rundown, not be the next big action hero. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 16:56 9
      - I agree. He can do both, but he needs more Rundown stuff -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 16:58 8

        he was good in Get Smart -- nm - mud Aug 27, 17:22

        maybe we will have movie night for the rundown this weekend. if I hate it, though, I will make up dreidel songs about you both. -- nm - amanda Aug 27, 17:00 1
        
        If you don't like the Rundown you should probably just stop watching movies! - Stephen Aug 27, 17:01

  - When I first looked for it I don't think we had more than a couple of copies in the whole county system. Do new authors generally get much - Meg Aug 27, 16:43 3
    - If they are well-reviewed in prominent sources, larger libraries buy a few copies. (Libraries probably buy new authors more than individuals.) -- nm - mara Aug 27, 16:57
    - it's not a new author. it's JK rowling. -- nm - amanda Aug 27, 16:52 1
