      - There's always photoshop :-) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 07:07 2

  - it was basically a google commercial. -- nm - Andie Aug 18, 07:19 2
    - Right, but I got past that rather easily. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 07:24 1
      - It's so well-intended. - Kim Pine Aug 18, 07:32
- I kind of really want to see it. I love that wilson so much. have you seen you, me, and dupree? that's *still* growing on me. -- nm - peggy ann m Aug 18, 06:56 1
  - You, Me and Dupree didn't do a lot for me. What works with The Internship is that it is innately well-intended. - David Aug 18, 07:37
