Is it just me, or was Barb Wire almost a word-for-word remake of
Casablanca? Right down to the bad guys' uniforms and the bent-but-
fundamentally-decent cop :)

I mean, Steel Harbour = Marrakesh. The Hammerhead = Rick's Bar. My wife
made me watch Casablanca again and I have to agree, she's right.

This one came up before. Right now I'm trying to remember
the line someone posted that refered to one of Pamela's
breasts as Bogart... or something like that. It was in
someone's .sig. Come on, fess up, I know you're out there
:)

"Casablanca with Pamela Lee Anderson's breasts as Bogie's character." was
one of my everchanging .sigs.
