Slingblade sucks
BB Thornton sucks
Just because you can act retarded doesn't make you an "act-or."
And he isn't even believable as retarded--except he *looks* retarded.
Personally, I think he should have stayed in films like Chopper Chicks
in Zombietown. And yes, that *is* a movie--and yes, BBT *is* in it!
> rich with troubling questions
No offense, but LOL!!!!!!
I'll tell ya something that's rich with troubling questions. BBT is
slated to direct the film version of Cormack McCarthy's georgous novel,
"All the Pretty Horses."

over and out,
