I enjoyed the way it (prematurely) ended, but it'd be hard to get there in one movie, and to stretch it out over two or three would be pretty risky.<br>Also, your Mamie casting: spot on.

Dr. Abiaus,

May have to check this one out. Another one that I would suggest is A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. Again, extremely outrageous and ridiculous, but hilarious, and it has a good heart. Plus a large black man named Minty Fresh. Sounds pretty good. May have to check this one out. Another one that I would suggest is A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore.
