Bob Grimm

"I think it was in Ebert's "North" review where he said "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie." That was a beautiful thing. You're gonna need a bigger boat-Roy Scheider in Jaws Where is Pancakes House? Peter Stormare in Fargo That's me...I'm me! Michael Rappaport in True Romance Look to me...I'll show you the life of the mind! John Goodman in Barton Fink"
