Bill H. and kat: I agree regarding Altman. He was a breath of fresh air, so to speak. And yes, Bill H., I'm sure I'm dating myself when I complain about the "best" songs. The days of beautiful tunes in movies is probably long gone ...gone the way of the Western.
Also, I thought Jon Stewart did a fine job. After all, he didn't have a lot ot work with.
