When I was in college there was this guy called <b>Everywhere Man</b>. He was a pretty nondescript character--just a tall white guy who wore a blue baseball cap all the time--except for the fact that a large portion of the students started seeing him everywhere. You'd go to the cafeteria and he'd be there. You'd walk across campus to the science hall and somehow he'd be there ahead of you. Go to your dorm, and in the lobby was Everywhere Man watching <i>The X-Files</i>. At one point there was this email list that would track and confirm sightings of the guy across campus, trying, in vain, to discern some pattern to his movements. He wasn't a stalker, because too many damn people saw him around in too many places, and the guy wasn't actually aware that this was happening (until the school rag ran a story on him and he finally sold out). But when I met him, it turns out he was a total fascist and a socially inept asshole. </p>

Bobby, you're becoming Everywhere Man. Every time I see a new movie poster on the subway, its got a <a href="../posters_suck/index.html" target="_top">half lit rendering of your mug</a> gracing its front. And all this would be fine except that, well to be perfectly frank, Bob, you just haven't been delivering. Its not your performances per se--because on the whole they've been good--but the choice of movies that you're making. You're simply setting your sights way too low. I mean, <i>Ronin</i>? <i><a href="../../recommends/9-7/index.html" target="_top">Jackie Brown</a></i>? We can forgive a <i>CopLand</i> or two on occasion, but lets face it Bobby, you're in a slump, and you've been in it for a while. I'm sorry, but look: you're making a movie with <b>Lisa Kudrow</b> . . . You've changed, man. You've changed.</p>
