Matthew Broderick's movies are less than exciting? Have you ever seen War
Games or Torch Song Trilogy or even Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Three good
movies with great performances by Mr. Broderick. On the other hand, the
critic in TV Guide trashed Kristin Chenowith's TV show this week, so perhaps
Broadway will get to keep her. He did mention how fabulous she is in
musical theatre, and said that she would have been a good choice for Nellie
Forbush recently. As much as I love Glenn Close, Chenowith would certainly
have been a better choice.

I don't know. We all remember Nathan Lane's triumph
on television in.. what was it called? "Encore" or
something like that. It lasted all of two episodes, I
think. There are some people that just belong in
certain genres. For example, Matthew Broderick kills
in musical comedy. His movies are less than exciting.
How many Oscar nominations did "Inspector Gadget" get
as opposed to Tony nominations for "The Producers".
Because I like her, I hope this sitcom thing works for
Kristin, but I fear that it will go the way of others.
