I stole the phrase "two-tons-of-fun" from Sideways, where the incorrigible groom-to-be, Jack, uses it about Cammi the waitress. By the way, a semi-buddy of mine, the remarkable Simon Callow, was featured as the funeral in Four Weddings and a Funeral. Simon (who created the role of Mozart in the original stage production of Amadeus)looks wonderfully alive in the film's poster (see above).

Really? ;) )<br /><br />Sobering end to that episode. I was the ambassador for several Make-a-Wish teens who came to visit the set of Dawson's Creek. Around the fourth or fifth visit I made the mistake of asking what was wrong with our guest - and was told she had two weeks to live no ifs, ands, or buts. I put on a happy face and did everything I could to help that young lady have a gold star visit - and I never asked that question again on any subsequent visit.
