 Bob,
         Unfortunately, my memory of that movie differs a bit! I went with
my non-windsurfing spouse to what we both believed to be what I piggishly
categorize as a "chick flick". I'm on my own when it comes to Arnold's
various adventures, etc........

         Anyway, just sitting there enjoying a very funny and "classy" show
when windsurfing is suddenly mentioned. Needless to say, I sat bolt
upright, but was appalled to hear that the person being described was one
of the "idiots" being disparaged throughout the movie (the point being to
make fun of unsuspecting weirdos at a dinner) as he only talked about
windsurfing, instead of more intellectual stuff. That hit wayyyyy to
close to home, and brought a sympathetic cackle from my wife.

         So, I'm not sure we needed that gratuitous "publicity". However,
now that I think more about it, there is the "extra energy" perspective.
Or, maybe I just need to view it again and listen closer???

         It's still a great movie to go see and I agree with the "review".

                 David
