Bacon is phenomenal. He appears to be a decent guy who hasn't been busted doing anything stupid and he keeps delivering performances that resonate. Hollywood suits need to recognize that and put him in something that'll matter...
...But if not?
He'll keep working.
The guy's solid.
Wo_Ow! It took NASA to figure out there was life on Earth... We're so in trouble.
Kevin Bacon is a FANTASTIC actor. I loved him in "Six Degrees of Seperation" and my all time favorite "Footloose". I was thinking about getting the Logitech Revue because I do work at DISH but the price of $179 seemed a little hefty. Well I played around with it and I liked it and when I got it home and hooked it up, i loved it. It definitely was an investment worth making and now I use my keyboard so much, I have no idea where my remote is.
