    Anybody have Will Farrell Overload?

    I like Will, although, there are many times I don't want to think during a movie. I just want to be mindlessly entertained. If you'd like to see him in a different role, rent "Stranger Than Fiction". I thought it was pretty good and it was nice to see him in a role out of his "normal"...

    Is my Tree Coral Dying

    My guess is that it is probably getting ready to multiply. I have a kenya tree and it will shrivel up for a few days right before it starts dropping limbs. I would watch it for a few days and not worry about it too much.
