I am stoked to see this flick. Who's with me? I grew up in kind of a hippie household so we always listened to the show. The movie looks like it should be a winner.

Garrison Keillor - awesome.

Robert Altman - awesome.

Woody Harrelson - good

Tommy Lee Jones - very good.

Kevin Kline - awesome.

Lindsay Lohan - awesome (of course).

Virginia Madsen - good.

Meryl Streep - very good.

Lily Tomlin - oldy but a goody.

Hard to see how this flick could miss.

I honestly do not understand how anyone could listen to "The News From Lake Wobegon" and come away with a passionate dislike for Garrison Keillor. Maybe it's not some folks' cup of tea, but his writing/delivery are fantastic.

I do think some of the other stuff (particularly the music) sucks, but that won't stop me from seeing the movie.

I don't remember consistently thinking "Man, Dave rules" every time you expressed a preference for something during college. What gives?

Did the guy piss in your coffee on the set of "The Cowboy Way" or something? Why the personal venom?

I am also stoked.

I also grew up listening to it.

The episode of The Wire where the drug runner accidentally listens to the news from Lake Wobegon is fantastic.

Yeah, I just heard about this movie today. I'm not so sure this is a good idea, but I'm definitely up for watching it and will add my 2 cents to the review thread for it.
