Yes, I watched the movie 'Big Trouble' again, and I see the similarities between my style and Dave Barry's...but his seems a little stretched, unreal, whereas mine is nuts but plausible. I haven't read his book yet, but the film had ongoing jokes, like the 'Discovery' channel thing, for strange information given by the characters. It was said once too often, I was waiting for a character to say 'Disney' channel, now that would've been funny. The characters were all a little flat too, Tim Allen's character had some real dumb stereotypical lines.
Overall, I liked the movie, though it was a bit flat, and I hope that if anyone ever makes a movie out of one of my books (yes, I'm still working on scripts), that it'll be better than that. Wait, what am I saying! I'll be lucky if I can get 1% of the sales Dave Barry did! Congrats to Dave!
