I like the ewoks. I always liked the ewoks. Let us just get that out right away.

I don't need someone else to like what I like, though if you've got a thing for musicals and the occasional heavy metal, the occasional folk rock, we might get along.) Read the same books? (Again, not the most important thing. I mea...
