Bob & Mira

It also has Mira Sorvino in it. About 20 minutes into watching it, Gregg called me. In the course of our conversation, I said that Mira Sorvino’s mouth bothers me. The way it moves when she speaks distracts me from what she’s saying and annoys me. He laughed and said, “What? I think she’s hot, personally.”
