About his name ...
I just watched 'The Weather Man' again, which I hugely enjoyed - well written, acted, and directed. Actually, I like pretty much all of Gore's movies, be it the first 'Pirates', 'Mousehunt' or 'Rango'. Wide range, entertaining, and with quite some depth.
Anyway: wouldn't it be huge if he married Al Gore? Then he could take his last name and would be named 'Gore Gore'! Sounds a bit like a parrot, admittedly, but what was it Butch Coolidge said about american names in 'Pulp Fiction' ...
