I know that Thompson is a raging idiot and filed an appeal on his own anyways. I just don't quite grasp the logic on why an appeal must filed by a peer and not by the person who was disbarred.

Uh, because you have to be a licensed attorney to file an appeal.  Disbarred people do not qualify.

rottentomatoes loses all credibility with me when crap like School of Rock gets a 90+ rating.

90% thought it was above average. What's wrong with that?

Richard Linklater, Mike White, Jack Black, and a rockin' soundtrack....what's the problem?

I love that movie.

ChadTower:

They took the guy from Tenacious D, told him he couldn't use any of his existing musical talent, and made a boilerplate "teacher gets through to his class" movie with no imagination and less entertainment value.

School of Rock was 90 minutes of nonoriginal fail.

Ginsu Victim:
What did you think you were getting? "Lean on Me" starring a different sort of "Black" actor?

"Sims, ain't you got no sense, boy?!? Pull up your pants!"

Oh Duh! Now it clicks together.

Since he blew it navigating legal waters as an attorney, I guess his chances of navigating the same not being an attorney is incalculable. Here's to his death disbarment.  :cheers:
