...Secret of NIMH" was one of my favorite movies. It was the kind of film that my brother, sister and I rented so many times from the video store that we might as well have bought it. Actually if I had followed the advice of Nicodemus and his wise band of rats, I would have run away from NIMH, not toward it. Literal lab rats, Nicodemus and company, were the tortured subjects of the cold, calculating scientists of NIMH. My siblings and I applauded their valiant escape from NIMH's fearsome clutches...

Well, Richard may be the Machiavellian (and not a little Malkovichian) puppetmaster of "Survivor," and he's certainly holding the show together entertainment-wise with his catty punditry and villainous wit.
