Brendan Fraser's done this already -- it's called Encino Man, and it's Pauly Shore's finest work. But here's a tip for a nifty impeachment coda: Rounders is now out on video. Not a bad flick -- and keep your eye peeled for a Vernon Jordan cameo as the third judge on the right. Alas, poor impeachment. We knew ye all too well...
