Yes, very cool.

I'm no movie critic, and those of you serious ones can critique or even lambaste me for this if you think I'm off, but I think Penn may have come as far if not farther than anyone I can think of in terms of his career and skill. I mean, from kids' stuff like Fast Times to being really impressive in about anything you see him in. Madonna has lasted as long I guess in her own way but seems like he has the last laugh on her in this department, all in all. Maybe there are others but I can't think of any others who have come along so far, except maybe (in a very different way stylistically) Johnny Depp, who I always like to watch these days. And Jump Street must be about the equivalent for him of Fast Times.

Just rambling. Lucky you that you got to meet him!
