More Crack than Your Caulk Can Handle
We've got way too much crack in our foyer. The front wall of the house has pulled forward (100+ years of settling & a 16 mile move) from the rest of the house. The only place where this is a serious problem is where the foyer wall should meet the front wall. Notice I say "should." Currently, there is a crack nearly two inches wide that runs from the floor to the ceiling. It's big enough for you to stick your whole hand in and wiggle it around.
I don't think caulking this crack is an option.
I have two possible solutions for this. One, I scribe a board that will fit this gap and then caulk and paint it. Two, I install some freaking enourmous corner trim (cove?) in each of the four corners of the foyer. The problem I have with both solutions is that I'm not convinced that they won't look like ass.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.

John,
May I say that you have quite a flair for coming up with captivating titles for your posts!
BTW, thanks for the camera tips. I bought a Kodak Z7590 a few weeks ago, and I'm very happy with it.
I like the idea of a corner molding. I don't think that would look bad at all. In our beadboard bathroom, you can see where there were originally pieces of wood in the corners.
Shauna, Thanks and I'm glad that I could help.
We've got some corner molding in our house, but it looks stupid because it's not actual molding, just a plank of wood against one wall in the corner. Actual molding could look nice. And you've shed some light on why our "molding" may be there.
