A mid-age William Daniels looks unbelievably similar to a mid-age Jack Nicholson. It's eerie really.

Somehow, I'd never seen Fandango with Costner and Judd Nelson before last night. Well, in the great scene (in a fairly average movie overall) at the parachute school, the stoner pilot's wife is played by Glenne Headley, who was July Jones' (Chris Cooper's) pregnant estranged wife in Lonesome Dove and the female lead in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

watching an episode of the short-lived apatow fox sitcom "undeclared" last night. lloyd, the brit (aussie maybe?) roommate of jay baruchel's character, is the same guy - charlie hunnam - who plays Jax on "Sons of Anarchy". the show is maybe 10 years old at this point. i sort of imagined that lloyd dropped out, developed a drug habit, and joined a biker gang to reconcile it all in my head somehow.

You need to fit this into your timelinehttp://www.imdb.com/media/rm81303808/nm0402271
I had one the other day. Just watched The Wire season 2. Chris Bauer played Frank Sobotka.
I'm flipping channels and Face-Off is on and who pops up on screen Chris Bauer as Ivan Dubov,

yeah, sobotka has made a nice career for himself as a character actor. hunnam, apparently, has some range. i watched maybe 2 episodes of SoA and wouldn't have guessed it was "lloyd" from the sitcom. i just recognized the name for some reason.

Fandango is an excellent road movie. I'm a big fan.

Never realized Emma Thompson plays Sybill Trelawney in the "Harry Potter" movies or that she played Nanny Mcphee as well.

Also, the partially def FBI boss who occasionally visits is David Lynch.

He's also the voice of the Master of the Necropolis in The Venture Brothers (i.e. Orpheus' hilarious master).

I find her attractive, but she will not shy away from making herself frumpy (Love ActuallY) or ugly (your two choices up above)

So, its been since 6/20, and you still haven't realized that building your fantasy football team around Detroit players is not the best strategy?

a completely forgettable movie, i think. tedious and hackneyed film. more forlani - preferably in varying stages of undress - would best way to fix that film.

this seems like a common opinion but I enjoyed it. Didnt find it tedious at all, and Id hardly call a movie about soccer hooligans hackneyed since there's been less than a handful made

the only thing different about it was location. if the story or the movie were somehow better, it gets called a classic story. when it's put to use in the services of a weaker film, it's hackneyed.this seems like a common opinion but I enjoyed it.

I just found out today that Giovanni Ribisi was in the 80's sitcom "My Two Dads" (the one with Paul Riser).

Watching Pandorum tonight trying to figure out where I had seen Ben Foster before (haven't seen The Mechanic) so I check his IMDB page and see he was Angel in X-Men 3, but that wasn't it. Then I see it he was the ambiguously gay art student that Lauren Ambrose was dating during seasons 3 & 4 of Six Feet Under. I found that shocking.

I've seen the movie so many times, but I never realized until listening to the commentary last night that Roger Clemens was Skidmark in Kingpin.

Knew it but forgot about it. He played the "love" interest of the daughter.

Not an "aha" moment, but found it very interesting and didn't know where to post it:
Jay Mohr told the story last week of his Jerry Maguire audition. At the time he was just off SNL and was the brother on the Jeff Foxworthy show. He showed up with a long hair that tied in with his redneck character on the TV show. His first audition was for Frank Cushman (the Jerry O'Connell role) and he knew he blew it, so he asked for a shot to do anything in the movie, bit part, extra, didn't matter. So they gave him a shot at the Chad the Nanny role. He kills it, hitting the whole monologue about jazz to the point where the producer said, "What about Bob Sugar?" Comes back a week later, still with long hair, and again kills his audition with Cruise, and is cast as the evil antagonist to Jerry Maguire.
The Bob Sugar role is still one of my favorite roles of the last 20 years. Can't imagine anyone besides Mohr doing it.

Watching "Pee Wee's Big Adventure".....the hot chick in the biker bar (who says "I say...ya let me have him first.") was none other than Cassandra Peterson AKA Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark.

Not sure if its been mentioned, but I was watching Pulp Fiction the other day and realized that the waiter in the restaurant scene with Travolta and Thurman is Steve Buscemi.

I don't think it was mentioned here yet, but "Tri-Captain" Danny Burke in "Revenge of the Nerds" was played by Matt Salinger, whose other claim to fame is his father, J.D..

I've seen "Groundhog Day" like maybe 50 times. The lanky kid who marries the girl at the end, who Phil gives the Wrestlemania tickets to, looked kinda familiar. Turns out it's Michael Shannon, best known for Boardwalk Empire.
And the fat business man Phil bumps into every morning was one of Bruce Willis' drillers in Armageddon.

The Dead Pool with Clint Eastwood has a scene with a rock star
I'm watching it the other day and only then do I realize the rock star is none other then Jim Carrey

It took me until the seventh episode of Boardwalk Empire before I realized that Kelly McDonald played Diane in Trainspotting.
Looking at her IMDB there are a few more that I never had the "aha" moment with; like No Country and Finding Neverland. Solid career so far.

Dont know if Id call it an A-HA moment, but I saw Road to Perdition for the first time since it around when it came out, and totally did not remember Daniel Craig playing Paul Newman's son in it.
Also, better film than I remembered it being

I have watched Blazing Saddles maybe 70 times and thought I had seen everything. Watched it last week with my daughter.

This one is kind of backwards, but here goes......
I'm watching a doc on George Harrison and found this interesting..
from wiki, re: Monty Python's Life Of Brian -
Writing began in December 1976, with a first draft completed by mid-1977. The final pre-production draft was ready in January 1978, following "a concentrated two week writing and water-skiing period in Barbados".[9] The film would not have been made without former Beatle and Python fan George Harrison, who set up Handmade Films to help fund it at a cost of £3 million (a move later described by Eric Idle as the "world's most expensive cinema ticket"). The original backers, EMI Films, had been scared off at the last minute by the subject matter, particularly Bernard Delfont.[7] As a result, the very last words in the film are: "I said to him, 'Bernie, they'll never make their money back on this one'", teasing Delfont for his lack of faith in the project. Terry Gilliam later said, "They pulled out on the Thursday. The crew was supposed to be leaving on the Saturday. Disastrous. It was because they read the script... finally."[10] As a reward for his help, Harrison appears in a cameo appearance as Mr. Papadopoulos, "owner of the Mount", who briefly shakes hands with Brian in a crowd scene. His one word of dialogue (a cheery Scouse, but out-of-place-in-Judea, "ullo") had to be dubbed in later.

Ned? I don't remember him in Armageddon.

Which, if you put it into context with the previous film, Reservoir Dogs, where Buscemi's Mr. Pink goes on a long rant about not tipping, is pretty funny. There were always rumors that was supposed to be Mr. Pink who got away, and is now forced to be a waiter.
Ha! I never noticed that before either.
