Jesus fucking Christ, you're not supposed to list both an actor AND a movie, and you're not supposed to answer your own post. Actor - movie - actor - movie Read the thread and get a fucking clue. Your answer - Sigourney Weaver My answer - "Death And The Maiden"

Thanks again jacko because now I can use another all-time fav: "The Year of Living Dangerously"

Nice to see the NL break their 14 year drought and finally win an All-Star game. Also nice to see one of my Cubbies (Marlon Byrd) make a big play to help them. I agree with you MLC, the game has changed for the worse since the 70's, and certainly now it favors teams in big markets with big money. Still, there are a few facts that challenge the "big market vs small market" theory: - Plenty of big market teams with big money that aren't consistently successful. Look at my Cubs, for example. - Also a few small market teams have done well. The Marlins have two championships in

Wouldn't surprise me. Clemens and Sosa let me down - so why wouldn't they cheat in the HRD? Until the evidence comes out I just pretend they're all good guys and try to enjoy the game. As for Steinbrenner, I won't shed a tear for him. He symbolizes most of what's bad about baseball. Yeah, he is capitalism personified, and that's the American way and blah blah blah, but I still never liked the guy. I'd like to see a list of all the free agents he threw money at who were flops. I think you got your decades mixed up. The Yankees won a couple of championships in the 70's, with S

Now that "you-know-what" is finally over, time for a sport that isn't all about guys in shorts bitching about getting kicked. Boston's David Ortiz wins the Home Run Derby, the prelude to the MLB All-Star Game. This is such a fun event to watch. Great hitters launching balls into the seats. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5375279 The actual All-Star game is coming up later today. So, we're halfway through the baseball season. Who do you like? Both of my teams (Cubs and Royals) currently suck, but hey anything can happen in the second half.

I'll avoid the obvious two and go with another great English character actor . . . Wilfrid Hyde-White

Thank you Jacko, because now I can link to one of my all time favorite movies . . . "Brief Encounter"

The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer

You don't have to be old to appreciate old movies. Some of the greatest movies ever made were released in the 1930's.

She died in a tragic plane crash in 1942 just outside Las Vegas while on a war bond tour. Lombard didn't get to see the release of her last film . . . "To Be Or Not To Be"

No, the great stage actor John Barrymore, who starred in the 1930 version of "Moby Dick", was Drew's grandfather, and his best known screen role was probably in . . . "Twentieth Century"

Ah, now we're talking - movies made before 1980. Joan Bennett

"It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"

Invoking the 24 hour rule, since I have no idea who Ms Snow is . . . "Hairspray" (The unnecessary 2007 remake) Lots to choose from there.

Night On Earth

The phrase is "come to grips with". Is this supposed to be an atttempt at humor? Very childish, especially after I let it look like you won the Jenny/Janie debate. You're a strange bird CT. Sometimes you post clever stuff, then you turn around and post stupid shit like this.

I caught the second half while having a couple of beers last night. So far this is the only WC match that has kept my attention. Quite entertaining. Good luck to The Netherlands.

I always call MY sport "American football" or "US football", because I know if I just call it "football" all the lovers of the game played with the "polka dot" ball will think I'm talking about THEIR sport. That's a verbal (or, in the case of the internet, a written) "gift" I give to them. However, I get even by always calling THEIR sport "soccer", because I know they hate it.

Hilary Swank

As the great John Wayne once said, "When you make a mistake you have to do 3 things: Admit it, accept it, and get on with life." I went back and looked at the Soccer Sucks thread. The links you posted that show her name as "Janie" were posted after I stopped reading the thread, so I didn't see them until just a few minutes ago. Looks like she is known by both names. You're right, I'm wrong.

A great movie, but then again I'm a romantic. Omar Sharif

JFC, I haven't seen her friggin' birth certificate! I haven't personally met her and gotten her autograph! I'm just going by the sound made by Thai people when they say her name, and the way it is spelled on the internet. Here's a small sampling of the internet evidence: Tampon commercial - Jenny http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2b0j1_je...nposuwan_people Internet profile - Jenny http://www.thailandbuddy.com/Thai-Girl-Gal.../actress-3.html Thai TV show - Jenny http://www.ethaicd.com/show.php?pid=46654 AIS website - Jenny http://203.150.230.125

"House of Sand & Fog"

Since you mentioned it . . . I saw Jenny on one of the Thai soap magazines at my neighborhood 7-11 today. Looks like she's in a new series. Thinking of you, I took the magazine over to the manager, Ning, who spent a year in Canada and speaks pretty decent English. I asked, "What is the name of this actress?" "Jenny", she replied. I used my best Midwestern twang and asked, with an obvious long "A", "Not JAnie?" "No" said Ning, "JENNY." She pronounced the "e" beautifully.
