Alaska Darin Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 That's good. We didn't want there to be any confusion, did we? 139220[/snapback] We certainly can't have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_BiB_ Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Yeah but I bet she's got hair in places that women should not have hair. 139264[/snapback] If I ever tried to find out, the brothers would probably do their thing.

Dan Gross Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 How dare you insult Kevin Costner. 139275[/snapback] To give Connery credit, he rarely bothers to try. If you want to see an accent absolutely butchered, check out Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Makes me want to tear my eyeballs out! But over the years, Connery has done: Irish (Untouchables, for which I believe he received an award for the worst accent ever!), English (King Arthur, King Richard, Robin Hood, Allan Quatermain among others), Russian (the afore-mentioned Ramius), Spanish (in Highlander...and there I thought he was going to play a Scot!), Italian (The Name of the Rose), Greek (Agamamnon in Time Bandits), Arab (The Next Man), "American Cowboy" (Shalako), Dragon (Dragonheart), and of course Scottish (Bond, Macbeth, etc). Quite a range! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Worked better than freaking Alec Baldwin. Still, the worst transgression in all of them was Dafoe as John Clark. Give me a break. 139296[/snapback] I thought Baldwin made a pretty good Ryan. Better than pretty-boy Ben Affleck, and although I like Harrison Ford, he just plays everything with too much angst, far moreso than really suited "Jack Ryan". I though it was Baldwin's only good performance in his career (too bad he submarined his career by calling Spielberg "The eighth dwarf - Greedy." ) Dafoe as John Clark was a joke. Had to be. That part was made for Michael Ironside. But considering how badly they butchered that book, it's academic at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. K Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I have a PhD and my last name starts with "K." Some of my co-workers called me that when I used to work at a wire service. And no, I was not a fan of Dwight Gooden, though I wish him no ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldwin has given a number of great performances, usually as bad guys. He's got a scary intensity and an edge of craziness. If you haven't seen them check out "Miami Blues" or "Malice" or "The Cooler." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blzrul Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 BLZRUL was what I had on my special plates (Bills Helmet Logo too of course) when I lived in New York. When I moved to TX I didn't use that on my plates because I was afraid it would be taken as Bulls, not Bills, so I became BBILLS. But I've applied to be BLZRUL here in Seattle.

Terry Tate Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Well, I was in California until a couple months ago. The Wingnut comes from USAF service. I spent my whole career working in units that combined some of the finest grunts, squids and jarheads a guy could ever know. I thought their funniest nickname for AF types was wingnut, so that one stuck with me. I would change to FlaWingnut or just Wingnut, but I don't want to start over.

30dive Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 After many years coaching HS football, my favorite play (many different names) is still 30 dive. The three (3)back (fullback) through the zero (0) hole (guard/center gap or off the centers right hip). Just power football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
