Were you a Thracian born into bondage? Does your cerulean coiffure epitomize the beehive? Does the wacky weatherman guided by a freeway sign go on a date with you, a much younger girl with an unusually spelled name, after meeting you at the clothing store? ---

I’m not a superhero, one of my movies was made in the past 5 years and weren’t from written media I’m not Spider Man. @WormtheRed I’m not The Saint (a.k.a. Simon Templar) I’m not Scrooge McDuck ?

I was going for Steven Soderbergh who convinced some of his buddies (Clooney, Pitt, Damon…) to take major wage-cuts to be able to make Oceans 11. And as Storm didn’t round up buddies to make the movie, but was rather a character in the movie, I’m giving myself a dq (but you may choose if you want to respond). Was your first movie made in the 90.s? ---

I really like Ocean 11, but I would never have guessed that one in a million years. But no, my first movie wasn’t made in the 90s ---

> [@Kobal2](#): > > I have no idea about the news anchor, The one I was going for was Robin Scherbatsky (played by Cobie Smulders) anchor for Metro News 1 on _How I Met Your Mother_. While you’re thinking about the third question, can I get a recap on the DQ answers? I know you’re a movie character, but I’m not sure what else got asked and answered. ---
