> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zeldar \* > \*\*L4L-4 Bard Pitt had on some classy boots in Thelma and Louise \*\* Sorry, no. Same time frame though. The movie wasn’t huge, but was probably his first starring role. ---

Make that Brad not Bard. He also had some cool waders in A River Runs Through It. ---

I remember his character being rather flakey. \*\* I haven’t seen Singles; he may well have played a superstitious character there, too. But I’m talking about a character who is extremely superstitious, in all sorts of quirky ways. ---

L4L-4 Okay, since the Kalifornia bit was his second movie with Juliette Lewis, I’m guessing the footwear would be from the earlier one with her and it was something like “Too Young To Die” but since I’ve sworn off IMDB for this game, that’s as close as I can get on my own. ---

Okay, mine got picked apart. Some new ones… L4L11 - Everything I know about Hummel figurines, I learned from Jack Nicholson. L4L12 - Everything I know about pirate radio I learned from Christian Slater L4L13 - Everything I know about teaching history I learned from Ray Walston L4L14 - Everything I know about dentistry I learned from Steve Martin (2 answers-must have both to qualify for the lightning round) No one was correct with L4L 4. Again, it wasn’t a popular film, so don’t knock yourselves out. EoS-2 Was it Drugstore Cowboy then? I remember him being rather “quirky” in that one.
