> [@Gfactor](#): > > Didn’t see it. I also didn’t see it, but I know it’s a flick starring Nicolas Cage (already played this round) as a cop and Bridget Fonda as a waitress. He promises to share his lottery ticket with her since he can’t leave a tip and then hits it big. Hilarity and romance ensue, I’m sure. Hope this helps someone else with a response. ---

Julianne Moore. The movie disappointed me. They left gaping plot holes that the book explained very well, and kept scenes that could have been tossed without losing plot points that made the story a lot better than it seems just from watching the film. ---

> [@Aesiron](#): > > Nathan Jones See, now every now again, someone will play the name of someone whom I’ve never even heard of. And then I do go to IMDB and check why I’ve never heard of them. Since I didn’t see _Troy_, and this guy has only ever been in one other film, it’s understandable. And in the other film he plays a nameless bad guy, one of many, chasing a popular Chinese icon around. (hint, hint) **Aesiron** , I think maybe you’re playing to “win”. I think the rest of us are playing to keep the ball in the air, so to speak. 😉 ---

I know it probably seems that way but it’s not my intention. I’ve only seen _Happy Gilmore_ once and couldn’t think of anyone outside Bob Barker (and Adam Sandler, obviously) and I’m a former pro-wrestling fan so Nathan Jones was the first person to come to mind when \*Troy \*was played. ---

**Big Trouble in Little China**? Ah. Sadly, I see not after checking with IMDb. However, the Chinese icon in question has a very nice posterior and is featured in some of my favorite cheesy movies. ---

I’ve only seen _Happy Gilmore_ once and couldn’t think of anyone outside Bob Barker (and Adam Sandler, obviously) and I’m a former pro-wrestling fan so Nathan Jones was the first person to come to mind when \*Troy \*was played. NP, it just causes a restart anyway. I don’t know the first thing about pro wrestling; the only one I’ve heard of is Vince McMahon (and some of the old time, way before the WWF guys, like Andre the Giant, Roddy Piper and Abdullah the Butcher). Anyway, there’s only one possible play on Mr. Jones. I hope someone gets it on the first strike.
