_Honeymoon in Vegas_  
And it’s not just that he looks unappy, **Twick**. He looks resigned to the fact that something horrible has just or is about to happen, and even a little amused. I don’t know how else to describe it.

**GFactor** agreed with you – I didn’t comment one way or the other. (I was meditating on the fact that the first place I remember him from was _ER_, and I had a huge crush on that character.)

Um, … **Shibb** snuck in, and I don’t know that person, so I’ll just hit “submit” and wander off again.

Yeah, there’s just one problem. I just checked and _Honeymoon in Vegas_ was used on February 17, two days after this latest round commenced. So we’re still stuck with the inimitable Mrs. Ferris Bueller.

Possibly, but I wanted to put man-hands (ms parker) behind us. 🙂

Hm. Martin Landau has been in EVERYTHING. I’ll take **Rounders**

I thought that was Uma Thurman, although she also has freakishly large feet.

Yanno, **Shibb** – first you dis **All That Jazz** , then you dis _Prince of Tides_ (loved the book, didn’t see the movie), then you dis women with big feet – I am forced to declare that you are no longer my Dope BF.

Sorry.

I didn’t know Uma had man hands. I’ll have to watch **Kill Bill** again tonight. I’m tellin’ ya, though, they’re NOTHING compared to Sarah Jessica’s. We’re talking Seinfeld proportions here.

**Dangerous Liaisons**. Great movie, with the exception of a certain dude with a surfer accent.

Okay, watch the scene in _Kill Bill_ where’s she hauling herself up into the “Pussy Wagon”. Her feet are longer than my wife’s arms. She’s still an attractive woman, but I think she can ski without equipment, if you know what I mean. And they are well worn and perhaps pushed a few times into shoes not designed for feet that large.

I gotta admit, I’m not much on “chick flicks” – a friend once made me go see _Terms of Endearment_ with her, and it just felt like watching a very long soap opera episode. I’m sure that _All That Jazz_ is probably good, but I’ve just never had the patience to make it through whatever’s going on in the beginning (I think Scheider is watching film or slides or something). I’d watch it for you, though, dear.

It’s not a chick flick. (It is a musical, however, which may be it’s own kind of disqualification.)

The opening scene is a dance number to George Benson’s version of “On Broadway.” If you don’t want to sit through that, you’ll hate the movie.
