> [@Maureen](#): > > Nope, we did **Dogma** , post # 78, and **Gfactor** knew where I was going… 😃 Can we use the first Men in Black movie? I know we used the second. Call for a ruling, please. Here’s how I think we should go about this…if a sequel or prequel has a significantly different cast (and thus opens up more actors), than I say go ahead. But obviously separately using all three _Lord of the Rings_ movies, or the like, is out. As for _Men in Black_ specifically, I don’t really know who’s in them, so you’ll have to make the call. 😃 ---

Definitely not a sequel in the sense of _Lethal Weapon_ made a ton of money, why not make a _Lethal Weapon 2_? Is _Men in Black_ currently in play? There are a few actors in there, but I’m checking before I go search the thread. Oh, and hi, **c\_r\_y\_s\_t\_a\_l**! Not sure I’d characterise this place as chat room. Oops, on preview **Maureen** has just posted… are we on Rip Torn yet? ---

Sorry, I’m not offended, it’s just an observation. There is a chat room associated with this place somewhere. And there is definitely a chatty elements in parts here. But we mostly think it’s a little more of this. And we’re also generally very gentle on newbies, so don’t take anything the wrong way. Very nice to have you about. 🙂 ---

Russell Crowe was used in post #195 (which I _think_ was valid). So to _A Beautiful Mind_ I’ll say **Jennifer Connelly**. ---
