Oh, don’t get me wrong, **Shibb** , it was a good movie. I just had a hard time watching that woman make all those bad choices; I could see where it was going pretty early on. **Gypsy** ---

Nonono!! That’s not a complaint, just a little self-deprecation. I love character actors. I just can’t usually remember their names. “it’s…that guy!! From…that movie!! You know…HIM!!” Haunts me til 2am- ish. Anyway. Ian Richardson. ---

I am quite familiar with “Hey, it’s that guy!” syndrome. 🙂 I’ll see if someone else picks this one up. We’ve been ping-ponging back and forth all afternoon. Where is everyone? Why aren’t they goofing off at work like me? ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > Ian Richardson. I know that guy! He was in _From Hell_ which I just happen to have borrowed from the Library a couple of weeks ago. It pays, in this game, to have a low budget and thus have to take whatever is available on cable or the local library. ---

Heather Graham (I realized I can’t search for Ian Holm - do we remember using him?) ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > **Six Degrees of Separation** It’s not entirely clear that Donald Sutherland hasn’t been used, but I’m fairly sure that’s the case. He did come up in some discussion around pages 6-7. But that’s who I’m going with. As for Ian Holm, I’m fairly sure I used him in here somewhere. I’ll see if I can find him. ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > As for Ian Holm, I’m fairly sure I used him in here somewhere. I’ll see if I can find him. :smack: , only one glass of red and I’m already mixing Ian Holm with Denholm Elliot. Ian Holm _is_ still in play, FWIW. ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > \Oooh! What kind, **Shibb**? I’m a serious wine snob 😛 > > **Puppet Masters** Of all the movies this guy’s done you came up with _The Puppet Masters_? Yeah, I know it’s Heinlein but I have no idea who’s in that film. As for the wine, it a 2001 Elsa, which is an inexpensive Argentinan wine made with Barbera from the Mendoza region. I paid $5.97 for it, including tax. A nice little wine at that price. ---

Heh. Sorry. I wouldn’t even have used that film, but I was watching it two nights ago, and he was very good in it. ---
