> [@Maureen](#): > > With _Andre Braugher_, who was also in Homicide. Hey, **Shibb**!! You’re up late. Yeah, I know he was in that (he starred), that’s why I went that way. It’s late, but I just got back into town less than an hour ago. It’s been a very long day. Now let’s use the wonderful Mr. Braugher’s turn in _City of Angels_ and see if anyone can tie in another famous TV detective. 🙂 ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > I WIN!! I WIN!!! Okay, **Nightwatch Trailer** , I have stumped the master. What do I get? (on a Neil Simon movie yet…) Well, see, typically the person who can’t make a play gets the letter M. First one to spell “MOVIES” loses. **Shibb** : M **Maureen** : No letters Who’s up for round two? 😃 (You guys are astonishing…I’ve heard of MAYBE a third of the movies used in this game. I’ve probably actually SEEN fewer than a tenth.) ---

I can’t be the only person who saw this. Richard Dreyfuss is an inventor, and Susan Sarandon is a single mom. The Star Trek kid plays her son, and Nancy Allen is Dreyfuss’ gold digging airhead girlfriend. ---

Wait. I know this…I do!! Um. Wasn’t she the mom in …no, no, divorced there… Okay, wait so how about…um, no not there either. HA!! The Banger Sisters. She was married to the stiff. That movie was kinda close to home, too… ---

She played the mom in _Little Women_. And she was engaged in _The Rocky Horror Picture Show_. Does that count? 🙂 ---

Actually, right after I posted that, on the way to cook some rolled flank steak stuffed with mozarella and spinach (matched nicely with a 2000 Terrazas Malbec – I mention for the fair and lovely **Maureen** ), I thought, wasn’t she married to Nick Nolte’s character in _Lorenzo’s Oil_? ---

You’re impossible. Yes, it was Susan Sarandon. That was a very depressing movie, I could only watch about the first half hour of it. Back to the grind. **Nightwatch Trailer** , are we on the second round? Responding to **cbawlmer’s** post: **Toy Soldiers** ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > You’re impossible. Okay, okay, you know we’d love to see a pic of you. Something a bit racy, with a bikini and a seven card stud table involved, would be best. You know you have to get that sort of thing out of your system before you get married, right?
