WooHoo! I don’t think we even mentioned this one in the last round… **Exit to Eden** (although it bore NO resemblance _whatsoever_ to the book) ---

Oh my eyes! My eyes! Was there really a book? You’re sure you’re not thinking of the Steinbeck masterpiece? ---

LMAO! No, not the Steinbeck novel. This was Anne Rice writing under Roquellere (I hope I spelled that correctly). The murder plot isn’t even a subplot in the book. It centers around Mistress Lisa and her favorite sub, and it gets much more…uh…in depth…than the movie. Rosie O’Donnell & Dan Aykroyd’s characters are nowhere near that book. It made me blush several times (not an easy task). ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Rosie O’Donnell in bondage gear. Oh my eyes! My eyes! Thanks a lot. I could’ve gone through life happily without having heard those words. If Rosie’s your pick, I’ll go with _Harriet the Spy_. (I remember when it was a big deal because it was, IIRC, Nickelodeon’s first movie. :rolleyes: ) ---

J. Cameron-Smith. Y’know, Rosie was actually pretty good in Exit to Eden. Aside from the hideous scene (which was thankfully short) of her in bondage wear, I really liked her in it. Just wish they would’ve used a different name. Hate it when they mess up some of my favorite books. ---

> [@supervenusfreak](#): > > _Aren’t they just the best? LOL. They like to work with their friends like_ Jeremy Piven. I find Jeremy Piven strangely charismatic. _Singles_ - Great soundtrack to this if you like grunge, although I find a couple of the songs haven’t aged well. [If this game ever ends maybe we can try a link game of movie-soundtrack artist-movie… but you’d probably have to allow repeats] ---

One of my favorite characters in that movie was played by _Anne Bancroft_. It is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. ---
