Heh. We’ll just bypass commenting on Ms. Newmar’s current legal difficulties 😉

Is that thing worth watching? I always assumed it was just the American version of _Priscilla…_. Anyway, I _think_ that John Leguizamo’s been used in this round, so is

Patrick Swasey (sp?) still available?

As far as I can tell, Swayze was only in round one.

Moving us on to _Red Dawn_.

**Shibb** , it is a _Princess Priscilla_ knock off, but fun. And Wesley Snipes in drag is something to see. Ru Paul is, as always, faboo.

Hmmm…Charlie Sheen is always best when he’s not taking himself seriously. Let’s go with **The Chase**. Which also features an angry rock star.

As much as I want to say _The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy_, alas, it has not been released. So I will go with the obvious _Being John Malkovich_.

**Nightwatch** , I think we’re here and _not_ on John Malkovich (I would have gone with _Rounders_ and his classic portrayal of Teddy KGB. Mainly because I’m guessing **Mo** would like that play).

**Ankarette** : Hi! Welcome to here. Nice to meet you! We’re playing film-actor-film, etc.

_Heat_ has not been used this go 'round. John Malkovich does not, to my knowledge, appear in that film, either.

The only movie I recall seeing Henry Rollins in is _Jackass_, so I’m gonna have to go with that. There are a bunch of cameos, plus a couple members of the gang have been in other stuff, so it’s very usable.

P.S. - Slightly modified, this is a really fun drinking game (COLLEGE! lol), except that once in a while there are film majors at the party who basically end up dueling while everyone else gets bored and wanders off.

No, \*\*ShibbOleth \*\*already said \*Heat \*for Rollins. Now we need somebody who was in that one.

Soooooo…are we going with Henry Rollins, or John Malkovich?

We’re on \*Heat \*now. Does anybody want to name an actor in _Heat_? Ok, I’ll do it. Ashley Judd was in _Heat_.

That sounds like innuendo, doesn’t it?

Well, yes, but she is, so totally acceptable innuendo.

**Ellyn Burstyn** finally gets into this game long after many a lesser performer has strutted his/her hour upon the thread.
