> [@Maureen](#): > > **Tootsie** > > BTW…Am I the only one watching _He’s a Lady_ on Tuesday nights? Apparently. 🙂 The only time Dustin Hoffman’s been used in this game was July 2nd. I’m guessing that was towards the end of the first round. Many lesser luminaries have preceded him. ---

> [@vd](#): > > I think that’s near the beginning of round two, which started mid-June. Okay, someone else had said July, but I’ll go with that. In which case we’ll use Bill Murray who happens to be this month’s glam cover boy on Esquire magazine. Nice article on him, too. ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > **Quick Change** (it was on last night) And I recorded it, although I’ve not watched it yet. I seem to recall it was not too bad, at least the bank heist was pretty cool. And Geena Davis is in it, with those cheeks I just want to pinch! ---

Hmmm not sure if this is in play, but let’s go with _“The Long Kiss Goodnight”._ ---

I don’t remember. Did we say animated films were fair game? If so, I’ll go with _The Incredibles_ (decent movie, but not deserving of #98 on IMDb grumble grumble). If not, _Pulp Fiction_. ---

Wallace Shawn. I forget, **NT** , but I think we’ve used **Monsters, Inc.** and **Ice Age**. What’s your beef with **The Incredibles**? ---

I just searched, and we’ve used Wallce Shawn a couple of times now. So I guess we’re still on _The Incredibles_, which is fantastic and features the voice of Craig T. Nelson. ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > **Quick Change** (it was on last night) So, I’m just looking at this on the DVR, and there is Tony Shalloub in a very early minor role. I wish I had gone with him. ---
