The Rob Ryan one always makes me laugh - I was worried he wouldn’t be in there (head coach-only-ism, or something)
I liked him better when he was fighting vampires in "Blade."
I’m glad he included Coughlin. He looks like he is going to explode at least once every game. Gruden had some great grimaces too.
Ha!
probably no reason to include Belichick sense his expression wouldn’t change if he got kicked in the gnads or just got told he won a date with Mary Lou Retton
True, he’s always got that constipated look.
Ever seen Mike Tomlin express any emotion? He may be a robot.

True - but his look always has the same effect on me as Michael Keaton’s in a lot of his movies: he may look non-plussed, but there’s something bubbling under those eyes that’s some combo of evil and rage that you don’t want to be on the wrong side of.

Quick - name your favorite Keaton movie!
Yes, you can tell when he’s seething. That’s about it. There is never any happy.
Easy - “Night Shift.” This is Chuck reminding Bill to SHUT UP!
Ignore the ‘ch’
‘thonic’, like ‘sonic’ only with a TH, but not the TH in ‘thomas’.
In fact, think ‘thong’.
I like that better. ‘Thonic’, as in ‘all things having to do with a thong bikini’.
I want to say "Mr. Mom" - but I know that's not my fave - I just love Teri Garr so very much.
So my real answer is "Beetlejuice" - he's just too damn cool in there.
I'm ashamed to admit - since I'm a huge fan of Weird Al - that I haven't seen "Johnny Dangerously" yet.
What's yours SG?
Pacific Heights.
It wasn’t a nose job. She had a deviated septum, and the surgery was not successful. She had contemplated a second and decided against.
She’s both hot and smart - a Fox trait.
Jaimey Colby being hottest and smartest on that channel right now.
I swear when they did Alison Krause of bluegrass fame over they messed with her nose. She lost that perfect twang she had a younger thang - makes me sad.
Mine too! I remember he was in some creepy stalker type movie and I hated him being a bad guy.
