Jon Voight helped dozens of children to have a Thanksgiving dinner after the actor purchased turkeys for a complete stranger while in line at a Kentucky Walmart on Friday. According to ABC News, the Oscar-winning actor was in line at the grocery store in Louisville when he noticed that the woman ahead of him, Sydney Gholston, was getting ready to purchase six whole turkeys ahead of the holiday this week.
“I was helping the lady scan the turkeys and the man behind me said, ‘You must have a big family. That’s an awful lot of turkeys,'” Gholston told ABC News. “I said, ‘I work at the Home of the Innocents.'”
Gholston — who works as the director of food and nutritional services at the nonprofit organization, which provides care to at-risk children and to children who have been victims of abuse — said she chatted with Voight for a little while before the actor offered to purchase all six turkeys for her.

A couple that come to mind right off — gonna have to dig out the DVD and pop it in.
1) When the Major is digging into this “conspiracy theory” and goes to the library to research details, he looks into the video camera recording that section of PC’s. In the frame is an Elvis-Presley-kinda-looking (large) guy a row back or so.
2) The civilian contractor (”missing” for years) who is advising Captain (eventually Major) Marco, makes an appearance at the school near the end of the movie. He is (silently) walking down the hallway before they try to set Major Marco up for the assigned task.
3) When Raymond Shaw invites Major Marco up for “lunch” Raymond Shaw is having ...... Cup of Noodles. Some lousy “lunch”. Then-Captain Marco is calmly eating Cup of Noodles while watching the torture/beatings. Which, of course, he’s been programmed to purchase and is doing so when he “accidentally” meets the undercover FBI agent.
4) The woman humming “The Twilight Zone” theme during the interview is an operative. Psy-Ops operative.
5) The guy playing Al Melvin is just great in his part. Just an observation. As is the Albanian scientist who is “disappeared”.
6) “Manuchurian Global” is an obvious reference to Halliburton.
7) The guy at the boarding house, listening to Raymond Shaw talk about poor Americans choosing between medicine and food. And then he says “Don’t you just love this guy?”. This is a super-creepy foreshadowing of Obama 4 years before he shows up speaking all of his platitudes to gain the trust of fools.
That’s about all I can remember off the top of my head. I’ll have to watch it again and see if anything else pops out. Hope you have a chance to see it again soon.
I want Clint Eastwood for White House Press Secretary.
Seinfeld reference.
Well, I was waiting to pull out of a parking spot when this cashier from the diner, who took my $20 bill with the lips marked red, told me my car was on fire.
So I grabbed a broom ... it caught on fire .... and the guy with the hose could no longer use his hose because of Elaine .... and now they took my belt!
I wish he and his daughter would reconcile. She is enormously talented...just a little lost, I think.
You might get a laugh with it too. :)

I bought four of them two weeks ago. We hosted a huge potluck for 100 family members of our Trail Life USA troop. All four birds were cooked outdoors. 1 smoked, 1 fried, 2 trash can turkeys.
Wow!
DELIVERANCE!
I’m busy watching the up-tempo Perry Como “Still Alive” tour!

I hate it when that happens.
Oops s/b
6) “Manchurian Global” is an obvious reference to Halliburton.
I know! And then Larry David, upon whom my character was based, had the unmitigated gall to tell me “We don’t take defaced money your highness!”.
Fun fact: His brother, Chip, is a singer-songwriter and wrote “Wild Thing,” and other notable songs. His other brother, Barry, has a PhD in geology and is a scientist of note.
What an interesting and accomplished family ... and add Angelina Jolie into the mix, too.
Voight should have had an Oscar for his role as John Paul II in the movie of that name. So well done that people thought he WAS the pope. His daughter teased him about that. Can’t even think how many times I’ve watched it.
What a sweet picture!
Wait. Conservatives aren’t supposed to be nice to people. Liberals are supposed to tax money away from conservatives so that the government can be nice to people.
And they all tasted great too. I can’t tell which is my favorite.
Realistically, running four isn’t much more
Work than one.
You mean James Woods?
I see what you did there. Good pun. :)
