Uh, Peter Jackson DID make three movies (at the SAME time). At the same cost of ONE blockbuster.

[Lil'freeper]

Heh, the camera just cruised by the Robbins "family". The two chil'run look bored out of their gourds.

[shaggy eel]

Don't get too gleeful, you're still under the Clarke regime...

,,, that's it, keep me in line. Jobs here aren't going to China and India. You're obviously out of touch. The star of the show down this end of the planet is Don Brash. Klark's on her way down the toilet. We've had two terms of her like you've had two terms of Billy-Jeff. She's a gonner.

[KellyAdmirer]

I'm glad the Hepburn montage began, at least it got Julia Roberts out of my face for a few minutes.

[diotima]

You have Dean and Deluca in your Borders?!?

Man, LA sucks.

[mabelkitty]

She was the ugly chick in the nerd duo.
She'll never shake because she lived up to expectations.

[isthisnickcool]

LoL! I don't know what a fluffer is.

Gads! I didn't know either. I "looked it up". It's a person that's responsible for assisting an "actor" in overcoming "gravity" prior to a scene being filmed in a a type of film once referred to as a "stag film".

[Diddle E. Squat]

And actually it sounds like most people misinterpreted what Billy and Robin actually said.

[don-o]

I'd tell you what a fluffer does but I'd get banned.

How great a thread is this? So much education going out.

Fluffer = BJobs. The Freeple are learning so much

[FourPeas]

But the beauty of it is that it took you this long to realize it.

[lonevoice]

God help us. That is absolutely terrifying!

[jackbill]

Good luck on the job.

[stands2reason]

especially after the weed stops working.

LOL

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Pure Hollywood Glamour.

[Mo1]

*L* .. is that Hellary?

[NYC GOP Chick]

You have Dean and Deluca in your Borders?!?

Yep. But it's a fairly new Borders -- we've only had it since last summer. Our last one kinda got blown up. :(

[Central Scrutiniser]

Eh...I'm an indie and foreign film guy. But I will take 3ROTK's over any crapfest chickflick Sandra Bullock Julia Robberts Meg Ryan swill any day.

Kurosawa, there was a filmaker!

[KellyAdmirer]

I bet it's tough getting on the subway in that dress....

[mass55th]

John Edwards commercial: My day worked hard as a mill worker putting food on the table...blah, blah, blah.

[lainie]

Earlier, Tim referred to Susan as "my wife." What's that all about?

Another famously unmarried couple with children for a long time was Sting & Trudy. I remember Trudy telling the story that her son came home one day complaining that the school children called him a "bastard." Trudy says she told him, "no, that would be what your father is." Then they got married a short time later. :-)
