Oooh, thank you for that. I had a moment of great joy.

[Diddle E. Squat]

[Hand em their arse]

"overlooking the chunky brown East River. :)"

oohh, may want to wait on lunch till after you leave the seaport, huh? :)

I'll say an extra little prayer for ya tomorrow regarding the job!! If you care to e-mail me any info., a good friend of mine owns a placement agency in midtown. Ya never know, could help?? Good luck with tomorrow, though!

[NYC GOP Chick]

Definitely! And she's not a lollipop head -- one of those anorexic chicks with the oversized heads.

[Trinity_Tx]

For those asking about the records...

LOTR tied with Ben Hur and West side story with 11 nominations. (Other Movies have had more nominations, like Titanic which I believe broke the nomination record with 14.)

As for wins, I am pretty dure that record goes to Ben Hur which won all 11.

Sooo, If LOTR continues winning everything it's nominated for, it will tie with Ben hur for most Oscars.

)crossing my fingers here)

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Were we talking about Mel Gibson? Surely you don't lump him in with the grubs I was referring to? I'm sure I just misunderstood your post.

[Warren_Piece]

Foreign films, eh? Have you ever seen "The Way Home"? (Korean). It's in my top ten of all time list. GREAT Film!

[al baby]

Ewwwww. Rode hard and put away wet.
Heres the before picture

[Rummyfan]

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. :-)

LOL!!!

[Lil'freeper]

Who knows- maybe marriage will become all the rage again.

[eddie willers]

"no, that would be what your father is." Then they got married a short time later. :-)

LOL

Hey who's running the Drudge thread?

[wolficatZ]

The music clip at the end of the Hepburn tribute was from Richard Wagner's Gotterdammerung...lol

[shaggy eel]

,,, thanx mate. Recent events have shown a political turn for the better here. There's a lot of happy people.

[diotima]

Krzysztof Kieslowski. He's my man.

[hattend]

Sandra Bullock

I liked her in 'Speed', 'The Net', and 'Demolition Man'. oh yeah, neither of those were chick flicks. I haven't seen a SB chick flick yet...guess I'm lucky

[weegee]

Meth is easy to get, when the supply of coke is down, meth is a quick, easy substitute.

And then there is always snorting Comet...

[DallasMike]

Both are top two on my "So why, exactly, are these women considered attractive?" list.

You must have been peeking at my list. I watched some of The Passion discussion shows last night and saw a clip of Parker on Larry King. It would take a lot of beer for me to go for her. And Roberts looks like such a phony.

I'll take Penelope Cruz any day:
