We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

I've got nothing, but my movie knowlege is pretty much non-existant.

Always Anti-fascist!

The Human Stain, but the film version? Kind of blech. And what about Ben Stiller? Nobody would ever believe him as anything else very often although I think like the cast of Seinfeld, he does not say he's Jewish except for "Leap of Faith"(?) where he's a rabbi.

Wasn't Zach Braff's character in Garden State Jewish?

t edit Wait. Do you mean movies/characters, or the actors who portray them?

Apparently God wants Katherine Harris to run for congress in Florida, even if the Republicans aren't keen on the idea.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Robin, I haven't seen it, but School Ties comes to mind. The basic idea is "Gentleman's Agreement in a prep school." So the lead character (played by a young Brendan Fraser) is Jewish, but the theme is anti-Semitism. Since I haven't seen the movie, I can't guarantee that Fraser's character is portrayed positively.

It also goes back a little more than a decade (1992).

Keeping the Faith I think, erika, and I was thinking of that one too.

Right, so. On Friday, I took my car in for some work. Oil change, new brake pads, la la la. Everything was just fine, right up to the point where they crashed my car.

Yeah.

I need lunch. I wonder how weird it would look if I walked up to a drive-up ATM?

Are there that many films where the leading male actor declares his religion?

Ann, that's a ferret.

From Gudanov's link:

Katherine Harris told hundreds of conservative Christians Saturday that she is "a work in progress."

She's a piece of work, all right....

That's exactly the same thought I had when I read that line.
