You are a very nice sister, Aimee.

I have yet to see Footloose. And Hubby's in it.

Aroo? Is he an extra? I luuuuuurve that movie and the soundtrack.

When it first came on cable, I think I watched it about a billion times. Same with Raiders.

I recently learned - well, re-learned, I knew it a long time ago and had forgotten - that a Classics professor I know is in Young Guns II. Apparently they needed someone who could speak latin and had a beard to be the priest in a burial scane, and he was teaching at Arizona State near where they were shooting. His character even has a name, but I can't find a clip on Youtube.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I'm going to have to watch Footloose and look for slumbering Connie hubby. And he was really asleep? That's hilarious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I got my first TV because I couldn't bear the thought that there were random airings of Footloose that I was missing. I got my second TV in a flurry because my first TV broke and Colin was going to be on TV RIGHT NOW.

However, since then, it's been a sickness of upgrading.

Anyone here have an opinion on Contraband? I kinda want to, I kinda don't. Looking for the hair to tip the scale.

And he was really asleep?

He was working a night shift at the time, so after his shift he and his wife would go over to the set. He'd sit down in his assigned spot and just conk out. The first time, the Assistant Director went to wake him up, and the Director stopped him, saying "There's always somebody asleep in church, leave him be." And he stayed asleep through all the takes, the fire and brimstone sermons, everything. At the end of the day they asked him if he could do that again, and he said sure.

The extra casting director was someone he knew, that's how he got called in. For American Graffiti, he was either a cop or a fireman at the time, and they apparently got hit up all the time to be extras. He's also been in some cheap monster movies, but he doesn't know the names. He said "I was told to show up, we stood around, we were told to run screaming through a parking lot, we were done."

Yeah, looks like a definite HBO-at-best. Shame. I could do with a bit of formula right now, but that's certainly not worth getting dressed for, much less shower.
