Ditto. Connery still has the voice and the 16 tons of charisma, but the looks did take a pretty heavy hit from Father Time. Brosnan could still be doing swimsuit calendars if he were so inclined.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
RDA's actually improving, in my eyes.
Part of that is the fortunate absence of 80s hairstyles.
But tookus is no less a legitimate spelling than tuchus, just like shmuck sometimes has the C after the S, and sometimes doesn't.
Huh. Sorry, shrift.

Makes me think of porcupines.
Hey, at least that's just external.
Fair enough on the spelling, Nutty, but spelling it "tuchus" makes it look more like Yiddish, and thus makes me pronounce it right.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Sean Connery should do a guest shot as 007 Pierce Brosnan's dad, just like he did for Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones movie.

Not that Bond movies are any great examples of cinema verité, but I think that would be just a little too meta a joke for my taste.

See, now I'm imagining a chagrined Bond explaining to Q "He had lasers for eyes and could turn into a car...I loved that dog."

I have a plan.
Didn't Jessica Alba's character on "Dark Angel" have cat DNA that made her go into heat just like a cat? Maybe it'd have helped ratings if she'd also ended up mating like a cat.
Yeh, I think she did, though to be honest I stopped watching after the first three episodes. I guess I couldn't jive with it. Maybe the undertones were too contemporary for me, for a show set in the future.
Speaking of time and 007. When Roger Moore took on the role, he was older than Sean was when he (Sean) quit the role.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In this week's EW:
'Small' Order
Superhero Dalton Ross explains how Smallville can get its momentum back
[yadda yadda] Hence my kryptonite-proof five-point plan:
1. Have Clark and Lex go at it.Forget Lana Lang. Smallville's real attraction has always been the delicate relationship between Clark (Tom Welling) and Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum). What was cool at first -- seeing these future enemies as best buddies -- is much less cool now. This intergalactic odd couple needs to start locking ...
and there the signal breaks up and the article ceases to make sense. I think he wants them mad at each other or something.
But I was excited for a minute.
