And they carry him off the field. Which NEVER happens at Notre Dame. And he's so small once he gets out on that field with all those players. It's like Lucas but without Waif-Winona and the bleeding head.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

You had to mention them carrying him off the field!
Weeping a little now.

tina - don't forget his entire, non-believeing, non-supportive family all GETTING OFF THE BUS in South Bend to watch him play. His father in tears from the stands.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The movie (and true story) of Rudy has been summed up thusly (unkindly): he whined until they let him into Notre Dame, then he whined until they let him onto the football team, and then he whined until they let him suit up for a game, and then he whined until they let him play. Moral of the story: persistence will get you everywhere. (It was a fun movie, not least watching these gigantic bruisers throw Sean Astin around like confetti, and he kept getting back up again.)
Not many opinions on the fates of actors in Hollywood; although I imagine it's a strike against one if one isn't terribly tall, being famous doesn't hurt. Agreed that eventually the world will discover that Orlando Bloom has the IQ of a vacuum cleaner, but as noted that has not stopped other people from staying famous and well-paid for nice long careers.

Wahhhhh!!
ignoring Nutty's Rudy-as-whiner summation, even though, yeah, that pretty much sums it up

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, it's an unkind summary, but, you know, props to Rudy for sticking to his whiny guns!
Also, in the movie, there is the hilarity of Vince Vaughn playing a nice boy on the football team, probably the last nice boy character he ever played.

I can't even.
Ack! Missed the links while they still linked to Fran and not Susan Sarandon (who I like fine, but isn't Fran). The Fran secret identify conspiracy continues, at least against me. Mutter, grumble. Guess I could drag my lazy uh, keyboard over to google.
ETA: Okay, not a conspiracy after all. Searching that yahoo site gave me a pic 30 seconds later. Sometimes I forget I can get stuff if I do stuff.

Um, JohnSweden -- later I linked to the picture on the TORN website -- which should still be Howard and Fran.

That one had changed too, sumi. It was just a direct link to the yahoonews page. But that page is searchable, so it is all good.

Sumi, it's not, it's Robbins and Sarandon.
Which made me go, "hey, Howard Shore looks a lot like Tim Robbins, and Fran is a hot-- oh."
Direct link would be nice? ::bats eyes::
