Good! (Though I now distrust, partly, your loyalty to our great nation...sure you don't have secret arms deals with Saddam?)noiseradio wrote:I love Jerry Lewis. And I am French, at least partly. Perhaps that's why. But I think it's likely just because he's really funny. I was watching King of Comedy the other night, and his performance is just so great. So, no sarcasm.
Re: Jerry...His sixties films (aside from "The Nutty Professor") tend to get so universally trashed, but I agree that -- properly controlled, he can ge great.
BTW -- did you see/hear him on "The Simpsons" last night? He was doing the voice of -- what else, Prof. Frink's dad.
"Flavin" anyone?

Pip --
Sometimes the IMDB gets a little weird about Asian names. For example, if you enter "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", you'll get the Mandarin title and possibly think it's a computer glitch...if you're lucky! They always use the Asian names first. In the case of Hong Kong people -- who often use an Asian name along with a more anglicized type name, it can be really confusing. (For example, there are at least two big HK movie stars named "Tony Leung.") Also, it's possible I misspelled Mr. Hark's (or is it Mr. Tsui's? -- pronounced "Choy" btw) name.
Anyhow, he's way cool. Produced and/or possibly directed (often vague with him, for some reason) some of my all time favorite Hong Kong movies, particularly the very wonderful "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Peking Opera Blues" as well as lots of films with Jet Li and producing for John Woo earlyon. His older films have this good natured spirit of adventure that just felt right, somehow.

Just catching up on this thread...(I love it by the way)
Apparently I'm:
Sean William Scott (Still pissed about that El Vez)
Zeus
Steve Earle (Okay, you almost made up for the other one El...but I think this is more due to height/build than anything else)
Tom Jones (ladies, I'm always accepting knickers)
J.D. Salinger (recluse...I'm trying to change that)
Wizard (I do hide behind curtains...but let's not get into that)

A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. Do you think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a fuckin' cross? It's kind of like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on.

Yeah...I kind of chose to ignore that one as I see myself much more in the Hawkeye role...or Sophie the horse, either works...
