LOL!

He did do this one film where he was a doctor dealing with druggies and stuff...can't remember what it was called. It was like a thriller - he was awesome in that! Not bumbling at all.

They were trying to find a cure for paralysis by cutting the druggies spines. (Coz they thought they were the only people that wouldn't be missed...)

Of course, cutting spines, the most obvious way to cure paralysis :-?

Sounds like a "straight to TV" film to me. lol.

Actually I think I have seen it before. So I'll take you're word for it :)

i like Jack Nicholson
"i'm willing to do anything
to calm the storm in my heart
i've never been the praying kind
but lately i've been down upon my knees
not looking for a miracle
just a reason to believe"

Chiaki Kuriyama. She plays Takako Chigusa in Battle Royale. That's the only movie I've ever seen her in, and it's the only one I need to see her in!

I say James Dean. Only 3 films but enough for me

I <3 Paul Bettany too. The more I see of him, the more I like. I can't wait til Wimbledon is released here.

there's only four seasons
and this one's almost gone
these nights feel so good
but this one's almost gone
