Frankly I wasn't really sure I'd ever seen it at all, till I followed the link for this review. Gay hitmen indeed. Funny to reflect on how they all went on to bigger things; not so bad for the son of a mere physicist at Oak Ridge Nat'l Labs, I can't even imagine how he'll screw up "Clue" thoughsneak peeksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-31967880781821563102011-03-10T02:20:15.935-08:002011-03-10T02:20:15.935-08:00"Who could have guessed that Johnny Depp woul..."Who could have guessed that Johnny Depp would hit mainstream leading-man status, much less that he would do it by playing a Disney pirate?"<br /><br />I sure didn't.

I have often wondered about this... I've also noted that your generic ginger hair color is no match for Julia's ravishing red. I presume this is the problem with Eric as well.<BR/><BR/>As for Julia, it's too bad she isn't cute & petite like me. Even with non-classic features, I'll be cute as a button when I'm 70. Any jerks who decide to be uncivil to me will certainly be cast from the community like the curs they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
