I gave up before the last version, even though I had liked a few of the 80s series episodes.

And I might as well fess up in this thread because it is the sequel thread.  For my birthday I took my daughter to see Harry Potter at midnight.  The movie was really bad, the worst one of the series (and I did like a few of them).  But then, I didn't go for the movie.  I went for my daughter.  We had fun, even though she didn't like the movie either, She got to be out till 3am (and she still likes doing stuff with her dad, so I am enjoying it while it lasts)

Jennifer Tilly was in Bullets over Broadway with Diane Weist

Thank you, it was a couple of days ago, and I won't say how ancient I am, but I remember the 60s

Mel, Have a great birthday!!

I received this in an email today, and it is so true:

One of the "Band of Brothers" soldiers died on June 17, 2009.

We're hearing a lot today about big splashy memorial services.

I want a nationwide memorial service for Darrell "Shifty" Powers.

Shifty volunteered for the airborne in WWII and served with Easy Company of
the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, part of the 101st Airborne Infantry.
If you've seen Band of Brothers on HBO or the History Channel, you know
Shifty. His character appears in all 10 episodes, and Shifty himself is
interviewed in several of them.

I met Shifty in the Philadelphia airport several years ago.
I didn't know who he was at the time. I just saw an elderly gentleman
having trouble reading his ticket. I offered to help, assured him that he
was at the right gate, and noticed the "Screaming Eagle", the
symbol of the 101st Airborne, on his hat.

Making conversation, I asked him if he'd been in the 101st Airborne or if
his son was serving. He said quietly that he had been in the 101st. I
thanked him for his service, then asked him when he served, and how many
jumps he made.

Quietly and humbly, he said "Well, I guess I signed up in 1941 or so, and
was in until sometime in 1945" at which point my heart skipped.

At that point, again, very humbly, he said "I made the 5 training jumps at
Toccoa, and then jumped into Normandy . do you know where Normandy
is?" At this point my heart stopped.

I told him yes, I know exactly where Normandy was, and I know
what D-Day was. At that point he said "I also made a second jump
into Holland, into Arnhem." I was standing with a genuine war hero . . .
and then I realized that it was June, just after the anniversary of D-Day.

I asked Shifty if he was on his way back from France, and he said "Yes.
And it's real sad because these days so few of the guys are left, and those
that are, lots of them can't make the trip." My heart was in my throat and
I didn't know what to say.

I helped Shifty get onto the plane and then realized he was back in Coach,
while I was in First Class. I sent the flight attendant back to get him and
said that I wanted to switch seats. When Shifty came forward, I got up out
of the seat and told him I wanted him to have it, that I'd take his in coach.

He said "No, son, you enjoy that seat. Just knowing that there are still
some who remember what we did and still care enough to make an old man
very happy." His eyes were filling up as he said it. And mine are brimming
up now as I write this.

Shifty died on June 17 after fighting cancer.

There was no parade.

No big event in Staples Center.

No wall to wall back to back 24x7 news coverage.

No weeping fans on television.

And that's not right.

Let's give Shifty his own Memorial Service, online, in our own
quiet way.
Please forward this email to everyone you know. Especially to the
veterans.

Rest in peace, Shifty.

true...but they could have plucked them.  Sounds terrible, but they do terrible things to kids in hollywood.

I have always loved that commercial, (part of having kids, by the end of summer the kids can begin to wear on you) I never realised it was Chris.  The girl does look like the one in the other picture.

I have a perfect one...Bug...the one with the cockroaches which shoot fire out of their butts.  It will be awesome with CGI.
