Growth in terms of bulk was never in question here. Yes, he can bulk up all he wants from here to eternity, but it's not going to add 6-7 inches in height to his frame. And, even if people still do grow up until they're 20-21 as you claim, I've never seen someone grow that much at that age.

Chosen one only when it comes to being a Jedi and that means he is more capable mentally. Being a chosen Jedi doesn't mean that JediGod has endowed you with growth spurt abilities.

I guess the two could have been filmed a year or two apart, but still an amazing chameleon-esque transformation.


Just ask George Clooney who packed on 40-60 pounds between roles. He has nearly lost it all again, but he did put it on. Doesn't take much more than a Krispy Kreme diet. He did Adventures before FMJ as I recall. So, putting on the weight after Adventures wouldn't be so tough. I dunno how he looked in roles after that, so I don't know how long it would have taken for him to lose the weight again.

Troy - for all your Trojan needs

The movie wasn't entirely terrible. The fight scenes were good. Eric Bana was great in the film. Even Pitt was good in it. But Orlando Bloom was terrible and Diane Kruger wasn't much better. There was no chemistry between the two whatsoever. Who would believe in going to war over this pitiful relationship.

And to clarify the sunrise sequence... yes, it was an error. Troy is in what is now Turkey across the sea to the east of Greece. When you see them coming into the beach, it is the morning and the cameras are looking toward the beach from the ships' point of view and you see the sunrise. Obviously, looking from Trojan ships to the shore would be an east to west POV. Ain't no sun that I know of that rises in the west. The error is recognized on sites such as moviemistakes.com as well.

Doesn't matter to me which way it walks, but I did notice one potential continuity error with the photo...

If you look at the rear, right leg of the AT-AT, it shows it on the outside of the street light arm (you cannot see the pole that the street lights are attached to). However, when you look at the front right leg (which should be in line with the rear right leg), the actual street light fixture itself is on the outside of the leg. Even if you try to explain it away by saying that the AT-AT is walking at an angle, the clearance would not likely have been enough so that the walker would miss knocking the thing over. Picky? Maybe. But you've been just as picky about your shading. Just thought I'd note. Very cool pic otherwise.

Since we've got a talk show host thing going here, how about Craig Ferguson?

Simon, even an uncredited appearance can count so long as IMDb recognizes it so that we can prove it. But, since both of your solutions worked for Jenna Jameson, double (D) kudos to you.

Okay... finally! Somebody got it. Without actually getting it, that is. For those of you scratching their heads... VINCENT D'ONOFRIO WAS THOR (AKA Dawson) IN ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING! That was him. Believe it or not. It was. Floored me, too. But it's him.

Like I said, Frank Miller will not compromise the integrity of his story for anything. Not one thing. Not even a larger box office. He doesn't care. He has enough money coming in from his comic book career. And he's been screwed over so many times by Hollywood adaptations of his stories that he has no desire to really be a player in Hollywood. So the motivation for wanting a bigger audience is nil.

Starkiller, I was intending the same thing by "jump". I just wasn't expecting that I would get it in the same number as you. I thought I'd be one higher.

Simon, nice catch on Coming to America.

Gundark, hope you're happy.

Christopher Lambert (Mortal Kombat) Bridgette Wilson Sampras (Billy Madison) Adam Sandler (50 First Dates) Sean Astin (LOTR) Christopher Lee -- Dooku.

I'm sure there's a shorter one, but this still works.
