I seem to recall Steven having a thing for Moneypenny. She'll be missed indeed.

No, Steve had a thing for Miss Moultrie, who played Miss Monneypenney in some video we made in high school. Ironically, that video was worth about one penny. Weird.

Ahhh...Martha Moultrie. I still remember the look she gave me when I snuck in for a kiss.

Good thing looks don't kill.

I don't know when these were posted, but what a funny thing to find when I google my maiden name!

Welcome to the party, Martha. I'm glad you enjoyed the comments by Rick, Steve, and myself, but you may have overlooked that this blog is run by Jay and Chuck. There's more Airport Class of '86 alums here than you can shake a stick at.

This has to be one of the funniest comment chains I have read in quiet a while.

Thanks George. Did not realize who was running this show. I guess I was too caught up in the fact that I found it! I remember the English project y'all were doing and I remember the airport incident too! Showed this too my husband the other day and he laughed when he read Steve's comment - he's been on the receiving end of that look before!!

Mott, I believe you were called in the day. Nice to hear from you. Funny how little we've all seen and heard from you over the years, yet somehow Steve manages to bring you to the forefront of our thoughts quite regularly. It's as though we've all never been apart.

Are you still playing Moneypenny? -Jay

By the way, Mott's sister, Meg popped up once with a comment on our blog, though I don't recall Meg ever being in one of our movies. Didn't she date Rick's brother?

But this is my first Blog appearance....

Meg did go out with Jeff for quite some time. Actually, Jeff's most interesting date was his 8th grade dance date! I was at Rick's house with friends for Trivial Pursuit fun and we went to pick Jeff and his date up from the dance. Rick and I had to keep from laughing when Jeff got in the car...sans date!!

I had forgotten Meg and Jeff dated. This is the comment chain that just won't end!

Welcome to the party, Meg. When are you starting your blog?

Ben Affleck Should Stick to Directing

Image
Gone Baby Gone (2007) Starring Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan, Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris; co-written and directed by Ben Affleck. Ben’s brother proves to be the real actor in the family, and manages a performance with some depth which holds its own against performances by Morgan Freeman as a revered Boston police legend and terrific Ed Harris as a tough Boston cop with questionable ethics. Affleck is private missing persons investigator Patrick Kenzie, affable but tough, with plenty of street contacts from whom he gathers his information. He is hired by a grieving family to assist the police in finding a missing, presumed kidnapped, child, and he and his girlfriend-slash-associate take the case, finding themselves up against more than they bargained for. The film moves forward through the first and for most of the second act with smooth predictability -- the likely suspect is introduced, a tough streetwise cop gets angry, time is running out on the missing little girl. Can she still...
