Okay, you coven of nerdlings! Movie nerds that is. Question: Who is the actor that if you added up all the movies he has been in, it would total the highest money grossing list of pictures ever? Matt is exempt from answering for he and I talked about it some months ago. Sorry, Matt. You can try to answer part No. 2.....the random movie quote for the day. "What did I tell you boys and girls, don't ever argue with the big dog. The big dog is always Wright!"
Happy Holloween..... Go, Bella and Joseph

I am going to stew about this one for awhile.......
Joseph???????????????
Oh, bip! I think I ment Jacob (Jake) and not Joseph. I has been hard for me to absorb the second book. Sorry! It is getting better now that I am about done.
The second one is indeed a bit weird, and most people's least favorite. The Italy stuff at the end is super cool though. The third one is GREAT! My personal favorite.
I must stew awhile as well. I've got a couple of names in my head.
I know the quote, What do I do? I don't want to give it away, unless this is a race and first place is all that matters and the rest of you suck.
Sweet! The word verification for me right now is kingsta!! That is an awesome word!
Leave him a MESSAGE on myspace. Then no one else will see it. You suck!
Hey: Gangsta, I mean Kingsta...go ahead and give your answer on my space or email and let's let this contest go awhile. Yo, Peeps, you can make your guesses on the movie trivia question here in the comments section. You will be supprised by the guy. Em's, he was in one of your favorite movies...course he must have been in a lot of movies to have his movies gross so much...
That would be a good weekend for me. E.R.?
My guess is Johnny Depp. First one that popped into my head. I don't know so it doesn't matter. No idea on the quote. You guys watch way more movies than I do. I can't believe you called Jacob, Joseph. Haha. For a minute I thought you meant Edward and I was like...uh seriously? So are you a werewolf fan grandpa?
Based on dad's hint (and I am basing this guess solely on movies listed in my myspace profile, I guess:
Bruce Willis or Jack Nicholson
Willis would be the one to surprise me, Jack, I don't think dad would think we would all be surprised by that. But those are my best guesses at the moment.
So I've been thinking about this. Dad says highest grossing movies. At first big hollywood names like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks came to mind. But, when you think about how much money the movies they are in cost to make I'm not sure their movies gross all that much.
And dad, you didn't say lead actor. Is it a lead actor? Because if it's not, it could be someone like Ron Howard's brother Clint, who has been in about a million movies. So by the huge number of movies he's been in it could be someone like him.
Or, it could be an actor from a long time ago when it didn't cost so much to make movies. When people didn't get absurd salaries, spend millions on special effects etc. So it could be someone like Charlie Chaplin or John Wayne. I mean really, how much could it cost to film a bunch of guys riding horses in Kanab?
hmmmmmm something to stew about. I love it. And I have no clue on the quote.
Good day, Peeps: No,no and no! It is not Sparrow Depp, not The Jack and not Demi Willis, er..Bruce. Accounting lesson for Sue: It's gross ticket sales, not net sales. The total money of all the ticket sales regardless of the cost of the movie. That is why John Wayne is not close as he made all his films in the old days of 50 cent tickets and so his films didn't gross that much. So it has to be a pretty modern actor that has been in a lot of movies and some that made a lot of money. Cruse and Hanks are good thinking, but wrong. This guy will be a supprise, but he has had the lead in some films and bit parts or at least lesser parts in other films. Hint: Not really a romanic leading guy type. Keep guessing, maybe tomorrow I'll give a hint that will give it away...at least Emily will see it is between two guys. Oh, and Sue, I thought you would get the quote...hint..think about the actor we trashed awhile back in a posting.
Well you shot my theories down! So based on your hints about Emily, I'm guessing the movie you say he is in that she loves is Bandits. Is it Billy Bob Thornton?
Okay, little darlings, here are the giveaway hints to this little contest. I'll start with an old, old, joke I first heard in the
60's: "A guy comes back from heaven after a near death experience and holds a news conference. A reporter asks him "What is God like?" He answers: "First of all, She's Black!" Yeah, the actor is Black. Plus one of you Peepettes in Utah has or had this guy on a poster in her house. I think it is Emily. Got it now? Supprise, huh!! Matt, texted me the correct answer to the movie quote last night..Waytogo, Foos. It's Tommy Lee Jones saying this to his crew walking into their office after hearing from Richard Kimball in the Fugutive. Have a good "Sunday with Jesus"
The only poster I can think of that Em had hanging up is from Pulp Fiction. So it must be Samuel L Jackson!
Way to stump us all dad! And I've heard that joke before, isn't it a George Carlin joke?

Yeah, it's got to be Samuel. That is surprising, but makes sense when thinking about it. Cath also has that poster, so that's two peepettes.
The quote was vaguely familiar, but I haven't seen that movie in years and years, so I am not surprised I didn't get it. Good job Matt.
Yeah, It's Samuel. I was supprised myself when I read it, but he has been in a lot of movies. He had a minor part in Jurassic Park. Was he in the Star Wars films? So if you add them all up he wins...
He was in the 3 newer Star Wars films. He was part of the whole Jedi council thingy. I think he was in a Die Hard too. He had a pretty good role in Jurassic Park. He was one of the computer guys along side Newman.
Way to go Samuel Jackson. I like him. I'm really glad it was an actor I like, instead of one I don't like, like what's his name. The Dances with Wolves guy. I totally can't think of his name!
I love kevin Costner. Here is where we part, Sue babe! Tin Cup and Fields of Dreams are on my list of 10 top films ever. Two other baseball films were good. Bull Durham, Love of the Game. His first "Silverado" was excellent. Yeah, Waterworld was pretty Hud Sauce as was the Postman. But The Untouchables? another top 10 ever! of course I have way more movies than 10 in my top ten, but you know what I mean. Did you ever see "Dances with Wolves", Sue? The Bodyguard was pretty sucko also except for Whitney singing her great cover song over the titles and credits at the end. Worth watching the whole dumb movie for that! There is no way on earth that someone could watch "Untouchables", "Field of Dreams", "Tin Cup" and "Dances" and not like Kevin Costner. Just no #%&#@#$% way!!! So, there! I had my rant for the day.
Oh yeah! Kevin Costner! I kept thinking his name was Nick something.
You are soooo going to kill me dad! I've only seen 2 of his movies. The Robin Hood one and Open Range. You have yelled at me before for not seeing Dances with Wolves. So I guess you and I need to come to some sort of compromise like you and Em did with Mystic River and Cinderella Man. I can't think of what movie I'll make you watch right now. I'll let you know when I think of one.
You do NOT need to see Dances with Wolves Sue. My dad used to watch that every month. It's ridiculous, and way too many male butts in it. They rip out a buffalo heart and eat it raw, they saw off peoples legs. I don't remember the ending but I think it sucked. And Kevin Costner bugs me too. I can't stand baseball movies, and he seems to be a wannabe pro baseball player. Why not go play baseball instead? But there is a really cool guy in me and Matts ward who sounds just like Kevin Costner, so we call him Brother Costner. Haha.
Oh man B, I think Dad is going to yell at both of us! He loves Dances with Wolves! You should have seen the look on his face when I told him years ago I had never seen that movie. Lots of male butts huh? hmmmmm. (kidding)
I haven't seen enough Kevin Costner stuff to recognize his voice in someone else.
Haha, Dad was looking over me shoulder as I wrote most of that comment, and he just kept shaking his head. Dads must like Dances with Wolves. My dad had two copies, and George-dad has two copies. What is wrong with the world.
The world is just fine, B. Maybe not after tomorrow when B. Obama wins the election, but for now, rock on! I have been counting to 10 for two days to cool down so I wouldn't say anything hurtful to you two. There is some Civil War violence, some indian violence and killing of Buffalo. Yeah, a butt scene with my boy Kevin. But the movie, is just good. great even in my opinion. An epic 1868 western movie. Best ever treatment of Indians and their land and lives. Done with humor and realism and good character development. And they were of the Sioux tribe, Sue. Costner played a great role, likeable and trusting. It is a classic epic movie that you really could get into and learn about the plains indians. Do yourself a favor and get over your hangups about Kevin C and watch with attention the movie and you will have to admit you liked it... What can I say about two copies of the thing.
ha,ha dad. I bet you did have to wait a couple of days to calm down so you didn't say anything hurtful to me and B. Kevin Costner's butt? ewwwwwww. I assumed it was a bunch of indian butts.
Okay dad, you win. You've repremanded me a few times for not seeing the movie. So I will watch it! I get free non-new release rentals at blockbuster so I'll go there so I don't have to pay for it. I found out last night that Cam hasn't seen it either. So we will watch it just for you dad!
I'm still going to come up with a movie that you have to watch. Any of my peeps have any suggestions?
Kevin Costner is just one of those actors that I have little opinion about. He kind of falls under my radar. Dances With Wolves is actually a pretty good movie. I haven't seen it in like 15 years, but I remember thinking it was really good. Of course Amy thought Somewhere in Time was really good when she was 15...........
How about the movie that lists all the qualifications of Obama to be president? That will take about 30 seconds to watch!
Okay, just for that comment, the movie you have to watch is Fahrenheit 911! I own it so I can loan it to you.
HAHA!
You know what the best part of Fahrenheit 9/11 is....Neil Young's Rockin in the Free World plays on the closing credits. I actually watched this movie last night just for fodder. Totally got up and danced at the end.
That would be the best part of that movie.....
No fair, Sue, no fair. That would be very punitive making me watch Fairenheit 911. Way over the top considering what I am asking you to watch. My crack about watching the Obama movie was what inspired me to post the Stop, Stop post. I didn't want to start taking cheap shots about political matters. Since I am the father of mysteries, I will do as you command, my dear Susan....... I can't even look forward to the closing credits, don't care much for Neil Young either.
2 great Dad quotes from these comments I have to mention:
"I can't even look forward to the closing credits"
and
"Yeah, a butt scene with my boy Kevin."
Having Kevin Costners butt image in my head at the same time Dad says "my boy" was the funniest thing EVER!
