But what's up with this "policeman" credit? Please tell me he isn't just some extra with zero lines. 😲

Maybe we just don't have the full story yet.

He might not be headlining big Hollywood blockbusters anymore, but he certainly stays busy churning out projects.

# Fire Bay (2010) (in production) .... Richard M. Bissell
# Bereavement (2009) (post-production) .... Jonathan Miller
# Young Americans (2010) (completed) .... Policeman
# Psych 9 (2009) (completed) .... Det. Marling
# Streets of Blood (2009) (completed) .... Agent Brown

If you don't pay up, they'll launch a Distributed Denial of Service attack on your site. 😁

Unfortunately, it’s quite a developed issue as well.

briskhound2 said:For sure, but let's be real—not everyone has the bandwidth to binge-watch every single show out there... back in the day, seeing someone in a big-budget Hollywood flick was how you measured their "status," and I guess I'm still kind of stuck in that mindset since I rarely find the motivation to commit to an entire series from start to finish. You catch a movie and you're like, okay, so this guy's still a big deal, he's still relevant, cool. It lets me keep him on the radar—sort of "on ice"—until he pops up again in something else (like Paxton) and actually delivers something solid...

Times have definitely shifted. TV budgets have exploded lately, and you see top-tier screenwriters moving over to television. Just look at shows like *Band of Brothers*, *Damages*, *Rome*, or *Deadwood*. Sure, not every series is a masterpiece, but then again, not every movie is either. A lot of films are just mediocre. Honestly, what do you think—does someone like Bill Paxton make more from movies or from television these days?

briskhound2 said:TV shows just seem to be winning lately—it’s like movies are slowly fading into the background (with a few exceptions, obviously)... But what happened to the big cinema stuff? Think about hits like Twister, Titanic, or U-571... then you’ve got him directing that killer horror movie "Frailty" and he basically vanishes from the spotlight, popping up only in small roles here and there—mostly back in the Alien era. I’d throw Kiefer Sutherland into the mix too, but his show "24" became such a massive global phenomenon (and "Mirrors" kind of squeezed in there as well), so he's pretty much back in the mainstream now—especially since it looks like he might be teaming up with Schumacher again, which hasn't really failed them yet... plus, who knows, maybe Bauer could turn into a full-blown movie franchise one day. I’m honestly hoping Cameron finds a spot for Paxton somewhere just to get him back onto the big screen... He’s more of a character actor than a leading man, but man, he always manages to steal the show from the A-listers...

That old rule doesn't hold up anymore. Nowadays, a huge chunk of quality TV actually rivals the big Hollywood movies.

Now that the attack has finally subsided, is there any data available regarding who is responsible or where the source of the attacks originated?

briskhound2 said:He did a decent job in that thriller/drama ''The Chamber,'' but let’s be real, Gene Hackman basically carried that entire movie on his back, so I'm with you there. It's kind of funny how both him and Alicia Silverstone ended up in the fourth Batman movie. Maybe it's just me, but where the hell did Bill Paxton go? He might not have been an A-lister, but man, as a character actor, he always knew how to elevate a scene...

There are actually three women in Big Love. :-)

Richard Wilson4 said:None of them are hungry...

Some might get wiped out by drugs or booze eventually, but you don't see any of them ending up on the streets...

But that's not even really what I was getting at...

PS
Anyone know what's going on with Jamie Lee Curtis lately?

She mentioned in an interview with an American magazine that she plans to retire from the film industry, noting that *Christmas with the Kranks* would be her final acting role. (November 2004)

briskhound2 said:Anna Paquin—she basically hit that Oscar peak and then just... vanished into a sea of mediocre movies. I mean, she was in X-Men, sure, but it felt like her character was constantly being pushed to the sidelines—just kind of an afterthought, really—and now she’s mostly just doing TV gigs.

Helen Hunt—think about it: she crushed it in *Twister*, which was a massive blockbuster, then followed that up with *As Good as It Gets* and an Oscar... then she did that silly comedy *What Women Want*, which felt like a total vanity project just to show off Mel Gibson's comedic timing outside of *Lethal Weapon*. Now? She's pretty much nowhere to be found. She isn't even that old, and man, she really showed what she was capable of once...

A good number of actors are now starring in top-tier TV series. I honestly believe they’re earning much better pay there than they ever did for those big movie roles.

Jesse Torres4 said:Nick Nolte's last true masterpiece was Affliction, the role that actually earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
Since then, he’s mostly drifted toward alcohol struggles and starring in some pretty questionable, low-budget flicks. Honestly, the last time he felt truly solid on screen was in Tropic Thunder.

As for Kevin Spacey—after snagging his second Oscar, he delivered some great performances in films like The Shipping News and The Life of David Gale. After that, though, he seemed to settle into playing heavy supporting roles in much weaker productions.
Right now, he’s working on a project in post-production called The Men Who Stare at Goats, which should see him sharing the screen with big names like Clooney, Bridges, and McGregor.

It’s hard to call either of them "washed up" just yet, but let's face it: Nolte hasn't hit a home run in 12 years, and Spacey hasn't had a standout in 6. 🤷

He also had a role in The Hulk...

Please edit her photo. It’s far too large..

(it matters that they look alike... veoooooooma similar. That's the term for people who are "strikingly similar." Even their actions match up..)

big feet and

(what kind of feet :-) )

a hawk. For now, it's 😁

(the bald eagle and the letter he's carrying)

velvetcrane57 said:three letters C

(it's all about the numbers)

velvetcrane57 said:I think I nailed it, though I am not entirely sure why.

I appreciate the hints.

Actually, it does make sense. Take a look at what is written on the van. :-)

So what about that... or those planes? One on the ground and one in the air?!

Look more closely at what is depicted on the plane in flight.

velvetcrane57 said:Those signs are driving me crazy. What exactly does that "20 yrs" written on that building mean?

(It's already been a day since the response was given. Just remember, this is all part of the British game. ;) )

velvetcrane57 said:And that fellow with the fishing rod.

(Same situation here. I agree with Dana Cruz5. :-) )

raven with an iris

, dragon,

(what is that car even doing there?)

quietdriver3 said:butterfly and bell (I am not sure what the 50th would be, unless butterfly and bell are two different names 😕)

(the movie is more recent. the title explains it quite clearly)

Here are a few hints for you.

Carol Brown77 said:I am stumped: those three Cs.

(Have a little fun with the "numbers.")

that woman who destroys books,

those two quarters in a box

, the man painting the train car,

(the act itself matters, even if it refers to something else entirely.)

Carol Brown77 said:and those scenes with the father and children... I'm not sure if there is more.😠

(The film is famous for its long takes..)

crimsontrucker4 said:You should watch Dark City; she was absolutely stunning in it.

I've always believed that beauty only deepens with age. Just look at that one scene in A Beautiful Mind during the party...
