The Favourite Game

Post by John Etherington »

Well, I think I'll skip the premiere, unless I can find a package deal that includes a toboggan run (highly likely at that time of year!). But seriously, they should have made a movie of this, starring Dustin Hoffmann, in 1968...and as for using Leonard's songs as background music...forget it! Leonard's songs should not be background music for anything (well, almost anything!).

Rain Man and Last Year's Man have not the same charisma to me. Sorry again! :D

The main character, again, had to be a poetic symbol. For me his eyes where more attractive than his teeth. Sensitive eyes. Look at this picture. :shock:

Yes, I tried not to 'go there,' Tchocolatl ~ but, you're quite right. Kind of a smoother version of James Dean in a way, too. Really hard to say, but definitely appealing. No question. I can see a Leonardesque charisma thing going on there, as well :) .

Not such a bad wandering JD.

For the your "I can see a Leonardesque charisma thing going on there, as well" this actor (JR Bourne) had the advantage of being a mix of this :
