There's never any mistletoe around when you want it.
Is it me, or does this church look like it's made out of paper? Wow--how deconstructive...

This 1945 "Looney Tunes" cartoon is one of the greatest of all time

Ok, if I can be a Dick Sprang Comic Sans
You Are Comic Sans |
 You are a nothing but a big goofball. You're quite playful and fun! You're widely known for your zany personality and your vivacious attitude. To say that you stand out in a crowd would be a definite understatement. Remember that you are overwhelming at times and that people appreciate you best in small doses. |

Weird coincidence: All three of the actresses I mention here (including Penelope Ann Miller) have played Matthew Broderick's romantic interest
1994:
Mia Sara.
Here again, admittedly, I'm hedging a bit.
Because Sara probably loomed largest in my brain around 1986, when she was Sloane, Ferris' girlfriend in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (she had the greatest hair). She stood out to me and I'd always remembered her.
Then, in 1994, she did a little movie called Timecop--which seems destined to be remembered as "pretty good...for a Jean-Claude Van Damme flick." Certainly that's how I remember it, with one addition:
In said film--let me put this as gently as possible--Mia Sara exposed her breasts to the camera for the first time. You can understand how this was an important moment for me.
Ferris (recently issued on DVD for the third time) remains her most praised work. I paid my own tribute to her in my Girlfriend's Boyfriend screenplay/novel, a character named Jenny Sloane is half-named after Sara's Ferris character. She was also my physical model for the character.
Traci Lind.
I know nothing about this actress--in fact I only remember ever seeing her in one movie, The Road to Wellville. However, in that movie, she displayed one of the prettiest asses I have ever seen, when Matthew Broderick fantasizes he can see her undressed.
(I'm determined not to play around with what I mean in this series of posts--and BTW, click to enlarge, you pervs)
Lind seems to be residing in another corner of the "Whatever Happened To" box, perhaps opposite Penelope Ann Miller.

into the '93 beauty files...
1993:
Laura Dern. Dern isn't one of those women whose hotness jumps out at you like, say, Alexis Bledel. Bledel just looks like a movie and TV star, or a Tiger Beat cover girl.
Dern has more of that Maggie Gyllenhaal thing going on, wherein she looks like a regular person, just who every now and then manages to look like a pinup.
Dern most recently appeared as Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris in the HBO film, "Recount." I haven't seen it, but the film was nominated for 11 Emmys, including a nod for Dern. A role in "Jurassic Park IV" is also said to be in the works.
Now married to musician Ben Harper (that's right, she moans, "Oh Ben," when she...oh hell, I'm not gonna finish, I'm better than that...no I'm not) and a mother.
She was quoted recently as having said
Andie MacDowell
Is she worth it? When she's in a good film ( Short Cuts, Sex, Lies & Videotape), MacDowell can actually be quite a winning actress. I've often said that I consider Groundhog Day
to be the first Bill Murray movie in which I bought the romance.
When she's in a bad movie though (Bad Girls)...she can't help.
She has got nice laugh lines around her eyes...
...and her nipples appear to be made out of adhesive, which must come in handy.
MacDowell joins Sharon Stone, Michelle Pfeiffer and others in trying to stay sexually desirable (in Hollywood) after 50. I don't know if this'll help that or hurt it, but a male colleague from her modeling days has recently published a memoir, in which he reportedly kisses-and-tells about a night they spent together.

Holy crap.
The good news: This is the greatest-looking used book store I've ever seen.
The bad news: It's in Scotland.

Amazing waterfalls and lovely women
I think we've all wondered about this:
Fashion Victim by ~The-Lovely-Hearts on deviantART
I don' ; t savent vraiment qui c'est, mais je la respecte profondément.

Now that's a cheap shot.
"Clone Wars" isn't even as entertaining as the "Empire Strikes Back" game for the Atari 2600 back in the mid-‘80s.
From this attack on George L.
Methinks they're taking this a bit too seriously.
"the most anticipated event of the year"?
I anticipated the new Star Wars movie...which I hope to give a miss, but may be seeing with my nephew...more than this.
They are cos92med heroes, hear them roar
1992 :
Jasmine, Aladdin. Sexiest Disney character ever. (That's right, I said it.)
Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. Halle Berry is sexyhotter than Pfeiffer, to me, and a better actress (again, in mine humble opinion), but comic book movies have not done as well by her,
And especially this role.
