I watched the movie "8mm" with Nicolas Cage (he was sitting right next to me:) last week. In this movie there is this guy who always wears a black S&M mask. At the end he finally takes it off, and he's got the same body as George (small, not thin:) and he is balding. Now I said to Nicolas: "This guy looks like George without glasses!". Then the 8mm-George puts on his glasses, exactly the ones George has! So I think: "The next you know this guy is called George, also!!!". And the 8mm-George-lookalike says: "My name is George." Unbelievable... Anyone else notice this?

I didn't notice it. In fact, when I saw the guy's face, I thought, "Hey, it looks like that child molester from 'The Devil's Advocate'!" Which, of course, it was--they're both played by the same actor, Christopher Bauer: :-) http://us.imdb.com/Name?Bauer,+Christopher

I thought 8mm was a decent flick, if somewhat flawed by the drawn-out ending. Joaquin Phoenix's performance was particularly good as "Max California".

He didn't happen to follow up "My name is George" with "I'm unemployed and I live with my parents" did he?

Dave (too much to ask?)
