    I think there was a difference. Kevin Costner tried to have a British accent and was absolutely terrible at it. His accent fades in and out throughout the film.

      Also, I am reminded that I miss byu71 around here.

          I think Finding Forrester is mine. He plays an ornery, reclusive, agorophobic, brilliant writer. Lot's of opportunity to see his acting talents.

          • I love Connery in Finding Forrester but my favorite is The Untouchables. He’s great in a great movie.

                  You had the correct response but didn’t phrase it in the form of a question.

                  He was the show without getting in the way of the show (I’m looking at you, Sajak). I have great memories of watching Jeopardy as a child with my mother and also watch as a parent with my children, and Alex Trebek was the one who facilitated those countless fun memories. I’m glad he got to see the vast outpouring of affection and support from fans over this last while.

                    He was great, although it took me a couple of decades to get past thinking the Art Fleming and Don Pardo combo (60s and 70s) was the better crew.

                    • Wasn't he on the show just a couple of weeks ago?

                      He really handled a devastating illness gracefully.

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                      • I saw this linked on CB, a hilarious demonstration of Jeopardy nerds knowing zip about football.

                        • Fun to think about how Sean Connery may have greeted Alex in the hearafter (SNL style).
