The Rob Ryan one always makes me laugh - I was worried he wouldn’t be in there (head coach-only-ism, or something)

I liked him better when he was fighting vampires in "Blade."

I’m glad he included Coughlin. He looks like he is going to explode at least once every game. Gruden had some great grimaces too.

probably no reason to include Belichick sense his expression wouldn’t change if he got kicked in the gnads or just got told he won a date with Mary Lou Retton

True, he’s always got that constipated look.

Ever seen Mike Tomlin express any emotion? He may be a robot.

True - but his look always has the same effect on me as Michael Keaton’s in a lot of his movies: he may look non-plussed, but there’s something bubbling under those eyes that’s some combo of evil and rage that you don’t want to be on the wrong side of.

Let this Spawn of Satan be consigned to the Chthonian Abyss
there to burn in the unquenchable fires of that precinct!


America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

EAGLES UP! Once more unto the breach, my friends, once more!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Yes, you can tell when he’s seething. That’s about it. There is never any happy.

Ignore the ‘ch’

‘thonic’, like ‘sonic’ only with a TH, but not the TH in ‘thomas’.

In fact, think ‘thong’.

I like that better. ‘Thonic’, as in ‘all things having to do with a thong bikini’.

My fave movie he was in was "Jackie Brown" - but that's not really what you asked - no one would consider that movie Michael Keaton's movie.

I want to say "Mr. Mom" - but I know that's not my fave - I just love Teri Garr so very much.

So my real answer is "Beetlejuice" - he's just too damn cool in there.

I'm ashamed to admit - since I'm a huge fan of Weird Al - that I haven't seen "Johnny Dangerously" yet.

What's yours SG?

It wasn’t a nose job. She had a deviated septum, and the surgery was not successful. She had contemplated a second and decided against.

She’s both hot and smart - a Fox trait.

Jaimey Colby being hottest and smartest on that channel right now.

I swear when they did Alison Krause of bluegrass fame over they messed with her nose. She lost that perfect twang she had a younger thang - makes me sad.

Mine too! I remember he was in some creepy stalker type movie and I hated him being a bad guy.
