Probably some french speaking reader, but not all big fans of Jerry Lewis (and are you trying to tell us that Jerry Lewis is french?!?)

[bky]

I thought Lewis was pretty big over there /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[bruine]

I can't tell for the real french, but here in Quebec, he was quite big, but it's along time ago.

Not to burst your bubble /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif but that's simply Mac OS X's "Clown Fish" desktop picture (/Library/Desktop Pictures/Nature/Clown Fish.jpg).

You also forgets to point out that Macy says "how ya doing there."

Yes, I did. It's right there in my notes, too, Right between Spacey and Hoffman. Inexcusable.
This is corrected now.

Has anybody noticed the following? Probably; if so, apologies. If not, it's an interesting footnote to the history of Apple ads.
Anybody remember the first print ads for the ORIGINAL 128K Macintosh? The screen of the 128K Mac said "hello" -- all lower case, in script. It would have been really kewl if Apple's screen shot of the iPhone had "hello" written that way! /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh my lord, Dan. Did you just admit to seeing both Charlie's Angels AND Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle?

Not to worry; I've seen only the first. So the fact that I remember that scene confirms that it was in the first one /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The article has been updated again now that Dan Frakes -- the world's foremost expert on Charlie's Angels -- has confirmed the Cameron Diaz clip.
Our remaining points of contention:
The Jerry Lewis clip
The Clark Gable clip
Whether it's Robert Redford in The Candidate, Three Days of the Condor, All the President's Men, or something else entirely
Is that Harrison Ford in The Fugitive or isn't it?
* The Robert DeNiro clip
Everything else has been confirmed and double-checked.

[OM_user]

Not sure, but perhaps the Harrison Ford clip is from Witness?

[Jason Snell]

That was my original thought, but he looks too young to be "Witness" era Ford to me.

[OM_user]

Too young? I was thinking he might be too old for it to be from that film. Witness came out in '85, so it's over 20 years ago now. The Fugitive came out in '93, so I'm not sure I get the logic, unless I'm misunderstanding something.
The reason I said it might be from Witness is because the background almost looks like the inside of a police precinct, which would fit with that film.
Also, through most of The Fugitive he was not in a suit from what I can recall.
I guess someone will have to rent his movies and watch them to find out.
