1. Amsterdam
2. Minneapolis
3. Atlanta
4. Detroit
5. Bangor, Maine


Top 5 cities I hate flying into:

1. San Diego (looks like you're hitting a building)

5. JFK (general principle)

Top 5 scene stealers in movies I can think of off the top of my head:

1, Wilford Brimley as the assistant U.S. attorney general in Absence of Malice – "You had a leak? You call what's goin' on around here a leak? Boy, the last time there was a leak like this, Noah built hisself a boat."

2. Alec Baldwin as Blake in Glengarry Glen Ross: "A-B-C. Always Be Closing."

3, Vincent D''onofrio as Orson Welles in Ed Wood (Diminished only slightly by knowing that the voice was dubbed by someone else.)

4, Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone.

5, James Gammon as Lou Brown in Major League.

Bonus:
Judy Dench as Queen Elizabeth in Shakespeare in Love.

 

Does State of Love and Trust count as a B Side since it was made for a soundtrack?

And I can't see how a list of PJ's best B-sides can be made without including Yellow Ledbetter and Footsteps. Two of the best PJ songs ever.

Top 5 scary movies
1. Halloween
2. The Shining
3. The Exorcist
4. Carrie
5. The Blair Witch Project

 

Nice try, but it's Joshua Cribbs. Joe Cribbs played for the Bills back in the day.

To be fair, I have called Josh Cribbs Joe a time or two myself. But you can't riff on the wrong name and expect to get laughs.

 

Damn...

I thought he was a junior. Oh well, not the first time.
