If you’ve ever used the above phrase before then you’re not alone. I was recently watching the trailer for the new George Clooney movie, Leatherheads—a cross between O Brother, Where Art Thou? and The Philadelphia Story—when I saw an actor that I had recently seen in something else, but couldn’t quite place him. So, I IMDB’d the movie and found out that it was Jonathan Pryce, who also played Kiera Knightley’s dad in the Pirates movies. I then remembered that I had thought he played another character in that movie The Golden Compass, but I couldn’t find him in the list of the cast. However, I did find another guy that looks and sounds like Jonathan Pryce named Tom Courtenay, who played Newman Noggs in one of my all-time favorite movies, Nicholas Nickleby. Few! Tragedy averted. Has this ever happened to you? Do you have any IMDB stories??

Am I the only one who had copy and paste your entry to translate it?
Brilliant.
I love IMDbing stuff. It's a little hobby I have, and it has greatly increased my movie savvy. After watching a movie I just go to it's IMDb page and browse around.
I love Nicholas Nickelby, too. Haven't read the book, though.
wendi - thanks for catching that. i didn't do it deliberately even though it was kind of cool. sometimes when i edit my blog on firefox, it does weird things on internet explorer.
thomas - thank you. i knew i wasn't alone.
I IMDBed the dad from Juno after seeing on Friday night because Sam and I couldn't figure out what he was in . . . he's the boss in the Spiderman movies!
Blair - Awesome!! Yeah, I loved the Dad in Juno, I thought he had some really hilarious scenes, but so did everyone. Did you love it??
I spent exactly one full semester of Accounting 1620 on IMDB. Could I tell you how to meet your IRS 1080 form specifications? No, sir.
But I can tell you the best movies of the Kurt Russell mullet era. (You know it's Escape from New York.)
