New Trier High School serves a large part of the near north suburbs of Chicago, and so there's a large talent pool.
Something I suppose I should point out, is that the New Trier Township had so many baby boomers that a second school was built. The old school became New Trier East, and the newer one (which I attended) was New Trier West. By the early 80's, though, the enrollment had diminished enough to necessitate the closing of one campus. Becuase the older campus had more room, it once again became New Trier High School. The newer campus was used briefly as a community college, but was vacant enough to be used in movies. The high school in "Uncle Buck" is New Trier West! A new influx of kids in the 90's prompted the re-opening of the west campus, but now it serves as the freshman campus, while upperclassmen go to the east campus.
I don't think any of the stars I listed actually went to New Trier West, though the younger ones might have done their freshman year there. Virgina Madsen is only a few years younger than me, but she went to East.
That ring's not magic. it's based on sound scientific principles. Green energy housed in a giant power battery on Oa, which is overseen by identical little blue men called the Guardians. The power is stored in lanterns which power the rings, so the wearers can create giant boxing gloves,drills, or anything they can think of.
I love that little smiley thingee about as much as I love this one :unsure: but I wish we had a barf one and one that had the eyes rolling up in the head but no smile on the face.
Ann-Margret, Bruce Dern, Rock Hudson, Rainn Wilson, Charlton Heston, Virginia Madsen, Adam Baldwin, Ralph Bellamy, Charlotte Ross, and Carlos Bernard all attended New Trier High School, as did the scoundrel in the attached photo.
Since this thread has such a long history of giving pleasure...I thought I might give it another try... just to see if there's any interest at all. So.... who's who in this clip I ripped from a movie I downloaded? When was the movie made? Who directed? There are ways to be coy about all these questions but the most important questions is... did you guys *like* this movie?? I sure did. Some of the lead actors are still alive...
Hmm.. interesting that folks would know this by the famous line alone having never seen the movie. And its a good movie, too. For those of you who haven't seen it... its more of a chick flick love story than you would think.
I'm betting the brother is going by you guys unrecognized. He was one of the finest actors to appear in Hollywood movies, IMO. I remember going to see a movie back in the early '80's. I was on a double date and didn't really want to see this movie but everybody else wanted to see it so I went. It turned out to be a pretty dang entertaining movie that I think is a little under-rated today because of who the star was. But the actor playing the "I could have been a contender"'s brother had a major role in this movie and though I was a fan, I didn't know that he was in the cast before seeing the movie.
And after seeing the movie? I didn't know who the actor was until I saw the credits roll!! I couldn't believe how fooled I was!! Here was one of my favorite actors and he was so good I didn't even recognize him.
Does anyone have an idea what movie I'm talking about?? Or what actor??
I believe that the actor you're referring to was in "The Lion in Winter," but I wouldn't say it was underrated. The other movies he was in in the early 80's were all fairly unknown.
I was waiting for someone to correct you so it must be a stumper. Late in his career he was in some terrible films. He probably needed the money. But you guys should recognize him from this clip.
My wife must be right.. I'm terrible about communicating. My bad. I was doing all this talking about the actor who plays Marlon Brando's brother in the snippet of the movie I posted. Everyone must have been scratching their heads.. here's the clip again...

Magic? Why that would be just impossible.

Hiwayman, I reckon I stand corrected.
I love that little smiley thingee about as much as I love this one :unsure: but I wish we had a barf one and one that had the eyes rolling up in the head but no smile on the face.
I just want everything don't I?

Good one, DooWap! When that came out, we used to tease my mom, who was maybe 5'2" at the time.

I haven't seen the movie. I don't swim, so I avoid waterfronts. Definitely a fine performance, though I liked him better in "The Freshman."

A classic movie that I've never seen.
Don't have much to say about it,
but you have motivated me to want to see it.

I've gotten behind here but now need to log off so they can disconnect me and get back to loading the truck.
Hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend.
