    Why do you think they call it "fox" news?

    That slang only works if targeting old people who remember the '70s. OK, good point.

    I had platforms in 7th grade. All the boys did. Got 'em from Mervyn's.

    If you wear an unusually large or small size, Wal-Mart still has some in their warehouse...

    I ran into a high school classmate a few years after graduation, on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley. He had been a stoner while in high school. I asked him what he was up to. I kinda knew the answer, since he had coke baggies in his pockets. He gave me his business card. Yes, he wa an "entrepreneur."

    ALL my noah questions?

    1) why was this movie made?

    2) why did russell crowe agree to be in this movie?

    3) we know you didn't have much in the way of career choices, but even so, looking back, don't you regret being in this movie?

    that about covers it.

    Given the choice of doing shlock like this and being stuck in a "Hermione Granger"-shaped box for the rest of her career...

    She's trying. Bling Ring, Perks of a Wallflower, a small part in My Week with Marilyn. Nothing really yet to launch her post-Hermoine career.

    It happened to Richard Thomas (John-Boy Walton), Ed O'Neill and pretty much every starring Norman Lear character except Carroll O'Connor, who reinvented himself as Chief of Spah-tuh.

    Shatner did very well to not be eternal Captain Kirk, first as T. J. Hooker and then as self-parodying pitchman. Nimoy took himself more seriously and went nowhere.

    I don't think anyone remembers Al Bundy at this point.

    I think that Meathead, Maude, and George Jefferson did alright for themselves as well.

    Come on, man! Nimoy did what he was supposed to do- he took himself seriously and went home, secure in the knowledge that there IS no encore after being Spock (or Matt Dillon or Josey Wales).

    I'd rather be a cheeseball and still get the work. I guess you know where I stand on pride then.

    I'm someone, and I didn't watch every MWC episode by a long shot. It's all any of us will remember Ed O'Neill for.

    They all did fine financially, but they are known for exactly what you just listed- Lear roles.

    He doesn't need the work! His rent is paid and everything else would be a step down. You have more pride when your belly is full.

    He's currently had a pretty decent run on Modern Family. Now, Christina Applegate and David Faustino? That's a different story. (And, for the record, I'm shocked that I can even remember the latter's name.)
    There's a generation of people that know the first two more as a movie director and one of the old ladies from The Golden Girls.

    Don't know anything about Modern Family. Is it a newer (post-1980s) show?

    That generation grew up watching Maude and AITF. The kids you're referencing didn't watch Golden Girls, and they don't know who Bea Arthur or Rob Reiner are at all.
