"The best part of that movie was seeing Billy in jeans." I agree. Keep the Change was the worst Billy film ever.
Passed Away is in the "Bad" category too. It tried to be a comedy, but the sitcom-like situations and setups were so silly and outrageous that the jokes fell flat. Like hiding a fugitive in a casket. Just bad writing. Good cast though, and I think it was one of those situations that each talented actor was roped in by the thought of working with another. Bob Hoskins, Peter Reigert, Blair Brown, Frances McDormand, Maureen Stapleton, and Billy, all underutilized.
I have to say that watching Billy play so much against his usual role--as a dumb guy with an inferiority complex due to a larger-than-life father, was amusing at times. Yet even that was strange, as he would suddenly revert to a forceful assertive guy, like attacking the kid who knocked up his daughter. In the limousine on the way to dad's burial. See what I mean about what is considered funny? My favorite line was a bad guy saying Francis Scanlon (his character) could use his "low-budget Kennedy charm" to be a PR guy. An inside joke but also insulting. Forgettable film, don't bother if you're a real Petersen fan.

Pombal. That was the name I wanted to remember. What a great saying from a far-seeing man. To see a better city in all that destruction, an opportunity to improve while grieving for their dead. Thank you for helping with those names too--Belem, Joao V, they are beautiful names.
I too have felt 2 very minor earthquakes. In NYC and in a town called Saratoga Springs, NY. Both times it was the weird feeling in the atmosphere, unease, not so much the movement of the earth. I learned later what happened.
I will write more later, I am going to write a new chapter tonight , You have good taste in TV shows! I like many of them too.
Ate ja!

"ahhh I didn't catch that, well spotted :) and LOL yeaah... you get Gunshy shown on tv still? I hate living in the UK lol, we don't get many of his films shown here, I do recommend Passed Away, Billy's character is so funny, he isn't very smart in that film but that's what makes his character funny.
"

Good. I will keep looking for Passed Away, I know I would enjoy seeing Billy in a funny role! Thanks for posting, gsrgirl4eva (so am I).

"LOL.....I think that Grissom was interested in LH's mind rather than her body. She surprised him in that she was so insightful and smart. Billy, as victorytheatre posted, has said that LH and Grissom did not sleep together. I believe him. When he asked Heather to stay in Leave Out All The Rest, I feel it was just for comfort and to talk. She was instrumental in getting Grissom to 'wake up and smell the coffee' that he needed and wanted Sara more than he needed and wanted the lab. "

I know she helped Grissom. It was interesting to watch Grissom's face when LH spoke, almost word for word some of the same things Sara had told him.

Well, for years I would stay at Mom and Dad's overnight Christmas Eve, but would not get much sleep. Mom never wrapped a present until Christmas Eve, so we would be up until 3 or 4 am, there were 7 of us kids, 12 Grandkids and about 18 Great Grandkids--anyway, it was a lot of paper and tape. I remember getting up Christmas morning and Dad saying, "you can open one present before breakfast". That never worked. Then Mom would make eggs, sausage gravy, biscuts, a great breakfast. Our family is so big now that we have a family "soup and salad" holiday party the 2nd Sunday in Dec, that way everyone can stay home Christmas Day with their kids and grandkids.
