He's Just Not That Into You - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 09-13-2007
Yep. That's the name of the big new Blockbuster. It's great to be out of television.
It's got Scarlet Johanson, Jennifer Anniston, and Drew Barrymore. Plus, that kid from the I'm a Mac commercials.
I won't meet any of them.
I have a partner named Nobby. At first I thought he said Dobby, which would have been cool since then I would have a fictional elf as my partner ( As opposed to a factual elf?) But no. It's Nobby. My partner's name is Nobby. He'll be eleven hundred years old this month
Nobby or Nabih? - Drunk Monk - 09-13-2007
I used to train with this Iraq vet named Nabih. He went into personal training, managed a gym on Santana Row, and then went into personal security work.
Dobby is T's fav character so far, but we're stopped at book 2, awaiting the box set release.
It's Nobby - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 09-13-2007
He's British, don't you know. A cockney from London.
I have to be nicer to Nobby. He worked on Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Jabberwocky. He's in Grail. He's the bobby in the bring out your dead scene. Damn.

Nobby was a bobby? Go figure...

Suuuuuure he was. Every English guy of a "certain age" claims to have worked on a Python movie, just like every homeless guy in camo was a Green Beret or Navy Seal.
Right. Sure. Like, whatever.
I have no reason to believe him - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 09-14-2007
I just do. Or not. Depends on the whims.
He does have the accent to make it sound more convincing.
Nobby Follow Up - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 09-23-2007
He's listed in the credits for MPATHG.
I also might have heard a really cool story about Kubrick and him wanting Nobby to do the construction for Full Metal Jacket. But the shop got really noisy and Nobby's accent thickened appreciably and softened as he told the story about the feckin idjit. Eventually Nobby was fired from the project when he wouldn't cut everyone's salary by 400 pounds a week. At least I think that's what happened.
Seen it - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 02-08-2009
The film is poor. How any self respecting actress can play these whiny chick roles is beyond me. Wait. I would do it for the paycheck.
That being said, the film is tremendous for one reason. Jennifer Connely touches a shelf unit I built and said this work is Fabulous. She says it three times. Each time touching the piece I built. That's a career right there.
I need to return to work.

The last time she said, "He does great work." And Luis Guzman agreed with her.
And FYI, that was the ONLY good thing about this film. Now, last time I checked, I've got boobs. This is a chick flick. I'm the target audience, aren't I? I found this drivel extremely offensive. I thank G-d that I do not know or hang out with anyone remotely like these "women" or the dickless idiots they try to shanghai into marriage, as though that should be the ultimate goal of anyone's existence. What year is this again?

The Queen is my new hero.
New pickup line - cranefly - 02-10-2009
Okay, I know I'm married, and so I'm not supposed to contemplate things like this...
...but still...
I'm sorely tempted to go into a bar, sit down next to a pretty lady, then nonchalantly turn to her and say, "Nice shelf unit."

CF, there has to be a simpler, less painful way to test your martial prowess.
