Dane Cook, Jeremy Piven, and Kid Rock.

CAVEAT: I'm only happy about this one because I like to pretend that the ceiling caved in two seconds after this photo was taken killing all three where they stood.

I like this photo, not totally unlikely, but still a whole lot of famous. Saw first on an ILM thread, I think.

So, Darren Aronofsky has a new AI-generated video series about the American Revolution, "made with Google DeepMind and Salesforce, which will unfurl on Time Magazine’s YouTube channel every week." (Ugh.)

Decided to see if Aronofsky had any previous connection with (Salesforce founder / Time Magazine owner) Marc Benioff and found this cursed photo from SXSW 2018:

ILX needs an American equivalent of Bosom Manor.

Clarinet Cop (Tom D.), Monday, 13 April 2026 06:37 (six days ago)

it's really fucking boring when people from the UK/US assume that because they don't know a celebrity from the US/UK then they can't be famous, it's the ILX pantomime's "look he's behind you" and it is tedious every fucking time.

an uncharacteristically irritated Mr. Rogers (stevie), Monday, 13 April 2026 07:41 (six days ago)

Ernest was a big fave at my primary school in rural Portugal, so I doubt he didn't make his way to the UK as well. His fame was probably limited to children though, so it makes sense Tom D wouldn't know him.

It's more tedious when people from the UK/US assume that because they know a celebrity from the US/UK then they are famous outside the US/UK, so they don't bother naming them - except it's mostly only US ILXors who do this.

Clarinet Cop (Tom D.), Monday, 13 April 2026 08:24 (six days ago)

Anyway, this guy is obviously famous in the USA - and rural Portugal it seems - and no-one is denying that, so that's not the issue.

Clarinet Cop (Tom D.), Monday, 13 April 2026 08:26 (six days ago)

Checked a bit and several Ernest films got released on VHS in the UK - so as in Portugal, the audience would be ppl checking it out at the local video store because the cover appealed, so, again, children.

a ZX spectrum is haunting Europe (Daniel_Rf), Monday, 13 April 2026 08:37 (six days ago)

Ernest films absolutely got released in the UK on VHS - I never watched any but was definitely ambiently aware of his existence.

an uncharacteristically irritated Mr. Rogers (stevie), Monday, 13 April 2026 09:16 (six days ago)

Sorry Stevie, I generally assume everyone knows everything about pop culture but then Ernest seems like such a low budget dopey American thing that I was curious if it went beyond our shore. Sorry to be tedious, I know it’s hard having your time wasted on the internet and all.

Cow_Art, Monday, 13 April 2026 10:24 (six days ago)

Nah I should apologise I was an absolute grumpy bastard above - sorry!

No worries, Vern.

well at least this is the first time it’s ever been proposed that people caption their photos on this thread*, so at least a helpful new era of human consideration and communication will ensue

Red Green is very Canadian, though it also aired on some PBS stations in the 90s as well.

MarkoP, Tuesday, 14 April 2026 02:53 (five days ago)

That's where I saw it. My best friend and I were obsessed with Red Green and Parker Lewis Can't Lose.

Cow_Art, Tuesday, 14 April 2026 10:34 (five days ago)

You don't get Red Green points unless you watched him in his original appearances on the Smith and Smith show, the lowest-budget comedy programme not actually on public access TV.

an uncharacteristically irritated Mr. Rogers (stevie), Tuesday, 14 April 2026 14:12 (five days ago)

It's funny that Springsteen is one of the few huge artists of the rock era who never attempted an acting career. He probably would have done best than others.
