Its a widely believe factoid that movies exist and that they may or may not have contained characters played by actors.

It is also known that these characters have names similiar in structure to my own name of "Jimmy Parker".

With the help of the one the great wonders of the internet, the internet movie database @ www.imdb.com I set out to see exactly how similiar these names are to my very own, here are the shocking results.

Linden Ashby (Jimmy Parker)
Shelter (1998)

So anyone else feature in a feature?

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Thursday, 14 November 2002 12:18 (twenty-three years ago)

No. But the chances of anyone else coming up with my name (other than my parents) were pretty slim really weren't they.

I do have some oddly named friends, odd as well as oddly named mind you.

It's a medium known fact that I took the moniker "Lynksey" whilst staring at the closing credits of Heavenly Creatures whilst stoned. However I'd recomend the Maggie Lynskey unithon instead - http://us.imdb.com/Name?Lynskey,+Maggie

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 14 November 2002 13:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Are you implying that I'm odd?

― Celeste (Celeste), Thursday, 14 November 2002 13:47 (twenty-three years ago)

There was no implication, it was a downright accusation.

So the question is when are we doing the "Jimmy Parker" movie marathon?

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Thursday, 14 November 2002 14:20 (twenty-three years ago)

We could do a Sean Hall marathon . . . believe it or not one Sean Tyler Hall stars in a TV series called "The MacKenzies of Paradise Cove"

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 14 November 2002 15:40 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't believe it.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Thursday, 14 November 2002 16:08 (twenty-three years ago)

The series sounds like crap, which is what you'd expect

― Weebleman (StillSimon), Thursday, 14 November 2002 21:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Celeste stars in an animated film titled "Babar the Elephant"

Guess what! I really hoped no-one would mention that. I have always hated those books. (Bad childhood memories of people saying I should read Babar instead of the much more advanced books I was reading at the time.)

― Celeste (Celeste), Monday, 18 November 2002 02:02 (twenty-three years ago)

What books were you reading?

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Monday, 18 November 2002 11:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Enid Blyton, Richard Adams, Tolstoy Charles and Mary Lamb and Catherine Cookson. I had a very wide range of tastes.

― Celeste (Celeste), Monday, 18 November 2002 21:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay, I admit it, I was fibbing about the Tolstoy.

― Celeste (Celeste), Monday, 18 November 2002 23:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd take Barbar over Enid Blyton anyday.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Monday, 18 November 2002 23:35 (twenty-three years ago)

That conjures up a distinctly unappealing mental picture.

― Rex (Rex), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 01:15 (twenty-three years ago)

three months pass...

You don't have to live with him.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 24 February 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Who? Enid Blyton?

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:51 (twenty-two years ago)

No, Barbar- Enid was a girl. Unless you know something more? I always felt that some of the Famous Five, not to mention the Secret Seven, probably had quite interesting personal lives. There was always at least one girl who acted like a boy all the time, anyway.
