<p>I was thinking the same thing - about a separate Beatle thread - since I asked the question, “Favorite Beatle?”.</p>
<p>The Beatles really are a huge part of the culture of our generation.</p>
<p>Wow - that could be another thread - “Hallmarks of our Generation”! I’m sure there are many different things for each of us “parents of college kids”, but there are certain things that really define us as a generation (the Beatles being one of them).</p>
<p>Shall we move to a new thread?</p>
<p>P.S. geezermom - I think the answer to your last question is, “Yes!”.</p>
<p>JFK, Jr. Princess Diana - several of our icons now gone… (both about my age - that really makes you think about what they could have contributed to the world - and what WE are contributing).</p>
<p>I like Daniel Craig pretty well and I never saw Pierce Brosnan as 007, although my sister was a big Remington Steele fan , I did like him in the Matador though and the Thomas Crown affair ( although the whole film I was trying to figure out how Rene Russos hair was cut, so mine would look like that ) :)</p>
<p>Agree ek - love Pierce Brosnan & he was a good 007, but Daniel Craig is awesome in that role - brings the right amount of edginess. He doesn’t fit the idea of a “totally smooth” James Bond, but for some reason I really really liked him in Casino Royale. I don’t know what it is, but you can’t take your eyes off of him!</p>
<p>Viggo Mortensen has the same effect on me - must be something about the eyes…</p>
<p>I first became aware of Daniel Craig in the movie “Munich”…and Eric Bana as well. Unfortunately, it was such a serious topic for me since I vividly remember watching those summer games, there wasn’t much in the way of the ooo-la-la factor going for me at that time. But since then…oh my. ;)</p>
<p>I had to laugh about Viggo too. Watched “Witness” on an old movie channel last week…and there was Viggo…looking sexy in Amish-wear. lol!</p>
<p>i loved sean connery until i learned he was/is really bald, was/is alcoholic and was/is a woman abuser!
YES, a Beatles’ Thread!!! ( yaya, yaaah)</p>
<p>Matt Damon, not so much. Even my 16 year old DD was like “um no”. Matthew M. definitely not. The guy doesn’t shower and he brushes his teeth while crossing streets…Too dirty and too weird for me.<br>
Hugh Laurie, great sense of humor.<br>
Daniel Cragg my favorite Bond.<br>
JFK Jr. met him a few times in my much younger days when he was at Brown and I was a “Wheatie”. Hmmm. Rather than take away someone’s idol, I’ll leave it alone.</p>
<p>ebeeeee - oh dish about JFK, Jr.! You can’t put a teaser like that out there & then not follow up! I don’t think anyone would mind (didn’t mean to imply from my earlier post that he was on my list - just that he & Diana & I were all born within a few months of eachother; now they’re gone & I’m still here! Makes me want to do something worthwhile for some reason!).</p>
<p>Well - he was on my list and I’d still like to hear the dirt. What the heck…
Anyway, I’m shallow enough that I’m basing it mostly on looks anyhow.</p>
<p>And add me to the list of people who’d be embarassed if their kids read this!</p>
<p>I can’t believe I’m admitting this- my teenage crush was…Dick Cavett!! I thought he was cute and brilliant, (didn’t think about height, lol) and I kept a picture of him in my notebook!</p>
<p>Love Pierce Brosnan now (Irish, of course!)</p>
<p>My youngest brother is the spitting image of JFK, Jr., and a brilliant cardiologist- my family’s own Dr. McDreamy!</p>
<p>Love this thread… I was reminded of the Paul Newman story my MIL told me that happened, oh, some 15-20 years ago. A lady was getting an ice cream cone in an ice cream parlor in, I think, Mystic CT, when in walks Paul Newman. He waits while she is served and she’s just all gaga making eyes at him. He goes up and gets served and is walking out of the store when the lady goes to the server, “Hey, you never gave me my ice cream cone!” Paul pokes his head back in the door and says, “Yes he did, you put it in your purse.”</p>
<p>I just love Owen Wilson, Hugh Jackman, Gary Sinese, and Sean Connery. And I can’t forget Viggo, yummy!!</p>
<p>You women can SAY you swoon over Joseph Finnes and Hugh Jackman all you want…but you know deep down inside that Dog the bounty hunter, the father on “American Chopper,” or Brian Urlacher, or even Snoop Dog are the guys you wish would scoop you up when the going got rough.</p>
