I wish my J! career would turn into a movie career! I had no idea that kid was also a J! Player. I was already excited for the movie because the book is beyond incredible, but now I'm looking forward to it even more!

He was on a day before me, so I talked to him a bit at the taping. He was a bit of an outcast (sorry!), but this part seems perfect for him.
In related news, no one ever talks about me being a Kids week-champion turned Boardie! I thought I would have been perfect for the part.

The movie about my J! career won a few Oscars, including Best Picture: Crash.

Re: "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" with Thomas Horn
since best pictures are, quite literally, the only thing i learned specifically as preparation for jeopardy, i feel pretty confident in saying that i'm not there, a night at the opera, four weddings and a funeral, and mission: impossible all failed to win best picture. (i am pretty sure that was intentional in vanya's case.)MarkBarrett wrote:Which Best Picture winner best describes your J! career?
as for me, i guess the obvious micro answer would be mutiny on the bounty. on a macro level, i'll go with the best years of our lives.
