I remember we mentioned Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross. I'm not sure what the other one was.

I do like Crispin Glover's completely insane Andy Warhol in the Doors movie.

Julia Roberts and Bruce Willis as the punchline to The Player was pretty cool too.

It occurs to me that we missed out Curtis Armstrong in Shanghai Noon. True, his scenes were deleted, but that makes his cameo all the more poignant.

I forget who said this, but "deleting 15 minutes of scenes of Booger is exactly what the Nazis would have done."

That would be seanbaby comparing the makers of Shanghai Noon to the Nazis.
