There's one thing I definitely do not like about memes. XD; Most any time when I or anyone else posts them, the only comments received are ones where the commenter wants to be included in the meme, even if other stuff is posted as well. The other stuff is then generally always ignored, even if ordinarily it would not be.

We watched the first three episodes of season five of the X-Files tonight. Wow, the Redux two-parter was awesome. Very thought-provoking and intense. So was the Unusual Suspects episode that showed how Mulder met the Lone Gunmen. The Cigarette Smoking Man is definitely an intriguing character. I've always found him interesting, even more so since I saw the season 4 episode "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man." I was surprised when he was shot in Redux II, as I had originally thought that the assassin seen earlier was after Mulder (though I did begin to suspect the truth at the end of the scene where the assassin was spying on their conversation while aiming his gun).

I just can't believe how badly IMDb.com handles things sometimes. XD; Usually they always say that "sometimes credited as" thing when the actor is credited in more than one way in his films. It's definitely not that way with Jimmy. The other day I was browsing eBay for movie memorabilia the way I like to do, and I found somebody selling some shots from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Included in the listing was a detailed cast, including a James Murphy playing an uncredited crew member. I went to the IMDb to look up this guy and included among his credits was one of the movies credited to Jim Murphy, whom I discovered previously is the same person as Jimmy when I watched Mister Roberts. Oy. Well, anyway, I got the Voyage movie out of the library to doublecheck (haven't watched it yet), but I'm sure this must be him as well. I also have a Spencer Tracy movie called The Last Hurrah. It's a political drama, and Jimmy plays an uncredited office boy. (Oy, he has quite a few roles uncredited by the movies themselves.)

As far as the actual search goes, I have a couple more possible leads and I'm waiting to hear from someone else who may be able to help. One of my contacts seems to have vanished off the face of the earth. XD;

I wish that some of the Bowery Boys fans wouldn't come down so hard on people who like the later movies. XD; Maybe the earlier films were indeed better. Who's to say? It's a matter of personal opinion. But some fans don't just dismiss the later movies as garbage and we shouldn't have to take a lot of crap for that opinion. I honestly don't think I love the later movies so much just because of Myron (even though he is certainly a big part of it). Honestly, I do almost feel like making a semi-rant about the whole subject and posting it to the group, but I probably won't.
