Hey Dan. Thanks for the information, visit, comment and trivia lists. I think, I used to get Ving mixed up with Bill “Predator” Duke….especially the first time I saw Pulp Fiction when his first scene is from the back of his head. I thought it was the Predator guy until we finally see him later in the movie. So Ving almost cracks the Top 300…..pretty darn good! Not surprised his most frequent Oracle co-star is Tom Cruise…..pretty sure they are making parts 7 and 8 in the near future. I saw a photo of Cruise with the MI cast….he is starting to show some age….granted…I am throwing that rock from my glass house…lol. Looking at the second list…26 Oscar winning co-stars is low…but will go up once his Pulp Fiction cast mates start winning some Oscars….lol. Good stuff as always.
Alright alright alright…..as Matthew McConaughey would say.
1. This page comes from our newly installed database on a new computer, a new server, and a new backup system.
2. Granted not all the bugs have been worked out…..but a new page using the new equipment means we will get back on track…..granted this was a very expensive fix…..but don’t worry….we are paying the entire bill for you….lol.
3. I was actually watching Ving in Baby Boy just last night….so when the time came for a new subject he popped into my head.
4. We had 26 of his movies already in the database….but we researched another 40 of his movies using that new program.
5. Overall I have seen 35 of his movies. Pulp Fiction is an all-time favorite. Con-Air is a fun popcorn movie. He is one of the parts I really enjoy in the M.I. movies.
6. Now we go back to the UMR lab to get all those bugs fixed.
