Trivial Tuesday

There's plenty of M:I:III hype right now. We've got Tom Cruise on every talk show imaginable. Katie Holmes is about to give birth to his thetan love child. Tom's planning to eat the placenta and umbilical cord right there in the delivery room (No, really. I can't make this stuff up. Look here.) J.J. Abrams is directing the movie and has at least three shows on TV right now (Lost, Alias and What About Brian). While Abrams has directed episodes of his various TV shows including directing MI3 castmember Keri Russel in his first TV series, Felicity, he has not directed a feature film before. He has however, written films in the past. In fact, back in the early 1990's when he was still being credited as Jeffrey Abrams, he wrote the screenplay for a sappy drama starring Harrison Ford.

What was that movie, if you can remember?

Play by the rules and impress us all with your knowledge.

Congrats to Invisible Lizard who was close enough to Regarding Henry to win this week's bragging rights.

I'm going to take a stab at it, based solely on your clue of sappy 90's drama starring HF, and say Raising Henry, or, if I don't have the name right, it's the one where he's a lawyer who gets shot in the head, loses his memory and reverts back to a child-like state. I want to say that Annette Benning was the wife.

I remember the plcenta of my two kids and thinking it looked a lot like liver.

Fried up with butter and onions it might not be that bad.

Certainly if you were a hunter gatherer, living from one meal to the next, it might make sense to consume it.
