(This has to go titleless because it's been days and I just can't think of one.)
I saw Drive Angry this past weekend, and due to the prominent role of Bill Fitchner, it got me thinking about an old website I used to read. Fametracker was kind of a precursor (or maybe companion piece) to Television Without Pity, before it was discontinued in early 2007. It's most popular features seemed to be Hey, It's That Guy, which highlighted popular character actors whose names most people don't know (which is how I learned Bill Fitchner's name years ago), and 2 Stars 1 Slot, which compares stars that seem to fill the same pop culture niche.
As I was reading through a random selection of entries from these two features, I was wondering if the creators ever feel like revisiting any of them to comment on their original opinions or to make updates based on significant changes. For example, I'd say that Jane Lynch no longer qualifies as a Hey, It's That Guy. Really old entries for HITGs include Paul Giamatti and Philip Seymour Hoffman. There's a 2 Stars 1 Slot battle between Kirsten Dunst and Reese Witherspoon declaring Kirsten Dunst the winner. Clearly there's some room for revision here.
So there I was, like an hour ago, clicking around and I came across a particularly interesting entry that I'm pretty sure they'd love to go back and change if they could:
Leelee Sobieski vs. Natalie Portman: Battle of the Bankable Jailbait
For those who want the punchline without clicking on the link, here was their verdict:
Advantage: Leelee Sobieski.
Oops.
