Subject: Larazade and Lara Croft

Message:
That's weird that a drink would name itself after a video game character. I can't wait until Pepsi changes its name to Princess Toadstoolsi. Did anyone out there see Tomb Raider? I heard that Chris Barrie (TV's Rimmer) is in it but should have hada bigger part. That's almost enought to get me to go see it.

If Danny John-Jules isn't in it, I'm not interested.

Danny-mania!

Then the Rick Morranis "Little Shop of Horrors" is for you--Danny John-Jules is in it for about 5 seconds as one of 4 guys singing in the street during a musical number.

I'm also getting quite profiscient at Mac-MacDonald-spotting (Mac MacDonald being the Captain of the ship Red Dwarf, before the radiation leak & in season 8). In The 5th Element, he plays a cop whose partner is buying food from a future McDonald's, but then Bruce Willis drives by in his cab & makes Mac squeeze his sodas so they spill all over him. A space-car chase ensues. He's in some other stuff that I've spotted him in (sci-fi-ish, mostly), but I can't remember what they are now. Woo!

Well spotted. Mac MacDonald also appears in an early scene in Nightbreed, in which he and his wife are messily murdered by the bloke in the mask.

Yeah, Chris Barrie's great In Tomb Raider. I kept expecting him to say 'Miladdo'.

Danny John-Jules is also in Labyrinth, that Jim Henson movie with David Bowie... he's the voice of one of the pink monsters that take off their heads and dance and sing.

Wow... I didn't know that Mac MacDonald had such a big cheering section. I didn't know his name, either. I thought of him as "the guy who loves mint choc ice cream" and "the guy who the first episodes of Red Dwarf seem 100% more amateurish". I'm glad he has other credits.
