stevestojan Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 I mean, Seriously, has Ray Charles (yeah, Jamie somethin) not realized that he isn't in fact Ray Charles? Drives me nuts... wasn't he just some washed up comedian anyway ?
stevestojan Posted January 25, 2005 Author Posted January 25, 2005 turns out his name is Jamie Fox... hmmm. who knew? A career saved by the fact that he slightly resembles the REAL ray charles...
/dev/null Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 maybe we can trade travis henry for ray charles
Beerball Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 maybe we can trade travis henry for ray charles 218556[/snapback] Yo man, Ray's dead. Gotta throw in a late round pick to even things out.
IDBillzFan Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 turns out his name is Jamie Fox... hmmm. who knew? A career saved by the fact that he slightly resembles the REAL ray charles... 218554[/snapback] Let's see. Jamie Foxx: two Oscar nominations. One for Best Actor and one for Best Supporting Actor, the latter of which had nothing to do with Ray Charles. And this list of credentials. Yep. That Jamie Foxx. Thank god he looks like Ray Charles, or God knows the only accomplishments in his life would be having a letter to the editor published in a college newspaper prior to landing a job working for a porn site.

I can't even have a little fun at a celeb's expense without you feeling the need to say something? Maybe we can hear the Fabio story again... please?

Nanker Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 sorry, didn't know Jamie Foxx read the board... 218709[/snapback] He can't read you silly. He's f'in BLIND!
DC Tom Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 not sure you need the hyphen there... 218699[/snapback] Probably right...but it's not like I !@#$ing care right now.
DC Tom Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 He can't read you silly. He's f'in BLIND! 218711[/snapback] Really? He must be a great singer, then.
IDBillzFan Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Really? He must be a great singer, then. 218717[/snapback] Or at the very least he can lip sync pretty damn well. Did you ever hear Ray Charles' song "Mess Around"? If you go to this link and scroll down, you can hear a clip of it. The song was used in the movie "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" in one of the best scenes in the movie. John Candy is driving the rental car at night while Steve Martin is sleeping in the passenger seat. The song comes on the radio, and John Candy starts jamming to the song...banging on the steering wheel, playing the air saxaphone, and dragging on his cigarette. He tosses out the window, but it bounces off the window and goes into the back seat, where it starts a fire. John Candy starts to get warm, so he tries to take off his jacket while holding on to the steering wheel. Arm gets caught...and, well...madcap comedy ensues.

The part where they are on the highway collecting Candy's stuff (and the inferno ensues) is right near the Batavia exit. Mindless trivia.

Alaska Darin Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Or at the very least he can lip sync pretty damn well. 218728[/snapback] What got me was Val Kilmer doing Morrison in "The Doors". Damn creepy.
