Okay. take me to the elephants' graveyard. Drop me off up the mountain beyond the frostline. Who the hell are Dakota Fanning and Jennifer Garner? |

Good questions, lem: who IS Dakota Fanning, and who IS Jennifer Garner? I took the questions as more ontological, and I now realize that I don't really know much about either. What makes them tick? What gets a Dakota Fanning out of bed? Heady stuff, lem, heady stuff. 
That's what I'm talkin' about! |

Sure, but it is harder to come up with obits/titles with the limited body of work of newbie actors.
Then we must go backwards in time. |

Yep, plenty left, but it's harder to find actors with a bunch of movies that haven't already been subject to FWPT usage. I commonly see FWPT entries that I know have been used before, some more than once.
It's easy enough to find an actor that nobody's heard of (apart from lemmy  ) from the B&W era with movies that nobody's heard of, but they aren't as much fun, as few recognise the movie reference from the FWPT. |

There is no need to take my sarcastic post literally, nor is there any need to take me seriously.
My point was that the pool for picking weekly candidates is getting shallow, IMHO.
I thought I saw your tongue in your cheek when you were saying 'frostline' but I wasn't sure so ignored it.
But you're right, the day will come when FWTO and FWPT will have done their dash. Not yet though.  |

While Garner (no relation to James, unfortunately) is probably best known for 13 Going on 30, and I see you've also heard about her fame as Ben Affleck's wife.
Dakota Fanning is just some new kid who has had the lead roles in Charlotte's Web, I Am Sam and was the voice of Coraline and Lilo (as in Lilo & Stitch). Not very impressive for a girl turning 16, is it? Ouch!
(Let's hope she stays clean - but these Twilight movies she's in are pretty dark, and could be dangerous for sweet kids like her!)

Lemmy, if you mean you haven't heard of either, then... either I'm shocked or it just shows how detached you must be from modern generic Hollywood fare and gossip mags. I suppose that's a good thing. 
But, if you've never seen or heard these two in a movie then it means you must have missed Juno, Catch Me If You Can and My Neighbour Totoro. That's not a good thing, they range from pretty good to excellent.  |

Jennifer Garner is married to Ben Affleck and starred in that show - um Alias. Dakota Fanning is the little blonde haired girl that played Sean Penn's daughter in I Am Sam and Tom Cruise's daughter in War of the Worlds. Does that help? |
