You Gotta Be Kidding Me.

If I were to ask you, humble readers, what regular punchline on this website you'd first suspect of having a bit part in a C movie, who would you pick?

What if I told you the plot of the movie Julie and Jack, as relayed by IMDB.com?

Jack Livingston is looking for true love. He is a successful computer chip salesman for STELLAchip Corporation in high-tech Silicon Valley. With a suggestion from his best friend, Mark Stevens, he reluctantly subscribes to an Internet dating service, CupidMatchmaker.net where he meets Julie Romanov, a beautiful genius computer software developer. Jack falls madly in love with Julie. Julie and Jack begin an intense and passionate affair. With Julie, Jack has found his soulmate. And love is forever. But this seemingly perfect love is more than he had visioned. And so Jack's love for Julie is put to the ultimate test!

You have a guess yet?

Yes, that's right. Playing the part of the cleverly named "Tom Davis" in this 2003 blockbuster was none other than our very own Pierluigi Oliverio.

Neither IMDB nor the website for the movie has a photo of Pierre in character, which is a mighty, mighty shame. The site does, however, have a trailer (below), with looping background music that sets exactly the right tone of tedium.



The movie is portrayed as a romance, but appears to have a thriller twist, according to IMDB, involving (cue looping scary music): nanotechnology! Is Julie a robot from the future? Is there more to Jack than meets the eye? Does Tom Davis love erotica? Find out, in this James Nguyen-produced winner of the Festival Prize from Sacramento GAFFERS!

You realize, of course, that I'm going to have to issue a bounty for the first person to produce a clip of Mr. Oliverio's star turn. To get you started, it's available for download. But damned if I'm paying eight bucks for Pierluigi's life story.
