I saw Kevin Bacon: 7 points
 | I have been criticized for my poor celebrity sightings (average rating well below 5). I am sorry, but I eat lunch at Poquito Mas, not The Ivy. In my defense, I bring you a sighting from a couple weeks ago: Kevin Bacon, walking down Sunset with his wife Kyra Sedgwick and their son (I assume). |
Let's begin the proceedings with 5 points, shall we?
+1 for being with family. +1 more because his family is a celebrity in her own right, I suppose (though I couldn't name one Kyra Sedgwick movie.)
-2 for being spotted several times already by Lauri. Balanced by a +1 for being seen this time in LA, not their home on the Upper West Side of NY.
Kevin Bacon has a very large resume to rate:
2 words: FOOT. LOOSE. +3 points.
+3 for starring (and quite well, too) in a movie by personal friend Guy Ferland, Telling Lies In America.
+2 for Diner.
+1 for each of the following: Mystic River, Apollo 13, A Few Good Men, The Big Picture, Friday the 13th, and Animal House.
-2 each for the following: Beauty Shop, Hollow Man, Stir of Echoes, Wild Things, He Said She Said, Flatliners, Tremors, and She's Having a Baby.
+1 for having a star on Hollywood Boulevard.
Beauty factor:
-1 for doing the standard movie star thing: dark sunglasses and baseball cap.
+1 for having a large penis (as seen in Wild Things).
Star Wars connection factor:
If anyone has a connection to anything, it's got to be this guy, right? +2.
Final score: 7 hard-earned points. (and well above my average.)
PS - I found a picture of Kevin Bacon as a Sleestak:
