I was watching The Hudsucker Proxy last week. The plot was eh. The costumes austere. The Coen brothers directed and produced it.
Much like True Grit, they take a medicore plot and make it fun to watch. As I recently learned (from my last post, you see) the word auteur, the directors unique stamp. I can use it here, with the Coens way of creating films that you can tell are their very own.
Anyway - back to the Hudsucker proxy. Tim Robbins (ew) & Paul Newman (the salad dressing guy - ps I'm totally kidding by labeling him that) are standing face to face.
Google images didn't find exactly what I wanted, but look at them side by side.

Tim Robbins looks HUGE!
so I had to Google... "How tall is Tim Robbins?"
6'5
WOW!!!!
So that sent me on a roll...
How tall is Paul Newman. 5'10 (wow my height, he's less sexy in my book now, something I never thought would be possible after seeing Butch Cassidy)
Kobe Bryant 6'6 (shorter than I thought but still quite nice)
Vince Vaughn 6'5 (he always looked tall to me, so I finally decided to learn exactly how tall)
...and I decided I needed to get back to the movie and continue to take in their enticing costumes.
Well now... I can't watch anything without not only IMDBing them to make sure I know all other characters they have played, but now I have to know how tall they are. Sometimes it's a shock!!!
Jon Hamm 5'10 (lame)
Mos Def 5'9
Zack de la Rocha 5'10
Will Farrel 6'3
Greg Kinnear 5'10
These ones popped in my head the next day at work so I had to check.

Have you been to a wax museum? They are so much fun because you get to see how tall famous people are in real life! (George Washington and JFK were really tall!)
