Back By Popular Demand

Actually, it was more like, "You should have said 'so-and-so' and 'this person'", etc. So I have added those suggested names to my "who do you think of?" Character associations, thus:

1. Brad Pitt
2. Angelina Jolie
3. Johnny Depp
4. Catherine Zeta-Jones
5. Matt Damon
6. Cameron Diaz
and one extra:
7. Renee Zellweger

1. Brad Pitt - first one comes to mind is Tristan from Legends of the Fall
2. Angelina Jolie - Lara Croft
3. Johnny Depp - Capt. Jack Sparrow or the guy from Secret Window. Or maybe Don Juan de Marco, or Edward Scissorhands, or Willy Wonka...
4. Catherine Zeta-Jones - The girl in the Zorro movies
5. Matt Damon - is he in a movie? Oh, yeah, Bourne, I guess.
6. Cameron Diaz - Don't know, one of Charlie's Angels, I guess (not a big Diaz fan)
7. Renee Zellweger - wasn't she in the musical/movie Chicago? Probably that one, don't recall the character's name (again, go figure!)

PS: Don Juan de Marco is definitely not a child-friendly movie!

I won't harp on the character vs. movie any more, I promise.

The people I chose to ask about are not ones I'm necessarily fans of; in the first post I went for the big names. (In fact, a number of these I don't like.) I thought Kate Winslet was a bigger name than she apparently is.

My son wants me to do a reversal next:

"What actor comes to mind when you think of James Bond?" There are fewer of those to choose from...

James Bond? For me, Roger Moore. He's the first Bond I saw ("Moonraker"), so that's the Bond I know. Sean Connery would be a good one, though, and perhaps Pierce Brosnan (as he's the most recent, not counting the absolute most recent Bond movie which was a total letdown).

Aaaaaccckkk! Are you crazy?? Casino Royale is one of my favorite movies and Daniel Craig is now my favorite Bond!! (And I'm a Bond fan.) Used to be Sean Connery. Never say Roger Moore.

It was sooo much better, dialogue, etc, than the old Bonds!
