Okay, is it just me or is that Jerry McGuire kid just creepy?

I can't stand that kid.

Peter Ostrum apparently grew up to become Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York,

They all look like normal well adjusted people to me -- except for McCulkin who looks like he just got his methadone ration.

You realize he didn't tap it and probably won't make it to 30.
Also he's really the only sad one on the list.

My cousin played the little boy in Dr. Zhivago (Dr. Zhivago's son). He went on to become a ballerina, in case anyone is curious.

Did he get gender reassignment surgery, or do you mean ballerino?

Macaulay Culkin was great in Saved! with Mandy Moore.

I think now she's mainly famous for being Jesse Eisenberg's sister (she even appeared in the movie Holy Rollers with him). I think now she's doing Broadway.

The depressing ones are Jonathon Brandis, Lindsey Lohan and Brad Renfro. These ones are the successes who just became normal well-adjusted people. Stupid Subby.

Not that I claim to know anything about their sex life, but as already mentioned, they were in a relationship for several years. Also he's 31.

Care to make any other predictions?

I liked the kids from Super 8. The movie had some problems but the casting wasn't one of them.

Ballerino is the stuff whales use to strain krill from the ocean. You're thinking of 'balearic'.

This. I was looking forward to a depressing slideshow of drug addicts and suicides, but instead I got a list of cute kids who grew up to be well adjusted adults (for the most part). Harumph.

Not to call out subby for being an incredible moron, but most of those people look well adjusted.

No, no, no... balearic is the water that ships take in to help with not capsizing. You're thinking of balaclava.

I thought that was the condition where a person can't eat gluten.

No, no... balaclava is the name of a style of Sumerian pottery. You're thinking of breccias.

That.

Remember that kid in junior high who had a great overhand curveball, while everyone else was trying to throw a pitch that'd break at all?. Yeah, he's a really good accountant these days.
