Auteur Watch - Jim Brown

When one considers Jim Brown, you'd be remiss if you didn't stop to consider this Jim Brown or  that Jim Brown or this Jim Brown or ... wait, not that last one.  Anyway, I suppose we also need to stop and consider this Jim Brown or that Jim Brown or this Jim Brown or that Jim Brown or this Jim Brown or that Jim Brown or this Jim Brown or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or that one or this one or him or him ... um, skip those last two ones, actually.  Ick.  But Movie Hooligan, you ask!  What about this one and this one and this one and this one?  Well, that's the gag.  Turns out it's all the same guy!  Brought to you by the IMDb.  The IMDb!  We're just plain moving too fast to try harder to prevent these kinds of database errors from happening at all.  Speaking of which, time to check on our old friend John Hyland... yup!  Still a Highlander.
But Movie Hooligan, you ask a second time!  That's all well and good, but how about this one and this one and this one and this one?  Whelp, I hate to go and suggest that the name Jim Brown is a common one, but yup... there are actually two separate Jim Browns with four entries.  Further brought to you by the IMDb.  The IMDb!  We can't figure it out either.  It's hard enough just being the IMDb in the first place, know whut I mean Vern?
...oh right!  Anyway, there's this Jim Brown right here.  Often cited as the greatest NFL player in history, he directed one TV movie called "Keeping the Music Alive" and... well, I guess it worked.  Music is still alive, but he decided to move on from directing.  Not easy having to make so many decisions for so little pay, is it?  You gotta have at least two irons in the fire for the big bucks.  I don't remember him in The Running Man, but I do remember him for having the best role in Mars Attacks! ...it was the best part, wasn't it?  Give the guy some credit!  He's an ex-football player playing an ex-boxer on the silver screen!  Talk about range!  It's more range than Harrison Ford has!
