I never got detention in school. Not because I didn't do anything I shouldn't. I was just never caught. Incidentally, in Danish we call detention 'eftersidning' which translates directly as 'after sitting'.

When I found a 50 year old copy of IMHO the best Danish book on keeping freshwater fish, the pages weren't cut. Reading it felt quite special. The author's passion for the subject eminates from every page and I think it would be a joy to read even for those not interested in the subject at hand.

I think the only reason I kinda liked him in The Color of Money was because I loved the The Hustler with a much younger Paul Newman. Paul Newman did all the heavy lifting in The Color of Money much like Dustin Hoffmann did w/ Rain Man. TC mostly just tagged along for the ride in both of them.

Things I was frightened of as a child: I don't remember actually being scared of anything. I knew not to approach certain animals. I was curious about so many things that I think that 'overruled' potential fears. The first scare I remember: watching the 1956 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' aged 12.
