   Hmm... Didn't think of it that way! Did you recognize the actress?

   LOVE that movie! Been a Dennis Quiad fan since Breaking Away. :-)   
      
   Yep - the Butterfly Effect - see Season Three of The Flash for reference. ;-)   
      
   And for an older reference, see the movie - Butterfly Effect.

   We started watching the second episode, but we were both distracted with   
   other things, so we stopped it to watch later.
