  1. Don't be shocked. Moby Dick is public domain, so they don't have to pay copyrights for using the story. So, it's a more economic choice for a movie.
  2. That's him. I was saving the really obvious ones, but a few went through that were recognizable all around- depending on what movies you like, of course.
  3. Jeri Taylor???? I mean, Jeri RYAN???? The chick who played Seven of Nine on ST Voyager.
  4. Thank you for making this happen. Now, people looking for updates on a 17-year old topic won't think there was news when there was not, and the new guy who had something to say has the appropriate venue in which to say it. Naturally, now that this is the case, we've probably heard the last of him.

  6. I first heard OF that song around 1989-1990. I first heard that song around the end of last year. I don't think Billy Joel was inspired by it when he wrote this song. He actually started with an attempt to write a rap song, then discovered he couldn't write rap songs, so he started over.
  7. I would expect so. It was also in "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", but I'm confident he wasn't quoting that movie at this time.
  8. "Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray, South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe Di Maggio."
  9. For those who didn't get it, that was also known as "Maneater", by Hall and Oates. (I thought he was going to say "close" or something, but obviously Human wasn't in the mood.)
  10. It is?? Ok, I'll come up with something......

  12. There are so few roles RW played that were played by other people...and I was sure this wasn't "Peter Pan." Ok, next one, let's see....
  13. San Antonio..... Robin Williams played him..... how about "TEDDY ROOSEVELT"???
  14. I'm stuck trying to wrap my head around their being a role shared by Robin Williams, Robert Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, and Richard Dreyfus. Richard the Third??????
  15. Ok, this past Thursday, SEVENTEEN YEARS after this thread had DIED DOWN, the new post began, majorly hijacking the thread. (Page two.) People keep checking in, thinking there's some news about the thread topic, and are disappointed to find out this thread now has nothing to do with this thread. Am I the only one who thinks this thread should be split in two, with the old thread intact and a new thread with the new...whatever this is... hosting this completely unrelated discussion?
  16. "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. "
  17. *calmly wanders in, sipping his coffee* Oh, I'm up? Shazbot. Ok, hang on.....
  18. "Hey! Once I was a boogie singer playin' in a Rock and Roll Band."
  19. "Ma'am, you're sucking my arm." (The studio prevented them from filming that line, but in the script, it was the response. Nowadays, that's allowable, but back then, too much for the studios.) He rode a BLAZING SADDLE, he wore a shining star.....
  20. [ A) Thank you for posting with paragraph breaks and spell checks. (You could still use some help with capitalization, but that's another thing.) B) I think it's interesting that you came right out of the barrel saying you were a graduate of a specific Way Corps, and followed that up with saying you didn't think titles were important. Didn't register to you that you were claiming a title? C) Do you ever plan on posting anything that doesn't sound like stereotypical twi/ ex-twi vocabulary? The impression you give is of someone who never gave independent thought an option. (If I were to take a guess, I'd think you were raised as twi/ex-twi rather than having made it through the Way Corps, and were rarely ever exposed to ideas that weren't twi- sourced or twi- endorsed, except when in school (if you weren't home-schooled). It would explain both the bad capitalization and the hair-trigger responses when people responded to you as themselves. D) No, I'm not exaggerating. For someone who supposedly wants to post as distinct from official twi, you sound as if they're drafting your posts for you. It's very obvious for the rest of us, and it says a lot about you whether you mean it to or not.]
