  1. "I've just had an apostrophe." "You mean an epiphany." "Lightning has just struck my brain." "That must hurt."
  2. Richie in his first recording session- recording "Come On, Let's Go," exactly the same, for take after take. By the end, the audience sympathized with Bob, who fell asleep in the middle and only woke up when the music stopped. We didn't hear a difference either. BTW, did anyone besides Raf catch my reference to the infamous coin toss?
  3. She really backed the wrong horse there. She was Richie's girlfriend, then went for his brother Bob, who had the motorcycle and flash. Then Richie, a stable guy, became a star, and she was with Bob, who was neither faithful nor sober, often.
  4. Richie's mom convinced a bar owner to have Richie do a performance there. Richie's brother Bob thought rock was lost on the bar regulars. Richie apparently agreed upon reflection, since he changed his playlist, and switched to more Country/Western sounding songs.
  5. This is "LA BAMBA," the story of Ritchie Valens.
  6. "Michael's going to be a Lawyer of Tomorrow!" "Oh? Well, welcome to the slammer of today!" "Water? She ain't drinkin' nothin' but the best from now on... Kool-Aid!"
  7. So, the correct answer was "Vertigo", which means that George got it right.
  8. I wasn't sure if I heard that while they were buckling up or not.
  9. Is anybody else OK with it if I answer this one? (If nobody answers, maybe I'll flip a coin or something.)
  10. Apparently, it's none of those, so it must be the other one. The 1966 "BATMAN" TV show?
  11. Hm Could be a few things, most of them by Gerry Anderson. "Thunderbirds?"
  12. Well... Well... Well.... Well....
  13. I know I've seen this. I mean, in the past few years as well.
  14. For everybody who never saw the movie, there were a few clues that pointed in the right direction. "One of the main characters is seen early in the movie, in a high-rise apartment. It is his friend's apartment, not his own, and he is visiting. Otherwise, we'd have a rather curious question to pose to the character or the director." Ah, if Scotty had been suffering from vertigo, and kept the high-rise apartment when there were plenty of places to live that were on the ground floor, the audience would have complained. "One of the most famous shots of the film was achieved by zooming the lens in while simultaneously pulling the camera back." Hitchcock managed to convey the feel of vertigo when Scotty was in a stairwell by doing this. The viewer can feel the disorientation. (I don't have vertigo, and it gave me a wince.) "The director has a "don't blink" cameo towards the beginning of this movie, in front of the shipyard, carrying a trumpet case." Not many directors make a point of being in their movies, but Hitchcock is famous for his cameos.
