No. A bit more mainstream

Steve Carlton and Gaylord "Why did my parents hate me" Perry

Based on the novella "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," which was neither a true story nor one that featured Rita Hayworth as a character.

No. That's a horror movie. Stephen King is known for horror. This movie has, best of my memory, no supernatural elements

Right author, wrong movie.

I am going to play the "come on guys, this is not that difficult" card. The author of the original story is known for an entirely different genre of story. But fear not! This showed you can't keep him trapped in just one kind of story. The costar was the narrator. The costar was THE narrator. Good God, if that wasn't enough of a clue by itself.

it is

That's it

Appreciate the namecalling. That made action a bit easier. See you someday soon. [My moderating action will be reviewed and is subject to being overturned]. Edit: (It has been reviewed and deemed appropriate)

We have reached our immediate goal and are continuing to fundraise with a view toward not having to ask again for a longer time.

My recollection is that the clues for this one led to Kevin Sorbo. That correct, George?

Pretty sure Word Wolf correctly guessed Matthew Broderick in Biloxi Blues, Torch Song Trilogy and some other movie.

It was not The Closer or its spinoff [Major Crimes?] This series lasted 2 seasons. No name change. Just the lead actor. Stanley Tucci's breakthrough role in season 1.

I'll be catching us up on the game threads...

Pains me to do this, but: discussions about the mental health of posters is a violation of our rules [many of which were developed to address the way I pounced on Mike way back when]. If you are aware of a formal diagnosis, keep it to yourself. If he shares a formal diagnosis, he opened the door and it's fair game. But if you're the one making the diagnosis, you are not qualified or permitted to do so, no matter how well-founded your diagnosis may be. I think Mike's positions are bat crap crazy. But it's not my business or yours to diagnose his mental illness.
