  1. No. I'm sure Succession was tightly scripted. And it wasn't around in 2003. In 2003, a man named Juan Catalan was arrested for murder in Los Angeles. He repeatedly professed his innocence, and asked to take a polygraph test, a request that the police denied (note: polygraph tests aren't admissible in court). He also had an alibi. He swore that at the time of the murder, he was at Dodger Stadium with his little girl, watching the Dodgers vs. the Braves, but his lawyer was unable to find him in any of the Dodger Vision or FOX footage he subpoenaed. However, he discovered that there was another source of crowd footage: This show, season four, episode six, The Car Pool Lane (2004) had filmed at Dodger Stadium that night. Although Catalan did not make the final cut of the show, his lawyer was finally able to find him and his daughter in the outtakes, and determined from the timestamps on the tapes that Catalan could not have been the killer. When told that his show had released a wrongfully accused man from prison and a trial that could have led to the death penalty, the star commented, "I tell people that I've now done one decent thing in my life, albeit inadvertently." The documentary Long Shot (2017) is about these events. There is no script to each episode, just a heavily detailed plot outline, which the actors and actresses all improvise. On average, each scene will require between seven or eight takes, which is very high for a television series on a tight schedule. Whenever the main character inevitably finds himself lying to his wife about his latest convoluted mishap, the actress is as genuinely in the dark, as her character. That's because she is not privy to the full script outline, only being exposed to her own scenes. This current show is in its last season. George
  2. No, though he was in The Outsiders. Skatetown, USA The Outsiders Uncommon Valor Grandview, USA Youngblood Steel Dawn George
  3. WW 11? I must have missed a few. I would imagine it was a western state. I can't see balloons (dirigibles?) getting far inland without being shot down. I'm going to guess California, northern, near San Francisco. 10 or fewer dead. George
  4. Skatetown, USA The Outsiders Uncommon Valor George
  5. Robin Hood: Men in Tights (?) George
  6. Maybe marginal for this thread. We'll see: "You know what the difference is between you and me? I make this look GOOD!" George

  11. No. Much better known, and much older. 1: "I wanna stay with you." 2: "Certainly, you do." 3: "Oh? And just how do you think he will survive?" 2: "How do you think he will... " What do you mean how do you think he... He's with me, ain't he? And I'll learn him all I know." 3: "Oh? That shouldn't take too long." "This will take brains, not brawn." "You better believe it, and I'm loaded with both." "Gee, cousin Louie, you're doing real good." "Now here's your part of the deal, cuz. Lay the secret on me of Man's Red Fire." "But I don't know how to make fire." "Ha ha! Man, that's what I call a swinging party!" "I'm taking him back to the man village." "Man village? They'll ruin him. They'll make a man out of him." George

  13. Not really. It's the only movie I could think of where a car got vengeful. I'm not sure if WW or Human have even heard of it. I guess this means I was right. George
  14. Indeed. My favorite scene is when Nick Cage and the guys (including Jim Carrey) sing "I Wonder Why" for the girls in the basement. So cute. George
