  1. Honestly, except for comic books, the Bible, and occasional scientific articles, I don't read much. I did read Mark Levin's Men in Black recently. George
  2. Boys, boys, boys. Don't make me come over there. Human, I'm pretty sure that WW was saying that he believed you guessed the right song and then looked up the title, which was fine. It was you who suggested that that might be cheating. FWIW, I don't think I've ever HEARD of "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite." Was it just an album cut, or did it actually get airplay? (If it didn't get airplay, then WW technically cheated.) George
  3. Robert Deniro Meet the Fockers Owen Wilson George
  4. No. During the live episodes of this comedy, the cast members performed twice, once for the East coast and once for the West coast. This series shares a few plot devices with M*A*S*H. For example, the swamp rats have a still providing unending alcohol just as Buzz Beer does here. Also, Hawkeye is constantly trolling for women just as this show's main character does. The main female lead in both shows ends up married and divorced. The main male and female leads are in a brief romantic relationship with each other in both series and still have feelings for each other during their last appearances onscreen. Both Hawkeye and this show's main character feel trapped in their jobs and both are very conscientious and competent in doing those jobs. Rush Limbaugh appears, as himself, in an episode. At the end, he looks at the star and says, "Okay, Dilbert, let's rock!" A running gag at Winfred-Louder is Wick firing an employee named Johnson, but never the same person. Features a character named Oswald Lee Harvey. George

  6. About the only other movie I know he was in was Ferris Bueller's Day Off Jennifer Grey Dirty Dancing George
  7. I do not remember Tim Robbins's character in Top Gun. Apparently (from IMDb), he played "Merlin." Lord of the Rings (any) Ian McKellen X-Men Last Stand George
  8. I and the dozen other viewers would tend to agree. The season premiere had a DISMAL viewing, though part of that may be due to competition from football playoffs. George
  9. Good enough. Springsteen wrote and performed it. I don't think Turner performed it; you might be thinking of Natalie Cole's version. You're up. George
  10. It is. Played by Jeffrey Hunter in "The Cage" (the first Star Trek pilot). When "The Cage" was reconfigured into a two-parter, "The Menagerie," Hunter had died, so the crippled Pike was played by Sean Kenney. Bruce Greenwood played him in the reboot ST movies; and Anson Mount played (plays? I haven't seen all the current season) him in ST Discovery, temporarily transferring from the Enterprise to the Discovery. George
  11. To get this one, you may have to think thoughts so dark, so primitive, so evil, that even a Talosian can't read your mind. George
  12. So, Batwoman is back. So, a homeless woman (who just happens to be an ex-martial arts instructor) finds the Batsuit in the wreckage of a plane and puts it on to avenge the people who killed her mom. Is Kate Kane dead? Likely, but also likely we'll never know. The supporting cast stays, even Alice (whose followers, it turns out, were the killers of new girl's mom). And pretty much anybody who didn't already know Kate was Batwoman, does now. It's hard to see where this is heading, but they worked so hard to retrofit everything that I figure I owe them a few looks. In other news, Superman and Lois Lane debuts next month, and "Painkiller" from Black Lightning spins off his own show, George
  13. "My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet." "You know, a lot's changed since 1967." "No doubt, love, but as long as people are still having promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners without protection while at the same time experimenting with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment, I'll be sound as a pound!" George
  14. "Once upon a Time in Mexico"? George
  15. Since it's not a Western and not a fairy tale... "Once Upon a Time in the West"? George
  16. Since Human hasn't posted another... You may think I'm fooling For the foolish things I do You may wonder how come I love you When you get on my nerves like you do Well baby, you know you bug me There ain't no secret about that George
  17. Human is close. I'm disqualified for looking it up. It's not a movie I've seen or even remember. George
  18. Maybe Human didn't see the picture you posted, T-Bone. George
  19. At First Sight Mira Sorvino The Replacement Killers George
  20. It is, indeed, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." It wasn't until almost the very end, when Mr. Hand goes to Jeff Spicoli's home to reclaim "his time" before letting him go off to prom, that I recognized the scene from the Playboy short story. The movie, of course, had many scenes not in the story. I refused to pay several dollars JUST to look at photos of naked women, so I almost always read the articles. T-Bone's turn. George
  21. Sometimes I use Snipping Tool to copy the picture. That stops the steal. I was just lazy, this time. George
  22. This will exhaust the actors portraying this role: Sean Kenney Anson Mount Bruce Greenwood Jeffrey Hunter George
  23. Here's another film that I first saw as a short story in Playboy. (It's pretty easy.)
