  1. When I first worked at Dow, there were not enough offices for all of the chemists, so, occasionally, desks were found in the labs, surrounded by yellow tape on the floor. As a general rule, one had to wear monogoggles in the laboratories but not in the offices. One was allowed to sit at a desk in the lab without them. I referred to this as the "Les Nessman Safety Rule," as, somehow, any bad actors in the air would know to stop at the yellow tape. I find the six-foot, "social distancing" rule almost as silly, as if there were something magic about six feet. George
  2. Well, at least you picked someone from the Jumanji films. I'm guessing that no one has seen any of the films I listed, so I'll give it to WW for getting one right. The other actor is KEVIN HART. George
  3. I'm sure that Raf was alluding to something, perhaps the theme song, which I don't remember. But it's got to be WKRP in Cincinnati. George
  4. No. The other actor is not usually considered an action/adventure type. He was in one more movie with Johnson, Unfortunately, that movie is Jumanji: The Next Level George
  5. Yeah, but when you said he was contemporary with Henry V, particularly, it threw me off. George
  6. You have one of the two (Johnson). Diesel was not in Central Intelligence nor Jumanji. George
  7. Two actors needed to win this round: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle Central Intelligence F&F Presents Hobbs and Shaw* George "One of the actors has only a cameo in this film
  8. I presume you italicized Joseph Fiennes for emphasis, but I'm still lost. George
  9. American Graffiti came out when I was in college, and Smith (as Terry) looked an awful lot like my roommate. George
  10. Cannery Row. Starring Nick Nolte and Debra Winger. Nolte had customarily played tough guy roles, so it was thought that a 181 IQ wouldn't be believable. Winger had been topless in Slumber Party 57, and would later do nudity in An Officer and a Gentleman and others, but not in this film. Nolte and Winger would also star in Everybody Wins. You're up! George
  11. I should probably clarify the "major motion picture" bit. This movie did NOT do well in the box office. In fact, Raquel Welch made more in her lawsuit than the movie netted. With a good cast, and based on a serious novel, Welch THOUGHT it would be a major flick, unlike her light fare, like 1 M BC or Fathom. George
  12. I know he was in the first two: Charles Martin Smith? George
  13. No. Raquel Welch was offered the second lead in this film. Though she had had starring roles, this would have been her first lead in a major motion picture. She even, reluctantly, agreed to do a nude scene. She was later fired and replaced by a much younger actress. Welch sued for breach of contract, and eventually won over 20 million dollars. Interestingly, her replacement did NOT have a nude scene in this movie (even though she had been nude in an earlier movie and would do nude scenes later, as well). The movie is based on a famous novel by an American author, published in 1945. It also includes elements from its not-so-famous sequel. The male lead told Rolling Stone magazine during production that he was a fan of the author's work. He also admitted to having to wear a girdle to flatten his belly. In the interview, he called the girdle a "Richard Dreyfuss special". This film was about 20 years after One Million Years BC. She was about the same age as the male lead (slightly older, actually). It was a very different dynamic with her replacement (who is not related to her). The story is about a marine biologist and a "floozy." For some reason, screenwriter-director David S. Ward lowered the (male) lead character's stated I.Q. (181 in the book sequel) for his film by 30 points. An Intelligence Quotient of 170 and above are considered "super-genius" (versus the "genius" I.Q. of 140 and above). Perhaps Ward didn't believe that the star would be believable with such a high I.Q. The two stars teamed up again eight years later to portray a private detective hired by a (supposed) good Samaritan. The story takes place on a street in Monterey, CA, during the Depression. George

  15. Henry V? Patrick Stewart "sorta" played him when Picard portrayed him with Data on a holodeck. George
  16. The problem is that both Superman and Batman (and, I believe, Captain Marvel) were in films before their TV shows. Unless you're not counting serials. Captain America? I think there was a TV show in the mid 60s. George
  17. Welch was also the lead in Kansas City Bomber, but I wouldn't call that a major motion picture, either. Or Hannie Caulder. Or Fathom. Welch was only 24 when One Million Years BC was released, so it's unlikely she would have been replaced by a much younger actress in an even EARLIER film. This film was about 20 years after One Million Years BC. She was about the same age as the male lead (slightly older, actually). It was a very different dynamic with her replacement. George
  18. Star Trek TOS would meet SOME of these requirements: Long time from TV to film (only 15 years, though, not 25). Kirk was in at least 10 films, including the reboots. There was one animated series I'm aware of but not an animated film. Also, AFIK, no one from TOS was a von Trapp in SOM. And Jim Kirk was not a TITLE character in any of the movies. The TV show has to be post-SOM, so at least 1965. It couldn't be much later than that, because 25 years later began a string of 11 films. I just don't know. George
  19. You would think that I should be able to figure out a movie with Tom Cruise and Kurt Russell (not to mention Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz), but I'm not getting it. George
  20. With Colin Firth and in light of all the WW II movies now, I'll guess George VI George
  21. The Presidio Mark Harmon Summer School George
