  1. No. Much better looking, IMHO. If it helps, the Bond film is often considered to be extracanonical, as opposed to a more recent film with the same title.

  2. Potayto, potahto. And I meant "Canaries" rather than "Birds of Prey" (which was actually a decent show, back in the day -- it might have gone more than a few episodes if it aired today). George

  4. OK, so the various Arrowverse shows have Martian ex machina to give pre-Crisis memories to various characters. What about Arrow characters in 2040, you ask? Apparently Cisco develops tech to mimic the Martian ability to reawaken the memories. REALLY??? (Arrow is transitioning to Birds of Prey.) George
  5. I can think of one: BEBO! I thought the sequel was Exorcist II: Electric Boogaloo. Anyway, you're up. George
  6. The first post-Crisis Batwoman wasn't about ONLY Kate's homosexuality. Of course, the episode title is "How Queer Everything Is Today," so I shouldn't have been surprised. A new character was added who ALSO just happens to be a lesbian, so we get a lot of pontificating about how horrible it is to deny your nature, or whatever. And then Batwoman is revealed as lesbian at the end. OK, SPOILER! No reason for it. I'm reminded of Green Arrow (in the comics) years ago deciding to run for mayor of Star City. I forget which Justice Leaguer (I think it was Clark) told him, "Don't be ridiculous. How long will your secret identity last with two, blond, bearded public figures running around Star City?" How long will Kate's secret identity last with two, red-headed, lesbian public figures running around Gotham? The sad thing is, I really liked that they brought in Slam Bradley, even though he was a policeman, not a PI. I also thought that all the mentions of Chris Evans and Captain America were cute. I'm assuming that the Marvel Universe did NOT merge with the Arrowverse in the Crisis, but that Marvel characters are just that (comic and movie characters) in the Arrowverse. George
  7. Ralph Bellamy Michelle Pfeiffer David Alan Grier George
  8. This is (at least at the time of the IMDb entry, if not today) Warner Brothers' highest-grossing-film of all time when adjusted for inflation. Louise Fletcher, Richard Burton, and Dana Plato were all passed up for parts in this movie, but all appeared in the sequel. Likewise, John Boorman was passed up as director for this film but directed the sequel. There are no opening credits after the title. Although that is commonplace now, it was unheard of in when this film premiered. The female lead was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. After the nominations were out, it was pointed out that her lines were all dubbed by another actress. Although I'm not sure how that would have mattered to anyone who actually SAW the performance, it tainted her performance enough to eliminate her from the award. George
  9. You really should see the Justice League movie (and Batman v. Superman, if you haven't seen that). The interplay of the characters was quite good, and you get to see EM Flash grow into an heroic role. Having seen the first post-Crisis Supergirl, now, as well, I'm wondering if ALL of the shows are going to have doppelgangers appearing. (Partial spoiler. I didn't say WHOSE doppelgangers!) George
  10. I kept thinking Elongated Man as well. Funny, because Raf and I discussed the Ezra/Grant meeting in PM (didn't want to spoil it). In the comics, Barry has always been a methodical police scientist. He was always easy-going, usually late to dates with Iris (until he got his powers). The hyperactive Ezra version is a drastically different take. Are you guys watching Batwoman? I don't want to spoil the "back to normal" episode, but I will say one thing: they really make the show too much about lesbianism and too little about plot development. George
  11. It was "The Bill Cosby Show." His ACTUAL next show was "The New Bill Cosby Show," which was a variety show. THEN came "Fat Albert..." The action show, of course, was I/Spy. You're up. George
  12. King Ralph? I seem to remember John Goodman belting out an oldie, possibly Good Golly Miss Molly. It predates 2010. Most of the royal family are electrocuted in a photo shoot, resulting in Ralph being found (almost) next in succession. I think he negotiates a treaty with the King (Prince) of Zambesi as his last official act before abdicating. George
  13. Anjelica Huston The Grifters Jon Cusack George
  14. She was in a Bond movie, but it wasn't Maud. Gwen Meighen Miss Goodthighs Christine Adams Paula Clarkson Jennifer Wood Rose Bean Gail Berke Liz Cassidy Countess Andrenyi Barbara Hallsworth Liz Hamilton Yvonne Firmin George
  15. Well, now I'm clearer about which movie. I don't recognize the elements you mention, though George
  16. The star of this TV show was also the star of a number of other shows, live action and animated. This was his first live-action comedy. It was one of very few comedies (at least, at that time) without a laugh track or a studio audience. The star believed that the viewers were intelligent enough to know what was funny. In a later comedy, the star was a lovable dad. In this show, he was a lovable single high school teacher. His previous show was an action show (with comic overtones). His next show had almost the same title as this one, but with a completely different format. George
  17. I'm a little confused as to which movie we're supposed to guess. When you say, "This movie also included..." is that the same movie from the previous sentence, or to the more recent film? George
  18. At least now I understand WW's "grins at Raf once more" comment. I never watched Growing Pains, so I didn't know the theme song. (I got the clues pertaining to Kirk Cameron.)
