I have not seen "Moulin Rouge." I HAVE seen "Blazing Saddles." I remember Mel Brooks playing the Governor and also an Indian chief, but I don't get the "impression" part. George -
The font is fine. I have no idea who Jason Clarke is. George

It's obvious that you cut off the end of a couple of lines, undoubtedly because the omitted part is the title. That means I could give a couple of guesses as to the title ("The Beach"? "The Lake"?); but I would still have no idea about the artist. George

Seems vaguely familiar. George

Flash this week tips the hat to an old Brave and Bold (#81, to be exact). George G

Minimal spoilers: Supergirl: the team takes an obvious step to protect Kara's identity, but the unintended consequences (as evidenced by the trailer for next week) were pretty obvious. I DO like that J'onn has taken the identity "John Jones, Private Eye," harkening back to his original comic book character, although then he was an actual detective. (For an interesting turn on THAT, take a look at the current Martian Manhunter miniseries by DC.) Arrow: The mystery Green Arrow's identity is revealed: someone from the comic but not hitherto officially introduced on the show. I am really getting annoyed with the "flash-forward" segments. George

"Daughter." "Did you do it?" "Yes." "What did it cost?" "...Everything." "You understand, boy, you're about to take the full force of a star. It'll kill you." "Only if I die." "Yes. That's what... killing you means." George

Correct. George

Having seen Bohemian Rhapsody recently, I conclude "A Night at the Opera." George

It's something, but not a Kingsman movie. It is a straight action film (not a "funny" action film like Kingsman). The line "There's never been a terrorist attack on American soil" was included in trailers for the movie, but was left out of theatrical release because it sounded too much like an invitation or dare. The attack on members of the Royal Family at the beginning of the film was inspired by a similar true-life attempt to kidnap Princess Anne on March 20, 1974. She was in her car when a man shot her guard and driver, then she was subsequently helped by a passerby who attacked the criminal and saved her. The satellite attack-watching sequence features rather emotional, thinly scored music by James Horner, but the music is, in fact, taken quite directly from the slow movement of Dmitri Shostakovich's 5th Symphony. It's only for about half a minute that Horner does this, and he blends it into his own stuff, but that one little part is a very direct, uncredited grab. In the film, the raid on the terrorist camp is carried out by the S.A.S. However, in the book, it is carried out by French special forces. The name of Paddy O'Neil, the I.R.A. spokesman played by Richard Harris, is taken from the name used by the I.R.A. organization to sign all statements originating from them, P. O'Neil. George

I'm not sure I could name a Marx Brothers movie, other than the two Raf already guessed. George

Sounds like a Mel Brooks film, but I don't recognize it. George

No idea. George

It is, indeed. Tim Hutton plays a man who lost a daughter due to insurance company malfeasance and decides to take revenge on "big guys" taking advantage of "little guys." He hires four ex-criminals to help him. I realize that there are literally hundreds of different shows out there available to watch, but I highly recommend watching at least a few episodes. George
