  1. Not Shakespeare, but you have the right idea. I'll let you ruminate a bit more, because my next two names will probably give it away. To be fair, I wouldn't have gotten it from any of the ones I've chosen so far. George
  2. A swing and a miss. (I don't even know what the character "Brad Majors" is.) Jack Aranson Danny Glover Barry Bostwick John Barrymore Orson Welles William Hurt George
  3. Name the character. Jack Aranson Danny Glover Barry Bostwick George
  4. "Train to Marrakech" by some subset of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young? George
  5. We obviously have different playlists. George
  6. I googled his picture. I got nothin'. George
  7. 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
  8. The font is fine. I have no idea who Jason Clarke is. George
  9. 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
  10. Flash this week tips the hat to an old Brave and Bold (#81, to be exact). George G
  11. 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
  12. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Sean Astin Goonies George
  13. "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
  14. Having seen Bohemian Rhapsody recently, I conclude "A Night at the Opera." George
  15. 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
