You are correct! Which was as I had hoped. George

Honestly, I would not have known the last three at all, except that Peter Mayhew appeared at Comicpalooza last month. I know that big fans of the movie would know the names. But it was either give those names, give really obscure, minor-role actors, or give really FAMOUS stars. Since you're obviously good with waiting, let's see if Human or anyone else can get it.

Since Christopher Lloyd had been used recently, let's do Raul Julia Presumed Innocent Harrison Ford George

Wrong. Some stars of the movie: Michael Madsen, Brad Pitt, Harvey Keitel, Christopher McDonald A "buddy" flick. Ridley Scott was reportedly so amazed with Hans Zimmer's score, that he created a main title sequence (with Zimmer's music over it), rather than giving the main credits at the end, as it was primarily planned. Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Scott Baio, Christopher Atkins, Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, and Alec Baldwin were all considered for the role Brad Pitt played. Michelle Pfeiffer and Jodie Foster were originally chosen for the leads and accepted the roles, but preproduction took too long, and had to drop out due to other commitments. George

Actually, a far more famous movie. Except for a few bit part actors, though, it's hard not to give it away. Even these might do it: Eddie Byrne Alex McCrindle Peter Cushing Anthony Daniels Kenny Baker Peter Mayhew George

It is, indeed. Your go. George

The Lord Jesus joins a British spy ring. Jesus saves the world by defeating a villain whose plan to save the world from itself by blowing up the brains of half the population. George

"You have been my greatest love. Today, you are my greatest sorrow." "It's still tickin'." "What for?" "Because it tells the time. When to eat, sleep, wake up, work." "You let this little thing tell you what to do?" "Yeah." "My father told me once, he said, "If you see something wrong happening in the world, you can either do nothing, or you can do something". And I already tried nothing." George

Thanks to the latest additions, I assume it's the young man who has played Harry Potter in the recent series. As I have seen none of them, I do not know his name. Human (or Raf, or any lurker, for that matter) feel free to take it. George

Hazing was far more accepted in the 50s-70s. Then again, one of the chapters of the fraternity I belong to was de-chartered because of an incident gone wrong. (The pledges were to dig a big pit on the beach. It collapsed, suffocating one of the pledges.) That incident provoked a LOT of changes in the national fraternity's codes. This is a bit of a de-rail, I suppose; but I'm reminded of how different individual chapters were. At my undergrad institution (MIT), when I was a freshman, some of the seniors remembered having a lineup, ONCE. In grad school (U of Illinois), pledges were rousted out of bed about once a month, along with other "games." George

Sounds like a midnight lineup in a fraternity, circa 1965. George

I guessed as much. Not helpful, yet, though. George

There can't be a lot of guys who've played David Copperfield and Allen Ginsburg, not to mention all the others; but I'm not getting it yet.

Having not actually SEEN a Dragon Ball (or subsequent spin-off) episode, I didn't realize that Goku had a tail, or was based on Superboy. At any rate, you have guessed correctly. FYI, Stephanie voiced the young versions of Goku and Gohan. George

I have no idea what you're talking about, but that's pretty funny! George

In the "Revival and Restoration" thread, WordWolf posted: If one is determined to only find the negative at the GSC, that's what one will find. It's not honest and lacks integrity, but this should come as no shock by now. It's really cute the way these splinters like to refer to the GSC and explain why they're not going to explain. Lots more people got deliverance here and got on with their lives than they've actually HELPED. Perhaps it's "deliverance envy". How many groups suffer, in fact, from "deliverance envy"? George

What a delightful phrase to coin! I'm going to see if "Greasespot Gems" is still a thread. George

Not even close. A the LA debuted in 2003, not 1986. (Admittedly, the Avatar movie WAS critically panned, but it did OK at the box office.) This cartoon first aired in 1986 and spawned three sequels. It was an anime cartoon, based on a series Manga comic books. The title refers to a group of magical artifacts, which, when collected, grant one wish to the holder. Additionally, many short theatrical cartoons based on it aired overseas. A live-action film aired in the US in 2009, with the intention of spawning sequels. Those plans were immediately quashed when the fans of the TV show expressed outrage at the departure from the show's history, and the film tanked at the box office. A personal note: one of my friends, Stephanie Nadolny, voiced two (male) characters for the series and its first sequel. George

That may have been part of it. Wikipedia is rather vague on this detail. George
