  1. If Raf REPLIES, I'll be shocked. George
  2. Sorry. Just don't know it. George
  3. The only show I know with Karen Cliché was Adventure, Inc., but it did not have any of those other stars. George
  4. I know French, but the literal translation "Under the Sign of the Sword" doesn't help. I suspect that the French isn't a translation of the English title. Set in California, it COULD be a Zorro show, but it's not the old Guy Williams version. I MIGHT get the third choice, with a bit more help. Sheena Easton in a TV show sounds familiar. George
  5. Unbelievably (or not), I still have no idea. George
  6. It's really not clicking for me, either, though I may well have heard it. George
  7. I haven't seen "The Doors," though I remember it coming out. That's how old I am. George
  8. That last line seems familiar, but I'm not getting it. George
  9. I gave it to WW, but he's had four days to post one, so Human can go ahead, if he has one. George
  10. I'm not sure what part was the guess, but the answer is completely correct. George
  11. Star Trek III John Larroquette Blind Date George
  12. I'm not going to beat you to it. George
  13. An Earl isn't exactly a Duke, but Rissk translates well to Hazzard, so I'll give it to you. The car not only had the Confederate flag on it, but it was also called the General Lee. Ah, simpler times! And, of course, short-short jeans are still called "Daisy Dukes." WW's up. George
  14. An assassin relives the same 24 hours, over and over, each time slightly varying his attempt to kill President De Gaulle. George
  15. So, "tardis" is an acronym. Live and learn! George
  16. This wildly popular show (at the time) would probably not even be produced today, as it frequently displayed iconography which is out of style, today. Speaking of style, one of the characters' outfits were so popular that they are still referred today by that character's name. (And, thankfully, that outfit is still popular.) George
  17. "Constantine" is correct. "1998" was a typo. I meant "1988," which is when "Hellblazer" appeared, though, as you point out, Constantine first appeared in Swamp Thing in 1984. "Hellblazer" was thought to be too similar to "Hellboy," so "Contantine" was picked as the title. I REALLY prefer Matt Ryan's take to Keanu Reeves's. You're up! George
  18. I got the "Who's the Boss" part immediately. I was trying to link "Boss" or "Who's" (forgetting that it could just be "Who"). Also, I didn't realize that Dr. Who was an alien, although it makes sense. From the dozen or so episodes I've seen, I just sort of assumed he was some sort of enhanced human. New one soon. George
  19. I know half of it (isn't that ALWAYS the way?); but I can't get the other half. (And neither the first or last word of the part I know is helping.) George
  20. I only know two movies with Missi Pyle. Here's one: "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" George
  21. The title character of the film has been around since 1998, in various media. A TV version had a star who, IMHO, was much more true to the character than the movie star. The movie's original title was too similar to "Hellboy," which came out about the same time. This was thought to be likely to hurt ticket sales, so the title was changed. The look of Hell was based on old footage of nuclear tests, specifically the sudden shockwave immediately after the blast that disintegrated anything in its path, hence the crumbling landscape. Kevin Spacey and Mel Gibson were touted for the title role, but it went to a younger (but still quite well-known) actor. The tattoo on the star's arms is the alchemical symbol of the Red King, which was worn (by him) for protection. It is "the fire triangle with three radiating arrows below represents the 'Perfect Red King,' the Sulfur of the Philosophers." According to an interview with The A.V. Club published on August 28, 2017, Peter Stormare came up with his own costume design for the appearance of Lucifer - the off white linen suit with tar dripping down from his feet are specifically mentioned. The producer and director had initially wanted "leather pants, bare-chested...a dog collar with spikes" and tattoos over Stormare's face and chest. In addition to the title role, the movie stars Rachael Weisz, Shia Lebeouf, Peter Stormare, Djimon Hounsou, and Tilda Swinton. When the title character attempts suicide, he cuts his left wrist, and Lucifer reaches out to claim him with his left hand, in keeping with the traditional depiction of the left ("sinister") side being associated with evil.
