  1. I think WW is only a couple of years younger than I, so he would have been around in the late 60s, and probably old enough to listen to the radio. It seems like a pleasant song, but I don't remember it. George
  2. Byrne and McCrindle were two of the rebellion generals. BTW, I saw "Solo" and thought it was fine. I heard that it wasn't very well received, but I haven't heard any specific criticisms. What was the problem? George
  3. I hate to be the spoiler, but it seems that some of you are so far behind that I'll never get to post anything, if I wait for you to catch up. George
  4. Now that Supergirl is done for the season, all of the DC shows are wrapped up. I'm sad to see that Winn and Mon-el are leaving, and M'yrrn (and J'onn?). They all added warmth to the show. And Wally is leaving LoT (and Flash). It's like watching your kids leave home. George
  5. Albert Brooks Private Benjamin Goldie Hawn George
  6. Of course, the OT also has a punishment for manslaughter (flee to a city of refuge until the death of the High Priest). The person who causes the pregnant woman to lose her child does not face that punishment, either. George
  7. The Bucket List Jack Nicholson Broadcast News George
  8. You are correct! Which was as I had hoped. George
  9. 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. George
  10. Since Christopher Lloyd had been used recently, let's do Raul Julia Presumed Innocent Harrison Ford George
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. Colin Firth Kingsman: The Secret Service Samuel L. Jackson George
  15. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound Nothing to eat, no books to read George
  16. "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
  17. Eddie Byrne Alex McCrindle Peter Cushing George
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. I guessed as much. Not helpful, yet, though. George
