  1. Kidnapping is the theme of this movie. An ex-mob boss is kidnapped by a group of four kids in a haphazard attempt at paying the ransom for another, separate kidnapping. Meanwhile, a talk show host is kidnapped by a desperate fan, trying to get a stand-up spot on the show. (Note: the overlap isn't quite perfect.) George
  2. This movie became the first motion picture, since Cimarron (1931), to be nominated for every Academy Award category in which it was eligible, including Best Adapted Screenplay, Director, all the acting categories, and Picture of the Year. The Supporting Actress, who was pregnant at the time of filming, suffered a miscarriage on the set. The MPAA insisted on the removal of the term "screw you" from the film where it was replaced with the term "God damn you" but allowed the terms "screw" and "hump the hostess" to remain in the film. George
  3. Correct. Many of the songs are early on, as sort of "theme music" for each of the villains. George
  4. This series was a veritable hotbed for up and coming, fresh-faced TV stars just starting their acting careers. The most notable ones worth looking for are: Jack Lord, Ricardo Montalban, Sonny and Cher, William Shatner AND Lenoard Nimoy (in the same episode), James Doohan, Werner Klemperer, June Lockhart and Robert Culp. Within a few years of their guest appearances on this show., they would go on to star in their own iconic TV shows from this era. One of the stars worked on his Ph.D. during the course of the series, and often was allowed to leave the set early so that he could attend night classes. The show's third season saw a change of style that resulted in the amount of comedy being increased in response to the "camp" craze made popular by Batman (1966) and Get Smart (1965). As a result, the show's ratings plummeted and the series never recovered. Despite a return to serious stories the next year, it was cancelled midway through its fourth season. George
  5. I'm thinking "WKRP in Cincinnati," eye-candy receptionist being the main clue. I do seem to remember a sequel, as well. I thought it did fine in its original run, but maybe it did better in syndication. I'm guessing it couldn't be rebroadcast because there actually IS a WKRP, now? George
  6. “House Of The Rising Sun” “You Don’t Own Me” “Sympathy For The Devil" “Standing In The Rain” “Super Freak" “Purple Lamborghini” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” “Slippin’ Into Darkness” “Fortunate Son" "“Spirit In The Sky” “Bohemian Rhapsody” George
  7. OK, then Nacho Libre Jack Black School of Rock George (no problems logging in...)
  8. I just saw it again. I don't feel too bad about missing it, because she said it quickly and not very distinctly. Nonetheless, it is hysterical! George
  9. That must have been when Felicity couldn't talk after time-jumping. I missed it. Fortunately, I've kept the recording. I'll have to check it out! George
  10. "Shaka, when the walls fell." Obviously, I recognize your ST Next Generation reference. I just don't understand the application. George
  11. Well, now we know that Mick and Sara have the same taste in women. George
  12. I suspect that I'll recognize the actor, but I'm not getting it from the list of roles. George
  13. Correct. If it's a wild guess, I have to assume you haven't seen the movie. The "classical music" was punk rock. :-) George
  14. Since googling is allowed after a few days, I imagine someone will chime in. I suppose one COULD "win" this game if he could end with ... James Whitmore Give 'em Hell, Harry Since Whitmore is the ONLY actor in GEHH, there would be no legal move. George
  15. True. The crossover part is only the last three minutes, and it all appears on Flash, too. George
  16. Spirit in the Sky You Don't Own Me House of the Rising Sun Bohemian Rhapsody George
  17. "Yeah, they say it hurts less if it's a surprise." "If I may adopt a parlance with which you are familiar, I can confirm that theory to be horses--t." "We got no ship, no crew, how're going to get out of this one?" "We will find hope in the impossible." "You gave your girlfriend a radioactive jewelry?" "The emission is harmless, Doctor. But its unique signature makes it very easy to identify." "You gave your girlfriend a tracking device?" "Is that classical music I hear?" "Yes, Doctor, I believe it is." "Leaving me behind will significantly increase your chances of survival, Doctor." "Well that's damn chivalrous of you, but completely out of the question." George
  18. Ben Kingsley Without a Clue Michael Caine George
  19. Well, the BIG CROSSOVER is underway. WW, if you don't get shows in this order where you live, you need to watch Supergirl, Flash, Arrow, LoT. I like the contrast of Kara's buoyant optimism vs. Oliver's grimness. (He almost seems to be a Batman surrogate.) It seems, though, that Supergirl's main role is to smile and pose heroically. I also wish that they had pulled Martian Manhunter into "Arrow Universe," along with Supergirl. Then it would have been, to quote Felicity, "Best super-hero team-up EVER!" LoT on tonight. I'll try to restrain myself from further comment until WW lets us know he's seen the string. George
  20. Helena Bonham Carter Meat Loaf Edward Norton Brad Pitt George
  21. The only movie I can think of with William Macy and Greg Kinnear is "Mystery Men." George
  22. "You gave your girlfriend a radioactive jewelry?" "The emission is harmless, Doctor. But its unique signature makes it very easy to identify." "You gave your girlfriend a tracking device?"
