  1. Anything funny got cut out of the Director's Cut (sadly). But, yes, theatrical version of Justice League. George
  2. I was thinking only DC. I didn't read nearly enough Marvel back in the day. Here's a hint: with one exception, they all had to do with the Justice League. George
  3. Listen to "Sweet Little Sixteen," and then listen to "Surfin' USA." FREE POST George
  4. I'm not sure of all your ages, but I think you're all old enough to answer this, I suppose the question would rather be if you're enough of an old DC Comics fan. I find the art in today's comics good but indistinguishable, one artist from the next. When I was a kid, I could recognize most artists' work. Name the main character (or group) drawn by each of these artists. Four needed to win. A couple of them might be known for more than one character, I will accept any.

  5. Clue "Honestly... I think we're gonna be dead way before that. And you know what? I don't mind. It's an honorable end. But we've gotta shut Steppenwolf down. Superman's a no-show. You've got no powers, no offense. This guy might be working for the enemy. We don't know. You're tripping over your feet, and mine... Whuf, you're gorgeous, and fierce... and strong." George
  6. No. The star received his draft notice in 1943, and trained at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, before shipping out for North Africa. He was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division in time for the invasion of Anzio. Ten days after the invasion, he was severely wounded in the leg and foot by machine gun fire. He lost part of his foot, and received a medical discharge from the Army. When shooting movies or television shows, any scenes that required extensive walking would be shot early in the morning, before his feet and knees started giving out. For his service, he received: a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with three bronze campaign stars, the World War II Victory Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge. The star was the only actor to appear in every episode. One other actor missed only thirty episodes, six while he was recovering from a heart attack. The show was slated to be cancelled in 1967 due to low ratings, but CBS President William Paley, who was a big fan, reversed the decision. He moved the show from Saturdays to Mondays (cancelling Gilligan's Island in the process), placing it back in the Nielsen's Top Ten. Though the show went many seasons, the star only kissed a woman once during its run. In Spanish-speaking countries, the series is known as La Ley del Revólver. The star was reluctant to take the role, fearing it would hurt his movie career. His good friend John Wayne convinced him to take the part. George
  7. "Doe, a deer, a female deer; Ray, a drop of golden sun..." George
  8. To be fair, without Firefly already in mind, the names Kaylee and Jayne could have been anybody and, likely, both women. Now if you had thrown in a "Goram" or "Shining" line, it might have been a bit more obvious. George
  9. I remember watching the ST cartoon when it first came out, but I don't think I've seen it since, so I don't remember what color Klingon uniforms were. Color-blind. I love it! George
  10. Might be Star Trek (There have been DC, Marvel, IDW, and Dell comics.) The bad guys would be either Klingons or Romulans. Maybe Romulans to keep them from being confused with Vulcans. The Star Trek cartoon was rather low-budget. George

  12. Okay, then. "So let it be written. So let it be done!" George
  13. I have no idea, but "hands of blue" might imply Smurfs (?) George
  14. Anchorman Christina Applegate Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead George
  15. Indeed. FWIW, while my (now ex-) wife spent the night before our wedding with her daughters, sisters, and friends, I was home arranging deliveries, writing checks... We DID have a rehearsal dinner... George
  16. Real Genius Jon Gries Napoleon Dynamite George
  17. I didn't even have one, though I've been to a few. George
  18. That would presumably be "Community." George
  19. I would have gotten it from the Sensuous Nurse, but She and Dr. No were also ones I'd have recognized. You're up. George
  20. This was one of a very famous star's first movies. He had already starred in a TV show. Kelly McGillis had secured the female lead, but was fired early in the shoot because she wasn't considered to be pretty or sexy enough. Julia Louis-Dreyfuss was also considered for the role. Some considered for the male lead ("Rick") were Paul Reiser, Jim Carrey, Howie Mandel and Tim Robbins. The scene where the nude Tracy (Monique Gabrielle) seduces Rick was cut out of mainstream TV broadcasts. Gabrielle said they also shot a TV version where she wears a negligee with one strap lowered, but it was also cut out of broadcasts because it showed too much cleavage. George
