  1. It is. Burgess Meredith had all the funniest lines. George
  2. No. Morse Code usually uses SOS. I'll just flip the cards here. French for "Help Me!" is "M'aidez!" pronounced "mayday" and usually spelled as such. FREE POST (Of course, I "borrowed" Human's spot, so he should go if he has one. George
  3. That's the one. I thought that maybe San Antonio would lead people to guess heroes from the Alamo, but Teddy Roosevelt (a major, at the time) enlisted over 1500 Rough Riders in the bar of the Menger Hotel. George
  4. Significantly, there's a signed photo of Berenger in this role in the bar of the Menger Hotel in San Antonio. Tom Berenger Paul Giamatti Richard Dreyfuss Brian Keith Robin Williams Robert Vaughn Edward G. Robinson Jake Busey Aidan Quinn George
  5. I honestly don't know WHEN it was first used, though it probably preceded the Titanic. I'm really asking about the origin of the term. George
  6. Fascinating choice, but wrong. If I were to say whom I would expect in this role, it would be Berenger or Keith. Tom Berenger Paul Giamatti Richard Dreyfuss Brian Keith Robin Williams Robert Vaughn Edward G. Robinson Jake Busey Aidan Quinn George
  7. Tom Berenger Paul Giamatti Richard Dreyfuss Brian Keith Robin Williams Robert Vaughn George
  8. "If I am wrong, I'm insane... but if I'm right, it's even worse than if I was wrong." "I'll just die if I don't get this recipe. I'll just die if I don't get this recipe. I'll just die if I don't get this recipe." George
  9. Hugh Jackman The Greatest Showman Zendaya George
  10. Play That Funky Music "We're caught in a trap. I can't walk out." George
  11. Yeah. Though there's a whole bunch that WAS allowable back then which probably couldn't get by today. You're up. George
  12. A new show on CBS (or Paramount, if you prefer), "Elsbeth." Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) is a Chicago lawyer given a "consent decree" to follow police in a certain New York precinct, because the precinct has had a reputation for crossing the lines. She winds up solving all the murders, of course, showing up the actual detectives. Picture Columbo as a soccer mom. As in Columbo, we all see the murder, so we know whodunnit; the fun is watching Elsbeth figure it out. There is a side arc, in that the captain of the precinct may or may not be dirty. (I'm hoping, not.) George
  13. "Is it twue how I've heard your people awe -- gifted? It's twue! It's TWUE!" George
  14. I know they were together for a long time. I just can't think of many movies with both of them in them. George
  15. Tom Berenger Paul Giamatti Richard Dreyfuss George
  16. I Am a Rock "Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floating; Old Mississippi, she's calling my name," George
  17. I can only think of Mr and Mrs Bridge, but I'm sure there were others. Three, total? George
  18. Verad Dax, actually. Deep Space 9 used to show here every morning. I suppose Lionel Luthor would have been one of the "obvious" roles. George
  19. No. Older actress. Little Women Spitfire Sylvia Scarlett Mary of Scotland Bringing Up Baby The Philadelphia Story Woman of the Year Adam's Rib Pat and Mike George
