  1. Sounds vaguely familiar, but no clear memories. George
  2. "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles"? (I know that John Candy's character was named Del something.) George
  3. I know who they are. :) I remember a newspaper cartoon (Arlo and Janis) when George Harrison died. Arlo was looking into the distance, sighing, "He was my favorite Traveling Wilbury." George
  4. When I worked for Dow, I had the same problem. I know that I have, on occasion, made the same request. If you post a video, at least give the title! George (not a Traveling Wilburys fan, I'm afraid)
  5. I had a hunch that Picard would turn out to be whom the others thought was the Overseer, but I really don't remember this one. The name "Mintakan" rings a bell, though. George
  6. Not one I recognize from one line. Or two, apparently. ;) George
  7. One of the reasons I got booted was for not taking seriously LCM's rant about "The only reason for a space program is military defense." (I preferred Ps. 19:1.) Ironically, my Twig Leader, who was complicit in my ouster, was a mathematician for NASA. George
  8. Ed Harris Enemy at the Gates Jude Law George
  9. Yun-Fat Chow Anna and the King Jodie Foster George
  10. Interesting. It must be NG (OK, Will and Tom Riker appeared in other ST versions, but I remember them pretty well), but I'm not getting it. George
  11. I googled his picture to see what he looks like Tomorrow Never Dies Michelle Yeoh Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon George
  12. "I don't see no points on your ears, boy, but you sound like a Vulcan." "No, sir. I am an android." "Hmph. Almost as bad." "Thou art notified that thy kind hath infiltrated the galaxy too far already. Thou art directed to return to thine own solar system immediately." "Captain! The Ferengi would be very interested in a base like this." "Fine. Let's hope they find you as tasty as they did their past associates." "You must return to your world and put an end to the commies. All it takes are a few good men." George
  13. "Footloose" If there's something strange in your neighborhood... George
  14. Fifteen-hundred people went into the sea... There were twenty boats floating nearby... and only one came back. One. Six were saved from the water, myself included. Six... out of fifteen-hundred. Afterward, the seven-hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but wait... wait to die... wait to live... wait for an absolution... that would never come. George
  15. Wild, Wild West Salma Hayek Desperado George
  16. "Superman" (1st Chris Reeve) You've been given a great gift, George: A chance to see what the world would be like without you. George
  17. "Momma Told Me not to Come" by Three Dog Night They say there's seven wonders in the world But what they say is out of date There's more than seven wonders in the world I just met number eight George
  18. This is a country tune. It made the singer very popular for about two weeks. His daughter actually has a better career, now. George
  19. Well, it could have been "Spartacus." But it wasn't. "Conan the Barbarian" it is. If I had to make it easy, I would have used: "What is best in life?" "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women." Your go. George
  20. Well the first post says: after perusing Name that tune topic I started thinking of songs that we remember from the first line. title not in first line. since it's my topic I'll go first. "There she was justa walking down the street" And then a few posts later: "You did fine George I was just thinking of songs that were so memorable that they would be easy from the first line only but not too easy that the first line conatins the title." (Emphases mine.) I would say that the intent of these is to use the first line when it doesn't contain the title. George
  21. No. I'd also be surprised if you haven't seen this. It wasn't a MONSTER hit, but it did pretty well. "Food. Food! I have not eaten for days." "And who says you will?" "Give me food so I have strength when the wolves come. Let me die not in hunger, but in combat." "THAT is strength, boy! THAT is power! The strength and power of flesh! What is steel, compared to the hand that wields it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart, I gave you this! Such a waste... Contemplate this on the tree of woe. Crucify him!" "There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child." "There was a time, boy, when I searched for steel, when steel meant more to me than gold or jewels." "The riddle... of steel." "Yes! You know what it is, don't you boy? Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do. Steel isn't strong, boy, flesh is stronger!" George
