  1. Hiway was correct, of course. Though most people remember Diana Rigg as Emma Peel, she was preceded by Honor Blackman as Catherine Gale in early B&W episodes. Diana was replaced by Linda Thorson as Tara King (my personal favorite) in the last season of the original Avengers. Joanna Lumley played Purdey in "The New Avengers" for two seasons in the mid-70's. All opposite the unflappable Patrick MacNee as John Steed.

    Honor Blackman was also, of course, wimp Galore in "Goldfinger." Diana Rigg was Tracy Di Vicenzo in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." The latter film was the only to star George Lazenby as Bond, and the only time Bond actually married. (Of course, "Tracy" had to die.)

    When "The Avengers" first aired in the States, I thought it was about the Marvel super-hero group. I was disappointed to find out otherwise, but I grew to enjoy the show immensely. The 1998 film was okay, but a bit of a disappointment.

  2. Dooj, I have no idea about your quote, but just so this doesn't stall too long, here's another one from me.

    This should make it a lot easier:

    I think this boy's cheese has done slid off his cracker.

    I guess sometimes the past just catches up with you, whether you want it to or not.

    Just thought I'd bring this back to the top. I still don't recognize teh movie, though. :(

  3. Just for fun, you might check out the TV show "Supernatural." (But don't tell your Branch Coordinator!!) It'a about a couple of brothers who go around stopping demons and such, usually taken from old legends and folklore. There have already been episodes about the hook guy on lovers' lane, "Bloody Mary," and a haunted scarecrow. And they drive around in a 67 Impala!

  4. This reminds me of one of the skits in "Amazon Women on the Moon" (a classic comedy film, those who don't know). Steve Gutenberg makes a date with Rosanna Arquette. When he gets to her place, she asks him for his driver's license and a credit card. She runs them through a machine and gets a printout of all the dates he's had in the last year. The results are horrifying enough for her to send him away.

    Maybe the movie was just a little ahead of its time! :)
