  1. How about "Thor- Dark World" (Thor 2)???
  2. What was that movie I liked him in? Oh, yeah. P C U Jon Favreau Iron Man 2
  3. OK, I have another movie. This movie is from a famous director, and is a famous movie in its own right. The script was based on a novel, and the English translation of the novel's title is "Cold Sweat- From Among the Dead." This movie is largely set in and around San Francisco (California.) This movie had an alternate ending. As was common at the time, the European censors were appeased by an ending that made sure no villain got away. (It can be seen as a deleted scene in the Collector's Edition.) Two of the main characters are safe, and a radio announcement tells of the arrest of the mastermind behind the crime. It has been said that you need to see this movie at least twice to get it- once to focus on the plot, and once to focus on the characters and themes and so on. One criticism of this movie is the pacing- it suffers from a lack of explosions, fist fights, and flash, and the first half APPEARS to have little happening in it- the first time you see the movie. But if you trust that the movie earned its reputation and the director did as well, you can stick with it and observe the movie transform while you watch. Martin Scorcese raved about this movie. Among his comments- "As is the case with all great films, truly great films, no matter how much has been said and written about them, the dialogue about it will always continue." "In fact, it just stands alone - period. For such a personal work with such a uniquely disturbing vision of the world to come out of the studio system when it did was not just unusual - it was nearly unthinkable." He also praised the "astonishing" title sequence and the "tragically beautiful score." One of the main characters is seen early in the movie, in a high-rise apartment. It is his friend's apartment, not his own, and he is visiting. Otherwise, we'd have a rather curious question to pose to the character or the director.
  4. Since "Edith" appears, it can't be a sequel or spinoff series, so we have "ALL IN THE FAMILY."
  5. Starsky and Hutch Ben Stiller Anchorman- the Legend of Ron Burgundy
  6. "Opening dialog" is debatable, but it is the correct title, and the correct artist. So, CORRECT!
  7. No. Wrong decade, wrong band. I usually try not to post much past 1985.
  8. The first was when the Ricardos wanted to be let out of their lease, and became obnoxious tenants. Ricky did a band rehearsal in the living room. (The Mertzes sold tickets to it.) When the Mertzes got home, Lucy recommended this dance- the Mexican Hat Dance. Between the 12-piece band and the crowd doing the stomps, the Mertzes ended up with part of the ceiling falling on them. One episode had Lucy being superstitious and into numerology. She blew a deal for Ricky because it was a bad day for his number. She contacted the client, and found out he was also into all of that, and was looking to have a seance performed. Lucy arranged for Ethel to conduct a phony seance in their living room. For a moment. Fred pretended Ethel's medium's name was "Rhea." Lucy pretended to have all sorts of problems to get sympathy. When Ricky caught her, he had a "doctor" (actor Hal Marsh) show up and examine her. She had a fatal illness- the gol-bloots, which travels on the hind legs of the booshoo bird. She should be fine as long as she doesn't turn green.... The gang of 4 got a freezer, and bought meat wholesale. They knew how big a side of pork was (half a pig.) So, they ordered 2 sides (that is, one entire cow's worth of meat.) They tried to sell some of the meat to people to make up some of the money. In fairness, they saved a lot by buying the meat wholesale, but it was a LOT of money to drop at once, even if it was an entire year's worth of meat. The boys and the girls traded places to see who had it harder. The boys cooked and cleaned, the women went to work. Ricky planned to make chicken and rice, and have Fred bake a cake for dessert. Fred didn't seem to know much about rice. Meanwhile, the girls went to work at the factory, wrapping chocolates on an assembly line. During a trip to Europe, a director wanted Lucy for a movie he was working on, called "Bitter Grapes." She decided to go work in a wine vineyard to learn about the role, and ended up stained purple after a fight with anoither worker in the wine vat. But the director had wanted her to play a TOURIST. Since she was stained purple and filming starts tomorrow, he asked Ethel to play the tourist. If you know the series, any number of those episodes will ring a bell... The Mertzes with a chandelier around their necks, the phony seance to contact Tilly, Lucy and the fake diagnosis, Lucy and Ethel with a pram in a butcher's shop, selling to the customers, the ill-fated cooking or the girls working on the assembly line, Lucy fighting in the wine vat.
  9. That's it. A lot of those were from famous episodes.
  10. "Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back." "I'm ready." "I brought my pencil! Gimme something to write on, man." "Oh man, I think the clock is slow, man." "What are you doing this weekend?" "I don't feel tardy." "Class dismissed!" "Ooh, yeah!"
  11. " 'El Breako the Leaso'?" "Introducing Rhea, the Medium. Well done, Medium Rhea!" "I got the golbloots from a booshoo bird?!" "We may have to remove her Zorch." "How can you sell meat so cheap?" "I'm glad you asked that. We rope, we brand, we butcher. We do everything but eat it for you." "What do you know about rice?" "Well, I had it thrown at me on one of the darkest days in my life." "It's going to be called "Bitter Grapes." I wonder what part they want me for." "Oh, you're probably going to be one of the bunch." "Babalu!"

  13. He handed it over to me since he was blanking at the moment. (He's also a little busy.) Since I don't have one in mind right now, I'm turning it over for a FREE POST. If I think of something before anyone else, I'll go immediately.
