Obviously, someone traveled in time, either physically or in mind (there were a number of those.)

"Hot Tub Time Machine"???

John Ratzenberger        Billy Dee Williams        Denis Lawson

Elaine Baker   Clive Revill     Ian McDiarmid

Frank Oz    Ralph McQuarrie    Treat Williams

Bob Anderson     Harrison Ford      Sir Alec Guiness

I really thought this was going to be a LOT easier.

Frank Oz?  Is this another Muppet movie?

George

*smack* No.

Let's suppose that Frank Oz not only did movies not involving "the Muppets", but he even played as an actor in a few movies.  (Because both are true.)  His other voice roles would count, as would his on-screen roles.

Look at the rest of the list.  Does anyone else's name ring any kind of bell?

Ok, I'll find something else.

Too bad. I sometimes note how JR played that role, and Denis Lawson is known in some circles for playing exactly one role.

twi is still run by old fogeys who seized power so they could have the money and the power, and won't let go.  They're trying to figure out how to interest young people, since without young people, twi's fading into obscurity.  It's an old people ministry that hasn't appealed to young folks since the 1980s, and that means, as their population ages out and some drop dead of old age and others leave, they don't have any replacements to pay 10% or more of their income because they are suckers to keep the luxuries coming in for the people at the top.

So, twi now has a handful of old farts in power trying to convince young people that twi is actually relevant and meaningful.  How are they doing that? They're reviving what worked in the 1970s with the baby boomers, in their own foolish youth.  It would be funny if it wasn't sad.

"The bandit wore WHAT?"  "He wore plum."  "He wore a FRUIT?"  "No, Alcalde, he was dressed entirely in plum. Everything matched."

"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."

It was probably "Dawn of the Dead", then.  Ok, let's see, next movie....

"DAY TRIPPER", the Beatles.

"Aaaaaalllllrhighty then...."

Since George acknowledged I posted the correct answer, it must be my turn...

BTW, in English, we usually put the adjective before the noun it describes, and in Spanish they usually put the adjective AFTER the noun it describes.  So, when translating, you swap the positions.

Example:  Ricky Martin sang "Livin' La Vida Loca."  Word for word, "the life crazy." However, it's translated "the crazy life"- and he even includes that line early in the song in English. "She'll make you live the crazy life..."

So, the President's office in Argentina is called "La Casa Rosada", which would be translated "The Pink House" and not "The House Pink" because that would be ungrammatical.

The movie "Casablanca" has, literally "House white" but would be translated "White House".  The US President's residence and office are "The White House" of course, and in Spanish, it's "La Casa Blanca."

I've heard people speak Spanish and put the adjective before the noun like in English- but in those cases, they were people who spoke a lot of English and "Spanglish" as well, so, that's not exactly a "pure" Spanish as much as an English-influenced phrasing.

I've heard "Everybody's Got Something...."  on the air before.  "Helter Skelter" is actually very famous- but not for being on The White Album.

Bono: "Here's a song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles. We're stealing it back." Bono said that as U2 went into their version of "Helter Skelter." IIRC, that was on U2's "Rattle and Hum" album.

"White House."

Sorry. Ran it past the Mrs, as she's the bigger Beatle-phile. She didn't recognize it either.

When Principle Rooney is at the school in "Ferris Bueller" and let's Sloane go home with Ferris (posing as her dad) then, Ferris asks, "Do you have a kiss for Daddy", and upon seeing them kiss, that is what the Principal says!

"I guess you guys weren't ready for that yet".  Unless someone wants to keep playing, then I suppose I should give it up to a FREE POST.

"BACK TO THE FUTURE!"

I COULD have recognized the Ferris Buehler quote, but I did not.

Just go and listen to all 5 teachings and you'll know what I mean.

 

 

 

When you answer "Why should I sit through 3 hours of this?"  with "You'll know what I mean once you sit through all 3 hours", you should not be surprised you don't get any nibbles.  (That goes for everyone here, but you're famous for that non-answer.)

Could be any of several movies. 

"NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD"???

Ok, next one.

"Kill anyone today, Curly?"

"Day ain't over, yet."

Actually, "WIlson" was the "friend" in "Cast Away",  a ball made by the Wilson company.  The Spalding company makes those also.  Just as "Gilligan's Island" wasn't EXACTLY the movie, I misnamed the ball. (Then again, "Madagascar" spoofed "Wilson" with "Spalding" also in an obvious "Cast Away" reference.)

Paul Rodriguez wondered about the Skipper and Gilligan. "What's wrong with Gilligan AND the Skipper? Why hasn't anyone nailed Mary Ann yet? if there was a Chicano on the island, we would have overpopulated it.  'Yeah, Mary Ann!  Yeah, Ginger!  You know what?  Go ahead and bring Mrs Howell over, too...' "

It's always a shocker when we see how actors/actresses/performers have aged while we remember them from their roles.   Stan Laurel insisted on being out of the public eye in his later years. No matter how much money he was offered, he refused to make public appearances. He wanted people to remember Laurel and Hardy as they did, with no new memory of an older actor to interfere with that.
