I am all over the map with what I'm reading currently. It varies with what's close at hand and any passing whim. I finished the "Wheel of Time" saga a few months back. I'm currently alternating some Star Wars books (right now, the Black Fleet Crisis, which isn't bad but isn't great either), The Lone Wolf gamebook series, and the "Phule's Company" series. The Wheel of Time is an excellent read if very long. Robert Aspirin's "Phule's Company" is meant as light science fiction, and is a fun read. Here's the premise... in some future, The Space Legion is the least-respected of the military branches. Each soldier takes on a new name when he/she joins, usually wanting to break with their past. The series began with Lt Scaramouche's court martial. The General in charge of the meeting was evasive as to why they COULDN't throw the book at him. Finally, he revealed the Lt's last name was "Phule"- he was the son of the CEO of Phule-Proof Munitions, their main weapons supplier and main employer of retired Space Legionnaires. They settled on an assignment so unpleasant he'd just quit. They forced him to change his name, and gave him a promotion to Captain. Captain Jester was then put in charge of the current "omega company" -the dumping-ground for those who can't even make it in the Space Legion. Rather than just quit, Captain Jester/ Willard Phule decided to put his talents (and his finances) into turning the unit around, and the trouble REALLY started after that. For SF, I tend to prefer lighter fare- with little heavier than the Star Wars "Legends" Extended Universe. For fantasy, I'll read the lighter stuff as well as the heavier stuff. My preferences there are for settings with coherent magic systems- the Recluce series, the Dresden Files (modern fantasy), and the Wheel of Time. I've enjoyed the Harry Potter series, but I've also noted some glaring problems with the magic system (from the last 2 books- the others held together reasonably well.) If you want, I can recommend every single thing in either setting that I WOULD recommend, but I don't think you're looking for that.

I only know Sam Jones for that role, but I didn't think you knew him for it. I was working my way up to Buster Crabbe. AFAIK, more people know him for that role. YES, this is "FLASH GORDON."

Ok, here's some actors, please name the role. Sam Jones Steve Holland Robert Ridgely

Morgan Freeman Lucy Scarlet Johanssen

Another quote would be appreciated.

I imagine that first role was a Med student. *wild swing* Steve Martin??

Often, when I blow the trivia on this thread, the answer was "HALLOWEEN." is that this movie?

I know SOME of that, but I'll have to consult with Mrs Wolf for the rest.

This seems vaguely familiar, but nothing is springing to mind yet.

Anchorman- the legend of Ron Burgundy Steve Carrell Bruce Almighty

Correct! His preceding hit- and last round's song- was "Eyes Without A Face."

Ok, changing songs. Same artist, different song. "Hey little sister, who is it you're with? Hey little sister, what's your vice and wish? Hey little sister shot gun (oh yeah) Hey little sister, who's your Superman? Hey little sister, shot gun!"

That's him, in all sorts of roles. Most famous besides Gomez Addams was probably M. Bison of "Street Fighter." However, he's done live theater, so it wasn't a stretch to play Captain MacHeath/ Mack the Knife,.

I'm all out of hope. One more bad break Could bring a fall. When I'm far from home Don't call me on the phone To tell me you're alone. It's easy to deceive. It's easy to tease, But hard to get release." "I spend so much time Believing all the lies To keep the dream alive. Now it makes me sad, It makes me mad at truth For loving what was you." "When you hear the music you make a dip Into someone else's pocket then make a slip. Steal a car and go to Las Vegas. Oh, the gigolo pool. Hanging out by the state line, Turning holy water into wine, Drinkin' it down, oh. I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip, Reading murder books, & trying 'ta stay hip. I'm thinkin' of you. You're out there so Say your prayers. Say your prayers. Say your prayers."

That's it. That's the scene where they fight, and instantly heal from the injuries. "We'll be at this ALL DAY."

BTW, Anthony Quinn's ticket to stardom was playing Italian characters. However, he was secretly Latino, as were other actors like Michael Sheen (Estevez).

That would be the next name. Just to make this official, Goerge, that means this is?

I knew you'd know once I posted Alejandro's nickname was Sandy, but I wasn't sure if you'd know before. Or if you'd answer first.

Gregory Robinson Rick Blaine Aristotle Onassis Franco Bertollini Michael Reisler Cottard Ulrich Sigmund Strom Vinnie Iacona Victor Frankenstein Aram Fingal Captain MacHeath Kalibanos Valentin Arregui Roberto Strausmann Oscar Romero Alejandro "Sandy" Stern Arturo Duran Stu Quinones Aram Fingal M. Bison Arturo Duran (That should more than do it. Otherwise, I'll have to post the most obvious of all his roles.)

BTW, this actor has been onscreen at some point in the "Framed" thread.

Ok, next film.

Sorry. Between both life and multiple threads, it can be hard to keep up, :)

"I'm all out of hope. One more bad break Could bring a fall. When I'm far from home Don't call me on the phone To tell me you're alone. It's easy to deceive.

This is not an obscure song, so with more lyrics, you may get it.

It IS "A Knight's Tale." The Canterbury Tales inspired part of the movie. "The Knight's Tale" obviously is part, and we met Chaucer, and the Pardoner during the story. The woman armorer was The Wife of Bath. Chaucer both writes, and acts as "Ulrich's" herald- as seen in the quote above.
