I can only name #2. He went upstairs, and the actor was never seen again. (The character was later said to have joined the army, so we heard OF him, just not FROM him.)

CORRECT, of course.

"You could have a steam train, if you'd just lay down your tracks."

"Close your eyes, girl. Look inside, girl. Let the sound take you away."

So, since George was CORRECT, it is GEORGE'S turn.

Forgot to reply. (Got busy around November 27.) This, of course, is Meat Loaf's (and Jim Steinman's) classic "PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT."

"However, I don't think ignoring "the elephant in the room" strengthens anyone's conviction to know and understand "the truth." " Not trying to be difficult here, trying to discuss. I'm not sure what you're referring to as "the elephant in the room" here. If you'll tell me what it is, I'll try to address it rather than ignore it. (Not that I'm that writer, but I am here to discuss.)

It's always sad to see someone this good go. I had a neighbor pass away the other year. She'd alienated all of her neighbors, and all of her family. I commented afterwards that it was a terrible thing to be the kind of person about whom NOBODY would say "I'm sorry she's gone." Kit was obviously the reverse- we're all sorry she's gone.

BTW, that would have worked better for the Trivia thread.

Last to go was Bill himself. Before Bill, Daryl Hannah's character with the eye patch was blinded- but allowed to live. Before that, Bill's brother Bud was killed- but not by The Bride. (He actually had gotten the drop on her and buried her alive.) In Volume One, the African-American chick who had WANTED to be Black Mamba was first, IIRC. Second was Lucy Liu's character in the final scene. (After the big fight scenes with the Crazy 88 and so on, music by The 5678's.) So, after her was The Bride almost dying, Bud dying, the eye patch chick as good as dying, and finally Bill himself.

Hey, now, hey now, "DON'T DREAM IT'S OVER." (Crowded House.)

Dustin Hoffman, not Robin Williams. Rain Man was the excellent driver, and Mrs Robinson was trying to seduce The Graduate. "I'm walking here!" was an ad lib as the actor stepped off a curb and a car got close. They kept it in because it worked so well. Edit- Oh, you knew it was Hoffman. Never mind.

The decades determined what an average-sized class was. Apparently, you took it in the 60s or 70s. By the mid-80s. the classes were on videotape or nothing, although I've heard of grads taking audio-only classes. For us, they didn't run until at least 6 were signed up. IIRC, when I took it, there were 8 of us signed up, 7 of us showed up for Session 1. Three of us showed up for Session 12- myself, a coordinator's wife, and a different coordinator's son. (Plus a bunch of grads who showed up suddenly for Session 12. No pressure, right?) Later, we started to have recommendations, like "if you're going to retake it, please show up for the whole thing so you don't startle the new students" and so on. One clever fellow set up adjoining rooms, one behind the other, with a doorway looking into the front room. Both rooms had a television feed from the VCR. The front room was where the new students sat, and the back room was where all the grads sat. It was a lot smoother for the students. Naturally, that was also good when we actually had enough new students to make a front room feasible.

*peeks into the thread cautiously* I'm not in favor of discussion by video link or otherwise, and prefer we discuss directly, but I know I'm in the minority there. As for oldiesman's link, it led to a page I, on the whole, didn't find particularly useful.....however, I followed a number of the links and found a single link that I found useful. https://viamedia.news/2023/09/20/jesus-did-not-call-a-woman-a-dog/ He takes a while to get there- it's a bit like reading one of my expository posts- but I thought the answer was good enough that it was work a link. I won't do the writer the injustice of quoting a relevant snippet because the journey was as much a part of the answer as the direct explanation. So, even I can make exceptions.

I could partly name which characters went in which order, but I can't match any of them to their code-names, except for the Bride whom you already named. I remember one objecting because SHE wanted to be "Black Mamba" instead. Let me know if you want me to try to name them- but I'd have to be flexible in HOW I named them, since I don't remember all their names.

"He hates but one man: the man who stole his shoes." "That's because there is no air in the windmills of your mind." "He swallowed a live hand grenade. He has no internal organs." "What's your favorite ice cream flavor?" "Buffalo Ripple."

The other movies? Well, this was the last, IIRC. The first was "the Wolf Man." LC Jr played Larry Talbot. Larry was attacked by a wolf that was later killed. That was a werewolf, and Larry was infected. Bela Lugosi played "Bela", a gypsy traveling through the area- who turned into a werewolf and attacked Larry. A sort-of sequel to that movie was "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man." LC Jr as Larry Talbot, and Bela Lugosi as Frankenstein's Monster. Between the two movies was "The Ghost of Frankenstein." LC Jr as The Monster, BL as Ygor. There was a sort-of round robin of the actors in a number of roles across a decade or so.

"The same thing happened to me!" The Twilight Zone movie mentioned some troops shooting an officer dead "accidentally" in a "friendly fire" incident. The specifics are identical to the note at the end of "Stripes", where a character with the same name was said to have been killed by his soldiers in a "friendly fire" incident. (BTW, according to "Murphy's Laws of Combat", "Friendly fire- isn't." In "Animal House", John Belushi/Bluto came across a guy playing a guitar badly. He snatched the guitar, smashed it against the wall, then handed back the stick. "Sorry." In an episode of ST TNG, (Q pid), Geordi was trying to play a mandolin- and failing. Worf walked over to him and signaled him to pass over the mandolin. Worf smashed it against a tree, then handed back the stick. "Sorry." In "Brotherhood of the Wolf", very early in the movie, they're investigating a murder. It's believed to have been a wolf attack that killed someone. When the corpse is found, it's a young woman wearing a red cape. I've forgotten so many of these.

In case anyone is confused, I'd like to clarify. oldiesman confirmed there was a lawsuit that was filed. He did not confirm the lawsuit had merit or that it was factually correct. But, as a point of history, he confirmed that people were saying that at the time.

CORRECT! Glenn Strange returned to play Frankenstein's Monster (again.) BL and LC reprised their most famous roles in this movie. Nice little Vincent Price cameo, too.

BTW, every word I posted was correct, and I phrased myself carefully in both posts.

Thanks. I don't think I've ever heard of this band before.

`For the benefit of those of us who don't want to load a YouTube video just to get the title of a song, can someone actually post the answer?

In case you're wondering, I'm not aware of any animated or voice-work that unites the actors. This is solely about films where the cameras were pointed at both actors in the usual fashion.
