  1. Next movie. There once was a plan to spoof this movie, but that plan fell through, and the later movie didn't spoof it at all- just its location. This movie included an ensemble that got rather emotional filming some scenes since they cut a bit close to their own personal experiences- and memories. Some time after this movie was released, someone sent a spec-script around with the original movie's plot, and its name from when they were writing it pre-release. A number of people recognized the movie, and others claimed it was "not good enough" to be a successful movie. A few added there was too much dialogue and not enough sex. One actress intended to remake this movie. All the major studios refused to consider it. "That film is deemed untouchable." So, those plans were scrapped (for which I am grateful.) The set for the eating establishment was made for this movie, but just about everything else were pre-made sets already built by the studio. The musician in the movie was actually a drummer, despite what he pretended to play for the movie. (ACTING!)
  2. "Who's putting coffee grounds in the disposal? Am I running a bed-and-breakfast for a biker gang? Oh, that's Charles Spencer by the way. He's a great kid. Computer engineering degree. 3.6 GPA. Had a floor-level gig at Intel planned for the fall. But first, he wanted to put a few miles on his soul, before he parked it behind a desk. See the world, maybe be of service. Charlie didn't want to go to Vegas or Fort Lauderdale, which is what I would do. He didn't go to Paris or Amsterdam. Sounds fun. He decided to spend his summer, building sustainable housing for the poor." "An empire toppled by its enemies can rise again. But one which crumbles from within? That's dead. Forever." "Oh, you're going to have to take this to the shop." "Who's speaking?" "It's your conscience. We don't talk a lot these days." "When you can do the things that I can, but you don't. and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you." "Clearly retirement doesn't suit you. Get tired of playing golf?" "Well, I played 18, I shot 18. Just can't seem to miss." "Hey, man!" " What's up, Tic-Tac?" "Uh, good to see you. Look, what happened last time was... " "It was a great audition, but it'll... It'll never happen again." "Vengeance has consumed you. It's consuming them. I am done letting it consume me. Justice will come soon enough." "Tell that to the dead. " "The living are not done with you yet." "Anybody got any orange slices?" "She said, "Compromise where you can. Where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say, 'No, you move'.""
  3. Are we talking a trifecta of Woody and Mia? (Woody Allen, Mia Farrow)
  4. John Lithgow Twilight Zone- The Movie Scatman Crothers
  5. "Dorothy Gale" is also the name of the main character of "the Wizard of Oz." You read correctly- that IS a single character with the nickname "Ace" and a last name of "McShane."

  7. Ok, this show had quite a supporting cast over the years. Characters included: Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright and Dodo Chaplet, Amy Pond, Rory Williams, Clara Oswald, Rose Tyler, Dorothy Gale 'Ace'McShane, and Micky Smith, plus one dog, sort-of. In the "clever gadgets" category, this show also had a gadget ring that was replaced and generally forgotten, and some sort of magic paper that's often forgotten. Its wardrobe changes are probably as well known as anything else, to the more casual viewer. BTW, Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart was also known simply as "the Brig."
  8. The original BG didn't have characters with names that sounded anything like that ( 1980 may have). Those were not names of ACTORS, they were names of CHARACTERS, which tend to be easier to remember. This show also did not have any form of dagget or daggit.

  11. I have to catch up. Post-Crisis, I've skimmed the Black Lightning episode and that's that, so far.
  12. I once read some Bachman stuff- "The Long Walk" and "Why I Was Bachman." On the one hand, Bachman's stuff began selling really well entirely on its own merits. On the other hand, when Steven King's name was later attached to his Bachman books, the sales multiplied. Obvious differences included more exposure, and readers having confidence in a particular writer's work over unknown quantities. (I have a dozen or so authors I really like, so I get that.) Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse "the Body" Ventura, IIRC, both became governors (Ben Richards and Captain Freedom.) Erland van Lidth was in Stir Crazy as well as "THE RUNNING MAN." As "Dynamo", he sang his own arias while driving his Stalker vehicle. Big dude, went to MIT, wrestled and sang opera. Had a short acting career due to dying young. So, the movie is "THE RUNNING MAN." Ended on a much happier note than the book of the same name. Although the book didn't have Dweezil Zappa saying "Don't touch that dial."
  13. Ok, that's more like it. Sharon Stone Total Recall Arnold Schwarzenegger
  14. I think I saw all of the first episode. They tried for a British secret agent show. We didn't feel like watching that.
  15. Next song. "Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee. There was three young ladies in the school gym locker When I noticed they was lookin' at me. I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady 'Til the boys told me somethin' I missed. Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor So I gave her just a little kiss Like this."
  16. Jack Black The Muppets Anchorman- the Legend of Ron Burgundy Ben Stiller ("Como estan, beeshes?....")
  17. No, I rarely know what album is connected to what songs.
  18. Any chance this was PHOEBE CATES? That Gail Berke clue reminds me of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."
  19. There were quite a few live actors The Muppets besides Jack Black. Actresses, too.
  20. That's the movie. The teacher, Sloan, and Principal Rooney. If we all drew a blank, I was going to add Alan Ruck, and Matthew Broderick.
  21. Apparently, you're Lord George now. Where did you get a peerage?
