WordWolf

Maybe I already did. Mrs Wolf looked over the current list, and got it over my shoulder. She said there was 1 actor there that she only knew for exactly one role.

After this, I can either post a bunch of names you won't recognize, or about 4 names that will make it painfully obvious.

Orson Welles John Gielgud Clive Merrison Stewart Granger John Cleese Roger Moore Christopher Plummer Frank Langella Tom Baker Peter O'Toole Peter Cushing Charleton Heston Christopher Lee Patrick Mc Nee Matt Frewer Rupert Everett Jonathan Pryce Michael York Milton Berle Alan Napier Boris Karloff Peter Lawford Peter Capaldi Louis Oliver Moffatt John Barrymore Michael Caine Johnny Depp Ian McKellen Leonard Nimoy Jeremy Brett James D'Arcy Richard Roxburgh Georges Treville

Not Shakespeare, and not Herman's Hermits. So, no Henry the Eighth.

Welcome. I'm surprised you stuck in there that long, but everyone's experience was different, so that's that. If you'd like to share what you experienced, we'd like to hear it. News from 2000- 2012 or later is especially appreciated, since there's so little news on those to reach us in the first place. Feel free to ask any questions, hopefully with a little tact.

Ok, that's shocking even for them. I forget how callous the top people can be- unless it's THEIR ox getting gored, in which case we all have to drop what we are doing....

I'm surprised at the number of re-made movies. Why is the idea of remaking "CHILD'S PLAY" a good idea? I'm still trying to figure out why it got sequels.

No. He's well-known, but not QUITE as well known. But, cheez, have a lot of actors played him! (No, I didn't hide a clue in there, I was just making an observation.)

Was that the "Charles" character from the "Infantile Amusements" series?

What you said may well be true, but most of those actors never played Dracula. They all, however, have shared a different role.

No.

A) Dinner Impossible. B) Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. C) World's Worst Cooks. D)Kitchen Boss. E) Iron Chef America. F) Chefs Vs City G) Guys Grocery Games (Triple-G). George's turn!

"Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." But that's the CORRECT show.

No.

Ok, some cooking shows. Name any to take the round. A) Michael Symon filled in for a season when Robert Irvine was fired for padding his resume. RI returned for the next season, because he was interesting and Symon was not! B) Guy Fieri zooms around, stopping at little hole-in-the-wall eating establishments and other places, and finds out how they make some specialty for which they are known. The nickname for this show is "Triple-D". C) 2 chefs assemble teams, then try to teach them to make dishes- after which the teams compete to make the dishes competently. D) Buddy Velasco tried to do a standard cooking show. This was the result- and it's not his best-remembered work.... E) Who decided that the best choice for a host for a cooking show is an actor-martial artist? Mark DeCasco was the host for a while. F) This show ended because Chris Cosentino, one of its hosts, was too injured from various "eat the hot food" challenges to continue in his role. Aron Sanchez and he normally had traveled from place to place, trying to out-cook and out-race local chefs at some local dishes and local sites. (The locals may be used to making the dish all the time, and definitely knew all the driving shortcuts.) Both teams (of 2) were issued a car and backpack for the episode (ignore the backpack's contents and risk losing the episode for lack of some critical tool.) One season had Food Network chefs brought in to compete against Aron and Chris. G) Walmart "Flavortown" is the setting for this cooking show. Four chefs (professional or amateur) compete to make a specified type of dish within the parameters, using the workstations provided and the contents of the Walmart "Flavortown" supermarket in which this show is filmed.

Ok, name this role: Orson Welles John Gielgud Clive Merrison Stewart Granger John Cleese Roger Moore Christopher Plummer Frank Langella Tom Baker

"Pinky and the Brain"?

Had to be somebody who's been all over the place. In this case, this "dirty, rotten scoundrel" was MICHAEL CAINE, wasn't it?

Everybody had heard the news. It was the headline of all the UK newspapers the day before the Advanced class started. (The headline for the Daily Mail was "We Belong Together", with a photo of Germans from both East and West holding hands and standing on a piece of the wall. The headline for the Sun was "Red and Buried!" with a photo of some of the wall's wreckage.) I expect every attendee knew. I don't know why there were no comments whatsoever. I also thought it was strange that WS, the country coordinator from Germany, had to catch his news on the same little TV on the bottom floor "garden level" that the rest of us caught things on. In fairness, most of the TV I saw then- which wasn't much- was more at the local pub in the village ("the Black Bull") than the little TV.

What's twice as shocking to me, although of less relative importance to the posters, is that the people at Gartmore House didn't make any kind of comment, not even at dinner in-house. Why is that shocking to me? The country coordinator for Germany was there, helping to run an Advanced Class at the time. When he had free time, he was often watching the news to keep up (this was pre-internet for most of us.) I suspect, had vpw not killed himself with carcinogens before that and left office, he would have had a LOT to say on the subject.

"Why do you have to take this so personal?" You wouldn't like it if you were in a discussion, and suddenly disagreements went from actual discussing into "So, that's your only care and concern? Not, what the truth is?' and . "...what appears to me to be some rather emotional and artificial reason, rather than given much of any real thought to the points or questions already posed" I think you're being a bit more honest with "Look, the fact here is, I really don't care much what your reason is or isn't for posting what you did. " Antagonistic responses are arriving independent of whether we're having a nice discussion or whether someone's trying to be dishonest, underhanded, or deliberately obtuse or obstructive. If that's going to be the response style to everything, then go ahead and have the last word on the subject. I thought you wanted to discuss and have an intelligent process going, I was obviously mistaken.

WW: " the Deathstroke fight was just insulting- starting with how Deathstroke moved a LOT faster than the Flash, who apparently chose to shove his chest onto a stationary sword.) " G St G: "I seem to recall that Deathstroke basically positioned himself so that Flash could only attack from one direction. Still, highly unreasonable, since Flash can vibrate through matter and, hence, attack from ANY angle." The problem there is just how fast the Flash was. When he was LESS fast than that, we saw an issue where he was in a house where a bomb went off. Shown from his perspective, we saw he had enough time to snarf up some food (he needed to fuel up back then), collect up 2 normal speed people from inside the house, and deposit them onto the lawn outside before the explosion reached them and harmed them. Simply put, Deathstroke was effectively standing still when the Flash moved. The Flash had a LOT of time to see where he was going and what was going on. Deathstroke somehow moved his sword ONCE FLASH STARTED MOVING. BTW, if he can actually break the speed of sound like that without Flash-type powers, there should have been a sonic boom when he moved. Anyway, even if Deathstroke moved, say, at Mach 2 somehow, Flash would have had a lot of time to see that as he approached, and to react accordingly. He would have had sufficient time to move out of the way once the sword touched his shirt. And, as you said, he could simply vibrate through the sword. The fight also had the Atom forget he could adjust his mass, even slightly, and land immediately, after being pushed by a faint burst of energy. (Amazing how Deathstroke developed the ability to effortlessly see things too small to be resolved by the human eye at that moment.) Zatanna was able to speak, but lacked the focus to complete a one-syllable spell ("POTS!") Black Canary was unable to strike Deathstroke at a distance- which is something her Canary Cry does all the time, at the speed of sound. We saw JLA members, one after another, blunder their way through a fight, followed by Ollie's claim that the JLA teaches you how to fight. BTW, Hawkman is VERY focused. He can stop flying and continue a battle in free-fall, knowing he has to finish it before he can try to fly again, and has done so. If his harness was damaged while he had a free hit, he would take his free hit and then fall. Hawkman had his heavy mace in his hand- Deathstroke should have had that thing slam into his head. Oh, Green Lantern! Kyle Rayner, some time before this, had taken on the power of Ion. Before giving it up, he upgraded his GL power ring. Among the other modifications was to limit it so that it responded to him and nobody else. and he didn't have to wear it to use it. He demonstrated by flinging it out a window and calling it back to his hand. Some time later, Amon Sur stole Kyle's ring. Kyle was able to spy on all his activities, using the ring to project an image of what Amon was doing while he wore it, and Amon was unable to control it at all, but Kyle controlled it on Amon's finger. The exceptions to Kyle controlling that ring would either people sharing his DNA (like his descendants) or Hal Jordan, who previously wore that very same ring (before Ganthet reshaped it) so he was sort-of "grandfathered" in. When Deathstroke tried to control the ring, it should have ignored him. BTW, Kyle, an anime fan, knows how to use the ring to make anime powered armor to fight in a close space while being protected. When that issue hit the stands, I did a panel-by-panel breakdown of that fight. Nearly every single panel had a technical error in it. I suspect the Flash problem was the writer's inability to grasp Wally's speed at the time. Shortly before CoIE, Wally had retired. He seemed to be moving slower, and using his speed seemed to be killing him. At THAT point, Deathstroke was not much slower than him, reflex-wise. After CoIE, Wally's speed had stabilized, and his new top speed was about Mach 1. After THAT, his speed varied quite a bit, but was a LOT faster than Mach 1. After THAT, Wally merged with the Speed Force and came back, and was even FASTER afterwards. It was at THAT point that "Identity Crisis" happened. Before the merging with the Speed Force was the incident with the explosion. (Sometime before the merging, his connection to the Speed Force had improved- which is why he no longer had to eat large amounts when using his speed- he was now getting the energy from the Speed Force.) If it had been me, I would have made sure the Flash and Green Lantern were nowhere near that fight. ===================== I think there's a mistake in promising "Invasion!" on a TV budget, since animation is probably the only way to manage events on that scale. They shouldn't have set themselves such a big target to hit. So, don't blame me too much for expecting "Invasion" when that's what they intentionally promised. I wasn't crushed, but I was hoping for a lot more than we got.

TLC: "But, perhaps the intention is merely to make that particular aspect or perspective sound as difficult or as "unlikely" as possible... " TLC: "This "who is in charge" angle (or approach, if you prefer) to oikinomia is not something I've really encountered or thought much about before, and quite frankly, I'm just not sure how or someone else might see or want to frame it in those terms, aside from it being a strawman." That's twice in 2 successive posts you've accused me of handling things dishonestly. I don't know if you intended to be insulting like that, but that's what you're posting. I was under the impression that you wanted to get into all of this because you wanted an intelligent discussion, so I stayed in out of respect, but I'm not going to bother if this is how it's going to be.
