Sleepy Hollow Jeffrey Jones Ferris Buehler's Day Off

Yes! Got it in one.

Next one. "'m going to be honest with you. I hate this place. This zoo, this prison, this reality, whatever you want to call it. I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell—if there is such a thing—I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear I have somehow been infected by it—it's repulsive! Isn't it? I must get out of here. I must get free...and in this mind is the key, my key."

Splinter Cults are WORSE........not better
WordWolf replied to skyrider's topic in Out of the Way: The Offshoots
I'm drawing a distinction between some of the FOLLOWERS (quietly trying to do godly things, helping others, praying) and those who rushed to the front to claim the microphone. We don't hear about the usual adherent anywhere because it's boring news- few want to hear about those who run soup kitchens and build houses, but they'd stop to hear about the corrupt "leader" who got caught. Those who pushed their way to the titles, IMHO, are in it for the titles. -

Back when lcm drove off 80% of twi in 88-89 with his "line in the sand", a fellow with the screen-name of Cesar Salad said he thought the biggest problem with lcm was that he wasn't able to get humble enough to "wash the apostles' feet" and so he wasn't fit for ministry work, since it was for HIS OWN glory and not for Jesus. It's no different for any other alleged "leader" that vpw trained, or vpw's machine trained. They all want to be the top dog- so all of them are UNWORTHY to be ministers. All of them want to be SERVED and not to SERVE. -
*slaps forehead* My brain kicked up the answer. This is "GLADIATOR." Haven't seen it, but the "are you not entertained" thing should have given me the answer.

I OBVIOUSLY have been running around a BIT too fast lately. George has no memory of this because it wasn't George this happened to- it was Mark Sanguinetti this happened to! I wonder how he's doing.

A number of titles either refer to part of the Batman mythos, or are significant references to the setting. "Last Laugh" is a Joker reference, "MLM" is a Harley reference, "Lovecraft" refers to the name of Arkham Asylum being from Lovecraft's work, "One Bad Day" is another Joker reference, as is "Ace Chemicals." "Pena Dura" is a Bane reference. "Azrael" is a recurring Bat family character. "The Narrows" is a place in Gotham. "Follow the White Rabbit" was a Mad Hatter and Alice episode, "the Mask" was a Black Mask episode. "A Legion of Horribles" referred to Indian HIll, and "Hog Day Afternoon" featured Professor Pyg, "The Balloonman" was an early episode. My favorite title for any episode was "One of My 3 Soups." Velaska, having escaped Haly's Circus as well as the law, went after his family. His uncle was expecting him. When Velaska arrived at his diner, the uncle had 3 bowls of soup out, and Velaska was SURE he was surprising his uncle. The uncle asked him to sit and talk before Velaska killed him. Then he explained about the 3 soups at the booth in which they sat. The uncle still loved gazpacho, so the soup that was "too cold" was for him. The soup that was "just right" was for their old partner in the circus, the strongman-who pinned Velaska into the booth. When I described this scene to Mrs Wolf, she jumped in with the rest of the explanation. "And the boiling-hot soup was for Velaska?" She got the hang of the setting long ago. Actually, that would have been it for Velaska- if Bruce hadn't arrived and stopped them from killing him (resulting, eventually, in a LARGE body count for Velaska later in the series.)

Someone once wrote a Jekyll-and-Hyde story where Holmes was hired to investigate. IIRC, the J-&-H story is now in the public domain, as is all the earlier stuff from ACD about Sherlock Holmes (basically, anything before Reichenbach Falls.)
-
Once you went to dinner, and a staffer there left a post-it on your shoulder-blade because he had asked to use your shoulder-blades in an experiment he was working on. That was when you ate at the Jekyll-and-Hyde Club. (The guy also considered using the bottom of my hair, as well.)
-
Yes. So glad I didn't have to abandon the round. :)

Here's the names of some of the episodes of this series. (It is a completed series.) "the Last Laugh" "Mommy's Little Monster" "A Legion of Horribles" "One of My 3 Soups" "Follow the White Rabbit" "Stop Hitting Yourself" "the Balloonman" "the Mask" "Lovecraft" "the Executioner" "All Will Be Judged" "Hog Day Afternoon" "One Bad Day" "Azrael" "They Who Hide Behind Masks" "A Day in the Narrows" "Pena Dura" "Ace Chemicals"
-
I made sure each of these specifically was credited as Jekyll- not all roles are played by the same actor, either as voice actors, or in older plays or movies. BTW, which one got you thinking- Malkovich?
-
No. Cheez, I hope you get this soon. I may leave in another minute. If I do, I'll miss your next guess.
-
It's Dr Henry Jekyll. I was about to ask George about his shoulder-blades to see if he got it.

No.. For that matter, I don't think ACD himself ever wrote about this character. There's an odd piece of trivia I'll mention at the end of the round, however (not that it would help in the guessing.)
-
I have trouble picturing that, too. However, there's a logical reason they both managed it despite looking so different. (No, there's not some cleverly-hidden clue there.) It's not Frankenstein, nor his monster,

One quote MENTIONED a Pontiac Firebird. I don't remember if any actually appeared in this movie, even in passing. It also was not a remake of a previous movie.
