FREE POST! I'm blanking, and having enough trouble remembering to update the other thread as we get ready for Thanksgiving.

I linked out with PHIL SILVERS. I thought you guys would have a chance to link him- I can link him if nobody else can (another movie with a long name and MANY actors.) The second time I used the Producers, I used it in the middle, and linked out to WILL FARRELL. I figured he could be linked easily enough since he's been in more than a few movies. The third time was now, with George linking to the ORIGINAL movie, with only one cast member in common between them (Mel Brooks in a voice role.)

*thinks* Hey, I can link this guy! Zero Mostel A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum Phil Silvers

I'm familiar with Guy Smiley. I know something about Guy Ritchie, Family Guy and the Cable Guy. I've never heard of this movie. Then again, I've gotten worse with movies over the years, and I don't see the same commercials you do, so that problem multiplies.

Other than Keanu, who would possibly know anybody else from... wait, I know! Jane Wiedlin (Joan of Arc) Clue (singing telegram) Madeline Kahn ("Mrs White") (Or, I could have gone with Rufus, now that I had a moment...)

"Johnny English?" No, he was British and the 2 guys don't pass for British. Some American or Americans who "SOLVE A CRIME." Not "save the day" (action heroes), but SOLVE A CRIME. A DETECTIVE (or detectiveS), Police, FBI, Federal Marshall, something like that.

Next movie. "There is nothing more elusive than an obvious fact." "Whatever he was working on, he obviously succeeded." "How do you know?" "Otherwise, he'd still be alive."

Here's what I have, conjecture and reasoning and clues. We start with 2 obvious heroes, who you expect to get the job done, (Speculation) played by Sam Jackson and "the Rock" (Dwayne Johnson.) Their characters are bumped off early in the movie. The titular character or characters (titular is speculation) are the ones who step in sometime after that happens, and obviously become the focus of the story. Ok which movies COULD it be? Has to be one with titular characters (at least one.) So, not "Get Smart" because he's not called "GET". (Names in other countries for this movie won't count, as this is an English language movie-or Raf would have said SOMETHING.) Considering all that, the time-frame, and movies I haven't seen (almost all of them), that leaves a wild guess. Is this "THE LOSERS"?

That's him. I skipped all the ones that were recognized last time I tried Leo. Amazing how he played so many roles, but I think the only ones I'd recognize were Romeo Montague, Frank Abegnale Jr ("Catch Me If You Can"), Jack Dawson ("Titanic") and Jay ('the Great") Gatsby. And I've never seen that last one. :)

*thinks* There was a second issue of that? I had the first, but never saw a second! You're talking about "Sledge Hammer!" The first issue was a Halloween one. Sledge opened the comic by "decorating it" himself- one bullet into the side to blow a huge chunk out of it. (At the end of the comic, it was destroyed in a fire, which upset him.) It featured "Satana"- and this "Satana" was an Elvira expy and not related to any other character of the same name. (BTW, the cover and the splash page both had Sledge saying "Don't worry- I know what I'm doing.") They thought that rated a second issue? Marvel made a lot of one-shots back then- I thought this was just one more.

Ok, next actor. Mason Capwell Garry Buckman Luke Brower Tobias Wolff Jim Carroll Arthur Rimbaud Brandon Darrow Amsterdam Vallon Danny Archer Roger Ferris Frank Wheeler Dominick "Dom" Cobb

So, it's still George's turn.

I wish I could say that first clue gave me a name, but I'm hoping for another clue at this point.

All right. All kidding aside, I'm reasonably sure this is "HOOK."

Oh. When in the world was I looking up ANN MARGARET's roles?

Not even a substitute?

I know I've seen some of these names. I remember thinking the name "Ariel Truax" reminded me of a kid's book called "Truax", but I forget who played her. Blanche Dubois. IIRC, is from "A Streetcar Named Desire", as well as any actress/actor conveying that role. (Woody Allen's Miles Monroe (the Sleeper) once thought he was her when he they tried to reverse the brainwashing already done on him.

If, as a Durlan, she was actually BORN in the US (genetically Durlan, of Durlan parents, but born there), then she would be eligible to be US President. Apparently, that was not the case. I remember a comic story, a Superman Annual during "Armageddon 2001", which looked to the future from then-present 1991 to 2001 (which all the "Armageddon 2001" stories did, for one character or another or many). (This was during the "Man of Steel" continuity done just after Crisis in Infinite Earths, and not the Golden Age "Kal-El was a baby on Krypton" nor the "Birthright/Smallville" continuity which came later.) When Clark saved Presidential candidate Pete Ross' life, Pete was still injured and unable to continue campaigning. He urged Clark to run, which he did. Lex began yelling at his TV about the now-revealed Superman (who deflected assassin bullets on national TV) being ineligible to be President because he was an alien. STAR Labs began an extensive analysis of the vehicle that brought Kal-El to Earth. It wasn't a spaceship. As was said in "Man of Steel" #1, it was a birthing matrix that Jor-El attached an engine to. The scientists said that, technically, he was conceived on Krypton, but was not BORN until he exited the birthing matrix, which happened in Kansas. http://headhuntersholosuite.wikia.com/wiki/Kryptonian_birthing_matrix http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Kryptonian_Birthing_Matrix Newspaper headline: "Born in the USA!" So, unless she was either born on US soil, or born to at least one US citizen who spent at least 5 years in the US before she was born, the Durlan chick should not be eligible to be a US citizen until she passes naturalization- citizenship tests, etc. A US President must either be born a US citizen (not naturalized), be a US citizen at the time of the adoption of the US Constitution (possible if she's actually more than 200 years old), or be a serving elected officer who becomes President due to one or more vacancies in the US government. (If she was Vice-President and the President had to leave office, she would become President legally. If Gerald Ford had remained Speaker of the House when VP Spiro Agnew left office, and when Nixon resigned/was impeached, then Ford would have gone from Speaker to President due to the order of succession. (He went from Speaker to VP when Agnew left, the President when Nixon left, thus becoming the only US Presiden never elected to President or VP, AFAIK.) So, legally, that's all the options. Sounds like she had none of those options. If she really WAS that old, and she claimed to be her visible age, that's Fraud and some other things, because she never said "No, I've been a US citizen all this time. Look my Driver's License says I was born in 1742" or something. That would have gotten a lot of attention. Seriously. Her inability to produce a modern Birth Certificate would have been a big deal- and if she had produced a fraud, that would have been a BIGGER deal. Unless, of course, Earth-29's US doesn't really resemble our Earth any more than Gotham's Earth does- and, frankly, I find Gotham's Earth feels closer (Black Lightning, also, for that matter.)

Ok, I'm behind on almost everything. I'm up on Flash and LoT (as is Mrs Wolf.) She's not watching the others. I'm finishing the previous season of Arrow now, and will continue until I watch the current episode. (I'm averaging 2 episodes a week.) Black Lightning will be the next show I watch that way, followed by Supergirl. I'm sure that it's a total coincidence that all the good white guys are either written out or introduced as black. I'm sure that it's a coincidence that the black guys get to stay on as regular characters. I'm sure that it;s a total coincidence that we get white guy villains all the time in this show. I'm sure it's a total coincidence that any character with a hint of conservatism or even centrism is a bad guy. Seriously, I'm shocked J'onn was allowed to stay. I thought we were going to have Brainy as a cameo character who did tech and all male superheroes would be banished now that they had the chance. We're glad LoT isn't just depressing stuff with Damien D making everything gloomy and hopeless. I'm FINE if it gets funny. Arrow certainly got TOO gloomy, which is why I took some time off, and she just stopped watching. Having Constantine added to LoT makes a lot of sense. And if he keeps needing recipe ingredients, this could be funny here and there. I'd forgotten that Iris had that XS costume from when she was Flash for 5 minutes once.

I have no doubts his Social Security is tiny. And his twi payoff deal is what he's living off (as in, $zero rent and either someone else buys the groceries or he's getting cash for it. )
