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. )

If you didn't want us to mention it, why bring it up? *runs*

Went to try to double-check the correct spelling on the robot's name change, let my mind wander, then hit "submit" before the site logged me out for inactivity. I forgot one last answer. -Right. RD Jr was in a bad place in his life, and had a lot of drugs in his car, and a Burger King cheeseburger. Between drugs or something, he tried to eat the cheeseburger, and his system just kicked it back- he thought it was the worst burger he'd ever eaten- and the next instant had a realization, and dumped out all the drugs, then got his life back together. When Happy and Pepper picked him up, he said he wanted 2 things. "I want an American cheeseburger, and--" "I know what else you want." "It's not what you think- I want a press conference." (That's from memory and I may have the EXACT wording wrong but that's the essence of the exchange.) At the press conference, we see him with a takeout bag of Burger King, and see him eating a BK burger. When I was working out the clue, I was thinking about the product, not that I was giving away that an actor was down and got back up- which limits the actor to those who did both, and neither stayed together nor crashed without recovery. BK was doing Iron Man promos while the movie was in the theater (no surprise there.) Personally, I thought it was odd to have conspicuous product placement of AUDI, since Stark seemed to be more a "buy American" type in this movie. Then again, we see him with Bvlgari watches in the sequel.

So, the other clues... -Stark's plane was the Boeing, and, apparently, he tinkered with it. In a deleted scene, we find out he's installed a small lounge in it, with a retractable stripper pole. (Well, what's the fun in having all that money if you don't enjoy spending it once in a while?) -Around the middle of the movie, while JARVIS was working on the red-and-gold armor, Stark crashed his own charity event. He and Pepper stepped out onto the terrace, and had an awkward moment. He went back in to get them drinks. He ordered 2 martinis, dropped a big tip, specified to make one of them "dirty", extra olives, extra quick. Then Everheart showed up again, with photos of the Jericho missile in terrorist hands. Stark stormed out without seeing Pepper again- which she mentioned at the end of the movie. -One character.... At some point in the trilogy, we saw the robot he built in college or something. That's the robot "Dummy"- the robot on fire safety who kept shooting him with CO2 foam or something. In the third movie credits, the spelling of the name changed to "DUM-E"

Ok, couldn't wait, I can get that. :) CORRECT on the movie. "Agent" became "Agent Coulson." You correctly identified the 2-hour worker. I'm not sure WHAT the prop was made out of, but it WAS the IM suit. I didn't think the product placement clue would be the giveaway, but apparently it was. The movie really exceeded expectations and changed all the rules. Marvel went from circling the drain to VERY profitable, and now there's lots of superhero movies, some of them good.

So that's what that feels like..... Let's see if anyone else got it, and give them a few hours to log in, of course. BTW, the kid in "the Shining" didn't know what he was working on, either. :)

(When logged in, go to the post you want to quote and click the "quote" button at the bottom, like I just did.) I've heard that his peers in the Way Corps didn't buy into him being special- and he resented that. I think my comment about NOSTALGIA propping him up (temporarily) goes along with what you said about a (small) group of people who liked him (people on the field, who didn't know him beyond his official face.) So, yes, OLD wayfers who refuse to move on, OLD wayfers with no group to work with, stuck in the past, living off nostalgia of "the good old days", afraid even to embrace newer technologies as they refuse to embrace other Christians. That appeals to a small, ever-shrinking group with no hope of recruiting new people. That's a self-correcting problem over the long run. Imagine the "appeal" of a static-filled phone hookup to a teenager from now. It's sad if he hasn't learned any important life lessons of maturity or humility or even repentance, but there you go. BTW, you might see my post as "angry" because you're angry. I have less anger for lcm- who was completely duped by vpw, who ruined lcm for any honest work and warped his thinking- than I do for vpw himself who did such things..... and I don't actually ever feel anger for vpw despite his rapes, druggings, frauds, plagiarisms, charlatanisms, and so on. Then again, I can coldly post in brutal honesty- like calmly discussing how many women vpw drugged before molesting or raping versus how many he just molested or raped while they were conscious.

Next movie. -The plane used in the movie was a Boeing 737-800, visibly modified. -If you swap out the vermouth for olive brine, you make a "dirty" martini, for those who were curious and didn't know. -A character was named in this movie and appeared in sequels. The SPELLING of his name, however, changes in a later movie. -One actor's role expanded- and he got an actual name rather than a title- because the actor worked well with the others. -One actor got to work for about 2 hours for his work on the entire film, but the editing and other work make it look like he was a LOT busier. In fact, he said he wasn't sure exactly WHAT movie he was working on at the time. -One important prop was made up of about 450 separate pieces. It weighed 90 pounds. -One conspicuous product placement was very appropriate. The lead actor had credited them once with helping him turn his life around (sorta.) So, having them appear at a moment in the movie where that may have been said to happen may have been thought of as a nod to the actor. -This particular film changed a lot- both for the Studio, and its parent company, and for movie-going afterwards, actually.

I'm pretty sure this was a female. I'm not triggering recognition of these names, although some sound familiar.

She WAS the female lead, and she DID have better rhythm and more training than lcm, so of course you gravitated towards that. It's obvious in hindsight that a group that strains at gnats should have figured out all the stage-time on devils and the superior dance skills on that side would end up as a promotional. lcm was too busy orchestrating new ways to have everyone pat him on the back to think of the consequences. (Really- there was a moment where everyone was patting him on the back. I even freeze-framed on it once. Raf pointed it out at the time.)

Presuming it's true (even if unverified), is that with an organization, or are people really signing up for a phone hookup with him specifically? What I said once still applies if this is all true- since he'd still be the same guy doing this. That is, his research skills are weak, and his understanding sub-standard. His manner is ABRASIVE. So, it's hard to get converts when people just want you to shut up. People didn't line up to hear him teach because he was great- they did so because he was twi's head cheese and that conferred authority on him. The only thing left if some group sn't propping him up is NOSTALGIA- and that's a TEMPORARY bump. People in their 50s and up, and not many of them. Just as people age out of twi, they'll age out of his hookups if only by dying of old age. For that matter, phone hookups are so 20th century. If lcm's doing this, it's like trying to recreate vpw's success by appealing to hippie vibe NOW.
