"Listen, Gottlieb, nix on the love making. Besides, I saw Mrs. Claypool first. Of course, her mother really saw her first but there's no point in bringing the Civil War into this." "Never in my life have I received such treatment. They threw an apple at me." "Well. Watermelons are out of season." "I've been sitting right here since 7 o'clock." "Yes, with your back to me. When I invite a woman to dinner, I expect her to look at my face. That's the price she has to pay." "Let joy be unconfined. Let there be dancing in the streets, drinking in the saloons, and necking in the parlour. Play, Don." "Do you have everything, Otis?" "I haven't had any complaints yet!" ""You live here all alone?" "Yes. Just me and my memories. I'm practically a hermit." "Oh. A hermit. I notice the table's set for four." "That's nothing - my alarm clock is set for eight. That doesn't prove a thing." ""That woman? Do you know why I sat with her? Because she reminded me of you." "Really?" "Of course, that's why I'm sitting here with you. Because you remind me of you. Your eyes, your throat, your lips! Everything about you reminds me of you. Except you. How do you account for that? If she figures that one out, she's good." "So now I tell you how we fly to America. The first time we started we got-a half way there when we run out a gasoline, and we gotta go back. Then I take-a twice as much gasoline. This time we're just about to land, maybe three feet, when what do you think: we run out of gasoline again. And-a back-a we go again to get-a more gas. This time I take-a plenty gas. Well, we get-a half way over, when what do you think happens: we forgot-a the airplane. So, we gotta sit down and we talk it over. Then I get-a the great idea. We no take-a gasoline, we no take-a the airplane. We take steamship, and that, friends, is how we fly across the ocean. " "Do you know America is waiting to hear him sing?" "Well, he can sing loud, but he can't sing that loud." "Well, I think I can get America to meet him halfway."

Obviously something of which I've never seen a single episode. Is it "Leverage"?

The Penguin had a device that removed all the water from a person. He dehydrated his piratey henchmen, and CAREFULLY collected the powder. The scene ended while he said "Careful, careful- every one of them has a mother" while they collected all the powder. The scene arriving at the dock for the Batboat is sometimes skipped. La Lanne was on a roof with some women. "Jack LaLanne has a cameo as a man on a rooftop with bikini-clad women." (Nice work if you can get it, I suppose.) Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth was once Alfred Beagle (and fat with no moustache.) After Alan Napier took the role, he went on a diet and grew a moustache. Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot was one of the villains ripped off of Dick Tracy. http://dicktracy.wikia.com/wiki/Broadway_Bates They had some fun in the comic strip with this, saying his brother Oswald worked out of a different town and that's where Bates was working for some time. Bates returned, only to run afoul of a dark knight ("Cinnamon Knight") and a colorful assistant ("Willa Scarlett"). Commissioner James WORTHINGTON Gordon looks nothing like the actor, however.

I didn't realize I had 2 sets of clues. Whoops.

I'll stay out of this after pointing out that both of you are approaching this from conflicting ideas of "Doctrinal." I don't think you'll agree because there's no common ground to agree FROM. So, I don't think this will get anywhere.

Let's look at the clues George just solved. It's not stated in the movie, but it's thought the bulk of the story took place in New Jersey. Gotham City's believed to be in Jersey, and has appeared in maps as in Jersey. The Spanish-language version of this movie included characters named Bruno Diaz and Ricardo Tapia Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson were rendered with those names, for some reasons. Alfred was Alfred. Someone parodied Nikita Krushchev's famous "bang the shoe at the UN" moment in this movie. The fake UN scene. A Chrysler Imperial and a Lincoln Futura prototype both appear in this movie. Bruce Wayne's car and the Batmobile. A former Miss America appeared in the cast. Lee Meriwether as Catwoman. References to Robert Louis Stevenson's novels were snuck into the movie, but not into the dialogue. The name of the bar, the location of the kidnapping, was one book title. His next book was called "Kidnapped." This movie was NOT distributed by Warner Brothers (making it peculiar). It's the ONLY Batman movie Warner didn't distribute. Once you've seen the scene where "Bringing in the Sheaves" is played, it's hard not to have the song stuck in your head whenever thinking about that scene. That expy of the Salvation Army, while Batman ran around with the bomb. Characters in this movie include: President Lyndon B. Johnson, Kitayna Ireyna Tatanya Kerenska Alisoff, and bit characters named Bluebeard, Morgan and Quetch. Van Williams did the voice of LBJ. Catwoman was disguised as "Ms Kitka." Penguin's mooks had a pirate motif. Reginald Denny played his last role in this film, as Commodore Schmidlapp. He was kidnapped and Penguin impersonated him, IIRC. Not many films include a motorcycle WITH a sidecar- but this is one of them. Introducing the Batcycle- a motorcycle with a sidecar (for Robin.) Later, in the TV show, Batman attached Alfred's bike to it, and was able to ferry "the Alf-cycle" to him when getting to the Bat-cycle. BTW, in Argentina, the word for sidecar is "sidecar"- pronounced "sid-eh-cahr." Same spelling, but nobody pronounced it to them, so they pronounced it as if it was written in Spanish.

That's it.

Right- someone needed to reset the server. So nobody COULD post until they did. Once they did, we resumed posting. A few days into THAT, you posted how nobody was posting (although they'd posted the day before you'd started the thread as well as the same day.) So, the pause was because we were UNABLE to post, and we resumed once we were able.

When we had people insulting each other, and people who came here to castigate us for refusing to fall prostrate before wierwille's asinine personage and practices, it was a LOT busier. I remember the opening episodes of the original "Melrose Place" were slice-of-life, but people found it more exciting once they started up the soap opera business and throwing people into the pool. (I liked the first few episodes, and lost interest after that.)

If you'd scrolled down to the Games forum, you'd have found posts the day before you started the thread, as well as posts from the same day.

Picture "Bringing in the Sheaves." Now stop picturing it being SUNG and picture it being PLAYED. Now picture the scene around it. One line should spring to mind. What movie are you seeing?

Some prints of this movie omit the final line from a scene- one of my favorite lines from the movie- "Every one of them has a mother." There's some prints that leave out part of the scene where 2 of the characters reach a boat. What was Jack La Lanne doing in this movie? Some of the characters have odd histories. One had a last name of "Beagle" before it was rewritten into the now-familiar last name (and middle names "Thaddeus Crane"). Another was visually based on the comic strip character "Broadway Bates." (With a middle name of "Chesterfield.") Another has the middle name "Worthington." (None of the middle names appeared in the movie.)

Ok, caught part of an episode of Titans. Apparently, it's another gritty show. Man, DC seems to have 2 flavors right now: extreme grit and violence, and extreme left-wing. And then there's this season of LOT, which actually has some light stuff in-between some grit and some left-wing. I hope Flash lightens up a bit more, it was drifting into Arrow territory.

I'm working my way through BL, and Titans is next. I'll mention when I catch up on BL and start Titans. Gotham is back? Thanks, keep me posted on when seasons begin.

For the curious, we finished the episodes to date of "Flash" and "Legends of Tomorrow." I finished "Arrow", and am working through "Black Lightning", with "Titans" and "Supergirl" to watch afterwards. The mid-season for LOT was a lot of fun. For the record, I think "POT" could totally work as a kids show. It was even educational- we had someone teaching history, and someone teaching math and science.

True. For those who did not say (most of the posters who left), we won't know PRECISELY for sure. I still consider their numbers, as a whole, as success stories. They got what they needed from here, and moved on with their lives. They "took their revenge" on twi by living well. :)

Oops. Hope everyone had a happy holiday. Ok, let me think of something....

Ah, she's a former poster who left because of people complaining. Well, she is free to do that. Nobody's required to agree with you or to disagree with you. We would, however, like to understand what you're trying to say. This is yet another request for you to make an effort to focus on one of your points and make it clearly. Or, at least clearly state what you were trying to communicate even if you don't include the rationale or support for your position.

I agree that those are all reasons the GSC has fewer posters. However, a few posters have posted that they were leaving specifically because this place was too argumentative and so on. I'm prepared to take their words on why they took off.

My actual answer.... With both of them mindful of how the other worked, I thought that Ollie was trying to be more like Barry and just ACT. Also, I thought that Barry (being Barry) wouldn't actually put remote launchers in place. Then again, he WAS trying to be more like Ollie.

The "Smallville" theme was cute. BTW, I almost never watched that show, but I recognized the theme instantly. I apparently didn't have the audio up enough to make out Gotham music. It was announced that the intention was to get a lesbian actress to play this lesbian character. For the sake of discussion, supposing that was a sensible reason to cast, the absence of a process was offensive. Really, with all the lesbian actresses out there, this was the one they chose for the role? She was ill-suited for it other than "She's a lesbian? Ok, she's hired. We don't need to do an audition or anything." Also, let's keep up on our terms. She more recently announced herself "gender-fluid." When her gender switches to male, then she's heterosexual. By the "logic" used to cast her, she should be rejected because she's not a lesbian part of the time. If I were gay and looking to see gays playing gays, I'd be offended at the suggestion that this poor fit was the best they could do. Then again, who cares what I think? I don't imagine there's anything left to say on that one. Moving on.... I caught the name "IVO" immediately. Cute that MIRAKURU came up with this Ivo just as in Earth-One, when his ship, "the Amazo", was at Liang-Yu, housing mirakuru experiments. Mrs Wolf also pointed out that J'onn around would have made the fight unmanageable. Shapechanging, phasing, invisibility, mind-reading.... I have trouble picturing a TV still working but unable to render the names. Ok, let's see..... Room 341, O. Cobblepot, Room 342, P. Isley, Room 343, B. Karlo, Room 344 E. Nigma (has a riddle scrawled to its right), Room 345 M. Guggenheim, then Deegan's "office." Yes, John was obvjously a GL on Earth-90, whether as Diggle or Stewart (just as Jay Garrick's Earth-1 counterpart wasn't Jay Garrick.) The AMAZO fight was needed for the audience's sake. It also looked cooler than a strict depiction of the original Amazo in the comic books. Later versions had him look more robotic. Yes, the "scan to copy" thing made a lot of sense and looked cool. The only description Flash-90 gave of CoIE was that the Monitor's predicting a crisis, and thinks the Elseworlds "approximates the collision of realities we are facing." So, Earths will collide, and the Monitor thinks that their collisions will warp what's going on in the Earths that collide, resulting in status quo changes, some of them radical. I'm suspicious this will be a lot of build-up, and the results will be less than epic. I don't think they have a cast big enough to begin this, nor enough heavy-hitters, nor will they devote enough episodes to really develop the story. (I liked "Invasion!" but it fell FAR short of the "Invasion!" comic book storyline- and THAT felt rushed with everything happening.

One does not have to agree with something to understand it, and it's not impossible to fairly represent something with which you disagree. Naturally, I think I'm in the minority on that, but, as we see, I'm not the only one who says that. (Even when we disagree on other things. Then again, who agrees on EVERY thing?)
