  1. There's virtually nothing of this musical I'd recognize (a snippet off one song), but this is apparently "RENT." It's not a musical about an old, torn garment.
  2. Some actors feel differently about how seriously to take their performances. In LotR-the Two Towers, there's a moment where Aragorn thinks the hobbits were killed. He kicks a helmet in frustration, and screams in anger. When VM kicked the helmet, he fractured a toe-the scream was very authentic. Actors add a lot to their roles when they take a real injury-the reactions are authentic. In other news, this was "the Fugitive", as you know.
  3. "I didn't kill my wife!" "I don't care!"
  4. Forgot about this thread. When Episode 1 came out, I didn't see it in the theaters. I saw it on VHS first. So, I figured on seeing this on DVD first-which I did. And missed Episode 1. With Episode 1, I had TWO complaints, both George Lucas missteps. A) Jar-Jar Binks. A little of him is survivable. Lucas put him in quite a bit. B) Anakin Skywalker's age had about a decade dropped from it. Lucas said he wanted kids to be able to identify with it. I was a kid when Episode 4 came out and I had no problems identifying with it. (And now his back-story had lots of inconsistent timeline gaffes because he wanted to be clever.) With Episode 7, I hardly know where to start. My comments seem to be 2 categories: 1) Almost all of this recapitulated Episode 4. 2) A lot of the plot devices were used in the Expanded Universe-and were better in the books! The "it's a remake of Episode 4" was addressed fairly well here: http://www.supertreegnome.com/6-ways-the-force-awakens-is-a-worse-star-wars-movie-than-phantom-menace-censored.html

  7. Right. Roles played, name the role-ee. Right. You're 2 for 2! Indicates one actor/actress either changed gender and kept acting, or one actor/actress played both male and female roles, like Robin Williams playing Mrs Doubtfire. Ok. It's one actor/actress who hasn't changed gender-they played at least 1 role that didn't match their gender.
  8. "Dogma"? No, Metatron said it ONCE, not TWICE, IIRC. Must be the original KK, with Miyagi and not Han.
  9. I smirked, and I may have snorted slightly-I was in a hurry when I read that.

  11. Since everyone's been so sharp lately on this thread, I was hoping for a moment of confusion. George thought the "Pat" I mentioned was "It's Pat", but that's a different Pat. Actually, I'm less a fan of THAT Pat as I am of this one (at least a little.) I'll add more names this evening. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves in the meantime.

  13. It is, and he did. Wasn't in the script, either. Pacino claimed someone in the crew suggested he say it.
  14. Numbers in movie titles can be inconsistent from place to place, also. Here, all the Star Trek movies have a number reference in the movies, at least thru the reboot.
  15. Didn't recognize Walter Blunt, but I had a vague recollection of Picard invoking Captain Ahab, and having Patrick Stewart play him later. And he played King Richard in "Robin Hood-Men in Tights."
  16. And now she does voice-acting? Hollywood is strange.
  17. It was Rita Moreno. (Once you tried, it was the obvious actress.) The children's show "the Electric Company" traditionally begins with the "Hey, you guys!" yell. And Rita Moreno's voice was recognizable as the yeller all through the 70s. "Anita" was the role she played in "West Side Story." She's been in a LOT of roles, although the roles are usually not remembered by name.
  18. Hey, you guys! Unlike Frank Nelson, you know HER name.... She's an award-winner, come on... Carmen Sandiego Sister Peter Marie Reimondo Violet Newstead Lucy Chambers Liliana de la Vega Dori Newman Amalia Duque Frances Goren Luisa Diaz Anita Rita Capkovic Rita Ramirez Gladys Gordon Kimberly Baskin Congresswoman Madelyn Woods Luisa Diaz
  19. How many of those can you actually NAME? Especially ones with long enough careers to win all those awards and be a household name?
  20. I didn't consult him at all. However, I think his "problem" with what you posted was what he said. He claimed that he had to get through "vitriolic spew you start off with" to get to your point. Perhaps that's overstating the case, but your first paragraph really DID go off on a tear with the colorful language you used to describe vpw's felonies and misdemeanors. It was a bit of work to get through it- and that's coming from someone who agreed with every word but might not have piled all of them together in that particular post. It's one thing to be antagonistic towards vpw who did all those things. It's another to be antagonistic towards other posters. I don't fault you for having strong feelings but the people who disagree with you have them also, and there's no need to descend into name-calling (from anyone.) You're an adult and can choose to dial it back a bit whenever you want.
