  1. We are not going to fall for a banana in the tailpipe!
  2. "When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you."
  3. There's a few actresses I confuse for each other-this is one of them. So, is it "Charlise Theron"?
  4. Bob Seger also sang "AGAINST THE WIND."
  5. But that doesn't mean you won't find ANY. The key isn't the level of maturity, it's the level of interest. There's scholastic analyses of Harry Potter and Twilight based on the interest of the public. Anything CAN be studied. The twi phenomena can be studied from perspectives of Psychology, Sociology, cultural Anthropology, Advertising, and so on. Each can add something to the discussion-or all can be used in the analysis.
  6. "The Love Boat"? Ted Grandy became a Congressman, I recall.
  7. One Corps grad used that analogy with the goal seeming to be the "living-room". (Ever heard the phrase "living-room of God's Love" in twi? I did.) I thought it was just him, but in hindsight, it's pretty clear it wasn't and he was pretty unimaginative in general.
  8. That would indeed be a problem-if the OP had asked for that. They didn't ask for writings FROM twi, they asked for writings ABOUT twi. Big difference.
  9. Since I still think it's "Different Strokes", another clue would be appreciated.
  10. For that matter, not any other, either. This show, like Gotham, is outside the continuity of Arrow/Flash, but that doesn't mean either can't appear- Smallville was outside this continuity, as well. I remember reading some comment (years ago, in a comic) about losing a hero the world would miss. Someone suggested "Starman", and the reply was that only Opal City would miss him. Likewise, Starling/Star has the Arrow, and Central has the Flash. (And nobody's discussing Coast City.) Did anyone catch the reference to Commissioner Gordon on "the Flash"? Joe wanted to check on someone in Blackgate Prison (the Slab), so he called his old friend "Jimmy" to ask. :)
  11. Hey, George. Remember to indicate SPOILERS. I haven't seen the entire first episode, or any of the 2nd, yet. It's not like I'm giving spoilers from the latest Flash episode or anything.... (Wow, who expected Ronnie's return to look like that? I didn't.)
  12. This 1941 movie later had 4 sequels. (They all with the same actor- but not his father, also an actor, but already dead. That death freed this actor to begin an acting career). Lon Chaney Jr only began acting when his father died- Lon Chaney Sr, the "Man of a Thousand Faces." There were 4 sequels where LC Jr played Talbot again. Actors in it include Claude Rains, Patric Knowles, and Ralph Bellamy. It also included Bela Lugosi as "Bela." However, nobody ever seems to remember he was in this movie- most remember it for exactly one actor and Maria Ouspenskaya (who do not play "a couple" at any point, neither in this movie nor real life.) It was written by Curt Siodmak. Bela is the gypsy who's a werewolf at the beginning, who infects Talbot with the curse. Maria Ouspenskaya says the often-quoted line about the wolfsbane blooming. It also had a remake in 2010 with some recognizable actors. Benicio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt. "The way you walked was thorny though no fault of your own, but as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea, so tears run to a predestined end." The second-most memorable lines. Maleva, the gypsy, says them to both Bela and Talbot when both are killed by silver. Concerning the main actor, whom I have not named, I have read the following story, which I will relate using his birth-name. According to the story, Creighton Tull C. was born stillborn in a cabin. His father grabbed him, ran to the ice, smashed a hole, and momentarily plunged his son into the freezing waters, which revived him. Lon Chaney Jr's legal name was Creighton Tull Chaney.
  13. *thinks* *thinks some more* "Different Strokes"????

  15. "Henry - In the name of God!" "Oh, in the name of God! Now I know what it feels like to be God!" "Dangerous? Poor old Waldman. Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if no one tried to find out what lies beyond? Have your never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars, or to know what causes the trees to bud? And what changes the darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people call you crazy. Well, if I could discover just one of these things, what eternity is, for example, I wouldn't care if they did think I was crazy."

  19. That's it. And I must say, this is one of my all-time favorite short stories from television:
  20. There's been multiple versions of this show. One was hosted by Forrest Whitaker. A different version was black-and-white. And we've all seen at least an episode or 2, if we grew up in the US (probably if we didn't, also.)
  21. I should have figured out Austin Powers' dad. Then again, I wasn't a big fan of that series.
  22. This was obviously "Wayne's World." Oddly enough, the other day, I was multi-tasking and watching the video from the "Wayne's World" vcr game. The game was described as uninspired and uninteresting. Judging from the video, that's probably correct. So, this was on my mind.
  23. Alicia Silverstone the Crush Cary Elwes
