No. Nothing that recent or that short.

Really old anime cartoons. Identify any to take the round. 1) "There's a prehistoric monster That came from outer space Created by the Martians To destroy the human race. The FBI is helpless, It's twenty stories tall. What can we do? Who can we call?" "Faster than a rocket. Quicker than a jet. He's the mighty robot. He's the one to get." 2) The main character, named Mighty Atom in the Japanese version but not the US version, was "a robot created and modeled upon Dr. Boynton's late son, Astor Boynton." 3) The main character was not a robot. This youngster wore a special suit for undersea operations, and chewed a special gum that allowed him to breathe underwater. He also wielded a special boomerang.

"Anybody can fly a plane, now here: I'll check you out. Put your little hands on the wheel there. Now put your feet on the rudder. There. Who says this ol' boy can't fly this ol' plane? Now I'm gonna make us some Old Fashioneds the old-fashioned way - the way dear old Dad used to!" "What if something happens?" "What could happen to an Old Fashioned?" "If you can, give us your position. Who is flying the plane?" "What do you mean 'who's flying the plane'? Nobody's flying the plane!" "We're the ones with the Imperial, and we're running last?" "Then what happens next? I'll tell you what happens: Then they all decide that I'm supposed to get a smaller share! That I'm somebody extra special stupid, or something! That they don't even care if it's a democracy! And in a democracy, it don't matter how stupid you are, you still get an equal share!" "1: I wish I knew what they're going to do to us. But no matter what happens to us... what happens to you, I hope will be worse!" 2: "I don't think you have to worry too much about that. My wife is divorcing me, my mother-in-law is suing me for damages, my daughter is applying to the courts to have her name changed, my pension has been revoked. And the only reason that you 10 idiots will very LIKELY get off LIGHTLY, is because the judge will have me up there to throw the book at!" 3: "Oh, that's tough. Oh ho ho ho." 2: "I'd like to think that sometime, maybe 10 or 20 years from now, there'd be something I could laugh at... Anything." "Look! We've figured it seventeen different ways, and every time we figured it, it was no good, because no matter how we figured it, somebody don't like the way we figured it! So now, there's only one way to figure it. And that is, every man, including the old bag, for himself!" "So good luck, and may the best man win!" "Right! Except you,lady. May you just drop dead!" "All right, all right, we all agree on that. Now look, let's be sensible about this thing. There's money in this for all of us. Right? There's enough for you, there's enough for you, and for me, and for you, and there's enough for... " 2. "Now for the last time. Are we calling Sylvester or not?" 3. "No! We are not! And I'll tell you why not. Because your son Sylvester is an irresponsible, unreliable, big loudmouth no good bum! Who if he isn't a crook? It's because he doesn't have the brains or ambition even to become a crook!" 4. "I say! Good show!" 1."Mama, who's with you? Where are you talking to me... Where are you?" 2."I'm with this truck driver at Peterson's Garage in a place called Plaster City. And will you just shut up a minute so I can tell you what happened?" 1."Now listen, Mommy, you listen to me close. You stay right there, because I'm coming, Mom. I'm coming to get you right now, Mom." 2."Will you SHUT UP AND LISTEN?" 1."Mama, it's all right. Everything's gonna be all right, Mama. Your baby's coming to get ya. You just sit there. Sit there, relax, take it easy." 2."Sylvester..." 1."I'm coming to get you, Mom!" 2."... shut up and let me talk..." 1. "Everything is gonna be all right!" 3. "Well?" 2."So he's coming here. And I'm not to worry about a thing, because 'everything is going to be all right!' Exactly like your father: a big, stupid, muscle-headed moron!" "Ginger, I want you to prepare yourself for a little shock. When I tell you what happened..." "So, tell me, tell me. I've got this biscuit dough..." "The Smiler Grogan case is solved!" "The WHAT? Now, what the hell is the Smiler Grogan case?" "The tuna factory robbery! The case I've been talking about for the last fifteen years!" "Look, why don't we just start digging for it?" "Well, suppose someone comes along? What do we tell them?" "Well, we could tell them that we're here on an archeological expedition." "Aah!" "We don't tell them anything. We tell them to hit the road or we beat their brains in!" "Will you take us to Santa Rosita state park?" "What's the matter, what happened to you? What was ya, in some kind of initiation?" "We had an accident. We fell into yellow, all right? Hurry up!" "Now, where have I always told ya that the Smiler hid the dough? Where? Right there!" "It's only a possibility now, it's only a possibility that this man was telling the truth. And if it was the truth, then it is a fact that this place is almost 200 miles away. Now I suggest that we quietly get into our cars and drive down there at a safe, sound speed, keeping each other in sight of each other. And then when we get down there, we dig up the money - providing there is some money there. And if we do find it, we share it amongst us in a simple manner."

Ok, I'll dump this one, since nobody's biting. "BATTLE OF THE PLANETS." "ROBOTECH." "STAR BLAZERS." Each was actually fairly famous in the US and elsewhere, and there's fans of all 3 still around. In fact, there was a live-action film of the third, and comic books and re-airings of "Battle of the Planets". The re-airings were more direct translations, and called "G-Force." Without the robot 7-Zark-7 narrating, the stories were harder to follow.

Now I'm wondering if I've ever heard of this movie.

F/X Brian Dennehy Presumed Innocent

My experience has been different. While many won't expect you to have one out during a service, they may have meetings where it is EXPECTED. (I was quite shocked when I saw Roman Catholics doing that.)

There was an episode tonight? *checks* So there was. Give us 48 hours on this one.

Early Winona Ryder movie that I'm unfamiliar with.... "Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichel"?

An actual click on the first one shows it bears little resemblance to the mindset of any twi offshoot. Gee, someone besides ex-twi thinks studying the Bible's to be recommended- who would imagine? Didn't we have a monopoly on that? That's what I was led to believe when I was young and naive...

Then you got my "Gigantor" round based on an obscure 1960s cartoon you never saw? That's fantastic! Then each of these in this round should be a piece of cake!

These were not obscure shows, but all were 70s or 80s in their US airings, initially. And they have all had comic-book adaptationS, as in more than one. I'll try a little more before giving up. A round about adopted anime that aired in the US decades ago. Answer any to take the round. 1) This cartoon about a 5-member team of space ninjas was censored to drop a lot of violence, and one character picked up a weird twittering stutter that covered the chronic cursing he did when it was time to do the dubbing into English. The art in the final version was done in 2 styles, since there was the original, and the adaptation added exposition and robot narrator, and did that in a noticeably different style. They also added a scene they used ad nauseum of the characters when not at work. (The US audience wouldn't have accepted their day-jobs as acceptable fare for a "kids" show like all cartoons supposedly are.) That having been said, one scene was still left into an episode, where the team leader was loafing in an office, was summoned, and ran to a propeller plane, launching it into the sky before transmuting it into a jet. Nobody ever addressed the obvious question as to where he was. The original name translates into "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman." 2) This cartoon was adapted from 3 different cartoons and mashed into one long story with 3 different story arcs down the decades, each one succeeding the previous ones. A fanzine specifically for their fans started up, called "Protoculture Addicts," fans of the series and the Super-Dimensional Fortress I. I'm sure Harmony Gold was happy with their success with the anime outside of Japan. (Me, I actually read some of the novels based on some of the stories, up to and including "Southern Cross.") The original shows were "Super-dimensional Fortress Macross," "Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross," and "Genesis Climber MOSPEADA" before they were stitched together as one show. 3) This cartoon's first season was centered around the year in which the characters had to save the Earth, and space travel related to saving the Earth from the Gamilons and their planet-bombs. Later seasons involved active fighting/wars with forces like "the Comet Empire," with the Earth forces MUCH better prepared-now they had a FLEET of ships with wave-motion cannons. The original titles were "Space Battleship Yamato" (I, II, and III, for the seasons/stories, in that order, obviously.)

While we wait..... Daniel Davis Vincent D'Onofrio Lionel Atwill

Besides, he hasn't gotten ruder, then either A) spammed some advertisement for his ministry or B) announced how we all are messed up and should listen to how to get fixed- according to his schema of things and then stormed off in a huff when the obvious responses are negative So, frankly, I'd like to see him stick around, if only for the novelty of it.

It did indeed, and came out the year I mentioned. So, your turn.

No, TMTM came out in 1984, and didn't have nearly this many cameos.

This movie could TECHNICALLY be described as an exploration of the path to stardom, with glimpses of the drawbacks on the way there. One character abruptly abandons the lead at a phone-call from their agent, another expresses the loneliness of the road and having to leave home behind, and the lead must continually face the prospect of selling out rather than following his dream of making millions of people happy.

Small world. I hadn't realized Gina Torres was one of them. Then again, it's not like I really was into the show. (Maybe it aired at awkward times for me, since that usually was a death-knell for a series for me. That's how I gave up on ST:Voyager.) I would recognize her from "Firefly", of course. I wouldn't recognize Vicky Pratt at all. I remember reading an interview of Jennifer Sky when the show aired. As an irrelevant side-note, there's a music video for Fatboy Slim's first hit, "the Rockafella Skank." One actress in it bears a striking resemblance to Jennifer Sky. Someone asked about it on Sky's IMDB page, and someone claiming to be her replied that it wasn't her. They never replied again, so we don't know if it was her. I think it was, but I'm not confident in that thought without something more substantial to support it. I've never heard of "Adventure Inc", I think. I barely recall Karen Cliché from a different show that I also barely watched before it went off the air.
