  1. Actually, the one that's technically "the middle one" is the one you got without effort. And the other one really should be memorable to you, since forgetting that particular film is becoming the Abe Vigoda of my posts, so to speak. (No, he's not in the film.) The cartoon part has been in syndication and new episodes for nearly a decade of continuous appearances.
  2. I'm less than a month older than him, so that would be a really, really narrow window of difference.....
  3. Here's a stealth triple. In this animated (?) TV movie, we follow the life of a boy/man-Benjamin Tennyson. As a young teen, he discovers an alien device (the Omnitrix) that allows him to transform into alien forms. As an older teen, he has to find an un-date-able girl in school a date so he can date her younger sister (somewhat like an easily-forgotten takeoff of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew.") As an adult, he goes through a mid-life crisis and becomes infatuated with this blonde, cornrow-wearing married woman he meets. Actors include Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, and Bo Derek.
  4. T&O, I think everyone-Raf included- would freely admit we all have lives and posting here can easily take a back burner to actually living them. It's perfectly fine to say you'll get back to this soon with a better answer- then hold off until you can post it. We can take it in good faith that you're waiting until you can articulate your points in a manner they deserve, and don't want to rattle off something off-the-cuff. (You haven't seen my response to all this partly for that reason.) There's no need to take up time by posting and saying you WILL post the response. This isn't network television and there's no competition for viewing the thread. Use that time productively and begin a draft of your main points, or just use it now to live so you can sit down later and make all the points in one sitting without life interrupting every keystroke. Raf, if he did that, would you promise to give him the benefit of the doubt and let him have some time without teasing him, goading him, or anything else he might be concerned about?
  5. Although I would agree with this statement, you're doing a disservice concerning the rest. You quoted a biased source, labelled it unbiased, and got called (successfully) on it. That's worth some chagrin, but really, suck it up and move on. If you don't do that, and instead make it personal, how can you hit upon any of the perfectly legitimate points left unaddressed here? I mean, Raf accidentally POSTED one in the past day, and you missed it completely because you were busy being emotional on a subject that should be approached coldly. You can do a LOT better than that, and usually do. If you respond to points with nothing more than emotion, Raf will come away thinking you've proved he was right because you had nothing to respond with other than volume.
  6. That's it. Why Alfalfa and Herb Alpert (the musician) were in there, I can't guess.

  11. That's him, in "S1m0ne", "the Devil's Advocate" and "Scarface."
  12. No idea about the first role, but the other 2 are definitely "Sean Penn."
  13. "Coming Home Alone." (We might have done this one a few years back.) Yes, once upon a time, we did this one. Gets tough to cover new ground after a while...
  14. That was indeed "HAMLET." David Tennant did a version alongside Patrick Stewart as King Claudius. Mel Gibson, IMHO, spent the most time of the versions, speaking and moving as the character, and not as Mel Gibson. I was quite shocked and impressed. (If nobody got it, I was going to mention 3 more actors and then it should have been obvious.) Ethan Hawke's "Hamlet" set the thing in modern society, with a corporation at risk rather than Denmark. (No, I haven't seen it.)
  15. Sounds like a description of "COP ROCK."
  16. I never knew that about Professor Falken. I'll always remember him and "Joshua" chatting together at the end of "WAR GAMES", however. How about a nice game of chess?
  17. On at least one thread, we did. The idea is to keep from stalling threads indefinitely.
