"There is something amiss. I am being insincere. In fact I don't mean any of this. Still my confession draws you near. To confuse the issue I refer To familiar heroes from long ago. No matter how much Peter loved her What made the Pan refuse to grow?" "Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn Make a desperate move or else you'll win And then begin to see what you're doing to me This MTV is not for free It's so PC it's killing me So desperately I sing to thee Of love Sure but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf I've tried, well, no in fact I lied Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside To hide or slide I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died And only then shall I abide this tide Of catchy little tunes Of hip three minute ditties I wanna bust all your balloons I wanna burn all of your cities to the ground I've found I will not mess around Unless I play then hey I will go on all day. Hear what I say I have a prayer to pray That's really all this was And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because"

An office worker steals from her employer, goes on the run, then picks the worst possible spot to hide.

They are in the right order. The second movie is not as "recent" as the first movie. A radio shock-jock, suicidally despondent because of a terrible mistake he made, finds redemption in helping a deranged homeless man who was an unwitting victim of that mistake. That man turns his own life around, and works at a nightclub, first as a busboy then as a singer. Stars Jeff Bridges as the former radio shock-jock, and the singer was an obvious casting choice who was hired before he left the building. (Could you believe they wanted Robin Williams for the role instead?)

Had me completely thrown until I gave it some thought. "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince of Egypt."

I was going to. George gets it for closest correct answer to "Matrix Reloaded."

Indeed. The 70s had some shows I've missed since then. I wonder if some will turn up online.

Steelers Wheel, "Stuck in the Middle."

One of the titular characters is Mexican. We'll cast a Puerto Rican actor-no one will notice. The Puerto Rican actor committed suicide? We'll cast some kid in the titular role.

"Not everyone believes what you believe." "My beliefs do not require them to." "I remember that for 100 years they have sent their armies to destroy us, and after a century of war I remember that which matters most... We are still here!" "There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept." "You!" "Me. Me, me, me." "Me, too." " There is so much in this world that I do not understand. See that machine? It has something to do with recycling our water supply. I have absolutely no idea how it works. But I do understand the reason for it to work." "You always told me to stay off the freeway." "Yes, that's true." "You said it was suicide." "Then let us hope that I was wrong." "Can we move this along?" "You see there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only real truth. Causality. Action, reaction. Cause and effect." "What does he want?" "What do all men with power want? More power." I am Seraph. I can take you to her. But first, I must apologize." "For what?" "For this." "I love French wine, like I love the French language. I have sampled every language, French is my favorite. Fantastic language. Especially to curse with." "I've been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant." "I have dreamed a dream, but now that dream is gone from me." "It seems that every time we meet, I have nothing but bad news. I'm sorry about that, I surely am. But for what it's worth, you've made a believer out of me. Good luck, kiddo." " The ones doing their job, doing what they were meant to do, are invisible. You'd never even know they were here. But the other ones, well, we hear about them all the time." "I've never heard of them." "Oh, of course you have. Every time you've heard someone say they saw a ghost, or an angel." "As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you are going to do, don't we? Already I can see the chain reaction: the chemical precursors that signal the onset of an emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic and reason. An emotion that is already blinding you to the simple and obvious truth: she is going to die and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness." "As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly ninety-nine percent of the test subjects accepted the program provided they were given a choice - even if they were only aware of it at a near-unconscious level. While this solution worked, it was fundamentally flawed, creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly, that, if left unchecked, might threaten the system itself. Ergo, those who refused the program, while a minority, would constitute an escalating probability of disaster." "This is about Zion." "But, as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist." "It is purpose that created us." "Purpose that connects us." "Purpose that pulls us." "That guides us." "That drives us." "It is purpose that defines us." "Purpose that binds us." "We are here because of you, Mr Anderson. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us. Purpose."

It is "the Jazz Singer". The spoken line was the end of "silent" films and the beginning of films with "synchronized sound", aka "the talkies". It is about Al Jolson. FREE POST.

If you're looking for a clue about this movie from me, I am remaining silent.

Was I correct? -
I haven't discussed it much, but that came up back then. I had a textbook in high school that included a photo of a movie markee with the name on it, and I remember a daytime game show which had it as a question.
