"What we have here is a failure to communicate."

"Ülla will come at eleven." " I'm drowning here! I'm going down for the last time! I... I... I see my whole life flashing before my eyes! I see a weathered old farmhouse... With a white picket fence... I'm running through fields of alfalfa with my collie, Rex. No Rex, not on the alfalfa. And I see my mother... I see Mama, standing on the back porch... And I hear her calling out to me..."Alvin, don't forget your chores! The wood needs a-cordin' and the cows need a-milkin'! Alviiiiin! Aaaaalviiiiiiiiiiiin!"... Wait a minute. My name's not Alvin. That's not my life. Someone else's life is flashing before my eyes. What the hell is that about? I'm not a hillbilly, I grew up in the Bronx."

Let's see... AFAIK, only one vampire detective on TV. Add a Bond flick..... "Diamonds Are Forever Knight"?

It is indeed. I remember the Little Rascals, when the kids were visiting Darla's house, and Mr Hood was giving them dinner. The kids argued over whether Flash Gordon or Tarzan was stronger. Mr Hood said that if they'd eat quietly, afterwards he'd tell them everything he knows about "those Flash Tarzan and Gordon fellows." You of course have seen part of the serial. I think most of us did at some point. The movie was fun, the more recent TV show is best ignored. The movie's soundtrack was fun, too. ===================== Your turn!

I strongly suspected it. It's not the most unique conversation in history.

No, although this one also had a feature movie, there was NO radio show like the Lone Ranger. However, there WAS a newspaper comic strip. And a cool movie soundtrack. And a video game, and a pinball machine. But no formal sidekick among the ensemble. And it was mentioned once, in passing, on "the Little Rascals." (IIRC, that alone should narrow it down to 2 characters.)

This is the name of a short-lived television show from a few years back. And a cartoon from the 1970s. And a television show from the 1950s. And a serial from before that. And some other non-television stuff. What's the name?

Stand and Deliver Lou Diamond Phillips La Bamba

Actually had it from the first one. it's "Meet the Fockers." A movie I've never seen, but I've overheard that much.

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

"It's nine o'clock on a Saturday"

BTW, did they stop saying this on the new version of BATTLESTAR: GALACTICA?

It was Iron Man 2, which was airing a lot on TV when I posted this, so I took a shot. The commercial with Nick Fury ordering Iron Man to exit the doughnut (while eating some) aired a LOT, when the movie was in the theater, new on DVD, on cable.... If you didn't see it, just watch from the beginning until the end of the scene in the Senate committee. The comment about prostitution will make a lot of sense.

An expletive is a curse-word, something the censors would bleep out.

No, CASEY JONES was the title, George, and I gave it.

I thought it was THE MASK, but now I'm not so sure....

CASEY JONES, you'd better watch your speed!

It's possible someone got this line off a commercial, and never saw the movie but can name it. (I like clues like that for this thread.) If it's the one I'm thinking of... with the dance numbers. Hey! Pachuco!

You had me puzzled for a second. But the expletive was in the comic book and novelizations, too. Me, I preferred "felgercarb" which obviously was a noun expletive. Looking back, it's pretty clever how they got something past the censors. Back then, you couldn't make a regular character a prostitute, but nobody sent letters because someone was a "socialator." :)

Correct. The other was "the Singing Bee", and they premiered in the same season. Low ratings cancelled them, which was a shame. I liked them both- but I liked DFtL better.

If you don't mind, I'm curious- what were you thinking about it and feeling about it when you were constructing and rotating them? (This is even a bit different than we were discussing before, mostly, since this is different from "free vocalization." Still on-topic, of oourse.)

Much more descriptive. Now I know for sure I've never heard of these movies. That qualifies as progress. :)

There was at least one TV game show where contestants needed to identify song titles. There were at least 2 TV game shows where contestants needed to fill in the words in songs. That's 3 TV game shows- name any TWO. (The first one is old, the other 2 are a few years old.)

Neither do I. A lack of following up didn't help. (I rephrased my clues into longer clues when people didn't get them at first.)
