  1. It sounds Beatle-ish, but I'm probably far off.
  2. No, but you're not terribly far off.
  3. That's it. Plans to include Alan Scott (the Golden Age GL) fell through.
  4. If it's true, DC is sensibly ignoring it and pretending it doesn't exist. That way, most people don't hear about it and it goes away. If DC says something, they will draw attention to it and put it on the map.
  5. Michael Clarke Duncan Temuera Morrison Geoffrey Rush Tim Robbins Angela Bassett -The main actor for the movie (arguably the title role) clashed with the director, and was glad the movie performed poorly. -The director wanted Bradley Cooper for the main actor, but he wasn't available. An early version of the script included Pierce Brosnan making a brief appearance as Alan.
  6. "We've all become God's Madmen. All of us." "I have crossed oceans of time to find you." "Our ways are not your ways. And to you there shall be many strange things." I... love you too much to condemn you." "Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self. The green fairy who lives in the absinthe wants your soul. But you are safe with me." "Blood, and the diseases of the blood such as syphilis, will concern us here. The very name "venereal diseases", the "diseases of Venus", imputes to them divine origin. They are involved in that sex problem about which the ethics and ideals of Christian civilization are concerned. In fact, civilization and syphilization have advanced together." "My dear Jonathan has been gone almost a week and, although I was disappointed we could not marry before his departure, I am happy that he got sent on this important assignment. I am longing to hear all the news. It must be so nice to see strange countries. I wonder if we, I mean Jonathan and I, shall ever see them together..." "I suggest you use your big Bowie knife." "I was hoping not to get that close to him."
  7. I still haven't sat down to watch "Black Adam." I think it has a lot to do with them including Cyclone/Maxine Hunkel and the actress looking nothing like the original. Now I wish I'd completed all the seasons of "LoT." Let's see. No Pierce Brosnan, so not "Dr Fate." John Constantine would be an odd choice for "Black Adam." The trick is, who's been in the JLA (so in "Smallville") and also in the JSA (so in "Black Adam"), a guy, and not Dr Fate. Oh! How about "HAWKMAN"???? (If you watched "Legends of the Superheroes", the roast included an actress playing Hawkman's mother! Oddly enough, that came to mind the other day. )
  8. Since we're in the realm of wild guesses, how about "Christopher Columbus"?
  9. *walks in late to the party* Ah, "Mean Girls"?????
  10. No. Ann Rice had nothing to do with this movie.
  11. "We've all become God's Madmen. All of us." "I have crossed oceans of time to find you." "Our ways are not your ways. And to you there shall be many strange things." I... love you too much to condemn you." "Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self. The green fairy who lives in the absinthe wants your soul. But you are safe with me." "Blood, and the diseases of the blood such as syphilis, will concern us here. The very name "venereal diseases", the "diseases of Venus", imputes to them divine origin. They are involved in that sex problem about which the ethics and ideals of Christian civilization are concerned. In fact, civilization and syphilization have advanced together." "My dear Jonathan has been gone almost a week and, although I was disappointed we could not marry before his departure, I am happy that he got sent on this important assignment.

  12. Any chance for another clue?
  13. "Why don't you all f-fade away." "And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say."
  14. Ok, Explains how I don't know it better. (I've heard the "Let's Dance" album.)
  15. Martin Freeman The Hobbit-Desolation of Smaug Benedict Cumberbatch
  16. "Following Wierwille’s sudden death in 1985, a series of revelations came out about him, which became a cascade of scandals. Not everyone believed it all, but Charlene did, having been earlier disabused of notions of his infallibility by a serious textual error he had made." Out of curiosity, which serious textual error was that? We've discussed many over the decades, I'm curious if this one's new to me.
  17. "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good."
  18. Ok. A lot of the lyrics I won't remember, but "we are the goon squad and we're" clicks, and "talk to me, don't talk to me, dance with me, don't dance with me" also clicks. This is definitely David Bowie. The song, IIRC, is called "Fashion." IIRC, it's off "Let's Dance," but I may be wrong.
  19. "We've all become God's Madmen. All of us." "I have crossed oceans of time to find you." "Our ways are not your ways. And to you there shall be many strange things." I... love you too much to condemn you."
  20. Normally I'd be ineligible to answer, but I honestly would have recognized it this time. Should I answer? I think I'm the only poster who would get it. The Mrs likes this artist, and even she would miss this round.
  21. Correct. "A friend of mine had invited me to his wedding. I was unable to attend, but later, he let me watch the movie that was filmed of the wedding, and d*ed if MICHAEL CAINE wasn't in it! I mean, this guy...." (Dennis Miller) Yes, the markee showed "THE CAINE MUTINY". Maurice split his last name to "Michael White" but there already WAS a Michael White. So, one walk later, he picked "Caine" as the last name.
  22. There's a number of prolific actors in Hollywood. (Not only that, but some have been in a lot of movies.) One of them retired within the last decade, around age 90, and this question is about him. One actor has spoken of how he got his stage name. He had the first name, but the last name he wanted was taken. He went for a walk, and saw a movie markee with a current movie's title displayed. He used part of that title for his last name. He's said it was a good thing he walked in that direction. If he'd walked in the other direction, his stage last name would have been '101 Dalmatians.' In either event, he definitely changed his first name, since his legal first name is "Maurice". As of the time of this question (I won't update if this changes), he was currently alive. His legal name is "Maurice Joseph Mickelwhite." [I'd like to remind everyone that looking that up is CHEATING, so DON'T do it, please.]
  23. Well, that's all I've got. I never watched it. In fact, I remember seeing the animated donkey as a sign to change the channel.
