    guys, "random thoughts." you were suppposed to chuckle and move on. Why is it when you see a late night cable movie, it says it's intended for mature audiences? bull! it's intended for IMMATURE audiences! "Masterpiece Theater" is intended for mature audiences!
  2. How about that. Ok, so this movie was released several times, most recently in 1986. Maybe you've seen it? If you have kids, there's a lesser chance they've seen it. If your KIDS have kids, there's minimal chance your grandkids have seen it. But you know the main line of one song, more likely than not. I wouldn't say it's a tale as old as time. Maybe 160 years or so, give or take. The lead actor received praise for his performance. Ironically, the lead character is one of the reasons your kids probably haven't seen it and your grandkids almost certainly have not. That's not to say they haven't been exposed to the story. Just not in a movie. They night have encountered the characters, setting and music at the end of a very long line.
  3. Nope. Unless it's Love and Death, one of those Woody Allen movies I only know by title and have never heard anything about. Is it Love and Death?

    No politics, please. At age 18 you are old enough to enlist to fight and possibly lay your life down for your country. You are trusted to use your judgement to elect the leaders of your city, your state and the free world. You need no one's permission to move into a new home or get married. But you can't order a beer. WTF?
  5. True, but you still offer no explanation of why God punished actual snakes because of what Satan did. (Hint: it's not Satan in the original story: that's a retcon. The original story is a fictional myth, and it's talking about a literal snake responsible for snakes now having to slither and eat "dust," which snakes don't do). "to each their own:" thank you. That is gracious. It doesn't address the issues of this thread but it does address me in a way that is respectful. Demons, by the way, don't exist. They don't look reptilian, human or anything else. But okay, if you want wild ass guesses... they actually look like toenails.
  6. Nope. WW, just give the answer so we can move on.
  7. and your husband wants to be a girl
  8. In the week it debuted, this series was rated dead last in the Nielsens. As the show progressed, some critics complained that the laugh track was too loud. There was no laugh track. A disclaimer was added a few seasons in to let viewers know the show was filmed before a live studio audience. When one of the main supporting characters died, writers created a new character to replace him. The new character shared the first name of the actor who would play him. This is supposedly a total coincidence.
  9. You had me at Universal. The car was gravy. The rest just clicked, although my memory of the series is clouded by the years since I saw it. Can't forget Yvonne DeCarlo, though.
  10. Name the Actor: Hint: Feels like I will NEVER run out of roles to post. Doc Robbins Francis Fratelli "Snake" Bob Keane Cosmo Renfro
  11. The Munsters. Educated guess, but I would be SHOCKED if I were wrong.
  12. Willie was the "nice" visitor who was originally slated for assignment to the Middle East but sent to Los Angeles at the last minute. As such, his English often left a lot to be desired. "Excuse please, I am just." He meant "lost." "I guess I'm not what you would call an ox." "That's FOX, you dope!" The visitor who went looking for a mouse where he could have been seen was someone else entirely. Destler, of course, was the actual name of the Phantom of the Opera -- in the Robert Englund version of the tale.
  13. English not well to me. I wasn't entirely sure, because multiple people have played the role of Destler. Gerard Butler Lon Cheney Claude Raines But for some reason I fixated on Willie.
  14. 'Jefferson Smith Goes to Washington" doesn't have the same ring to it. Mr. Smith, on the other hand... You're up, Mr. Wolf.
  15. so the donate button is still up. read into that.
  16. He wasn't a doctor. He does get a title in the course of the movie, but before that he's just plain old...
  17. Read my very very first character. He's a title character, as you would address him formally.
  18. Well, the Exorcist was not New York, and the sequels, dreadful as they were, did actually seem to be actual sequels. Same with the Godfather, though even the bad sequel was pretty good. So, a movie that takes place in New York, with a sort-of-sequel that prominently features an underground set... OH!
  19. And you're wrong. And let's save time: Your second guess is wrong too.
