  1. That would have to be Paper Moon
  2. You can have it, WW. I have a tendency to wander off...
  3. The only one that did not feature Luthor?
  4. Captains Courageous and Boys Town
  5. Henry Fonda won his Oscar. He wore Spencer Tracy's hat in the movie. He lost in 1940 to Jimmy Stewart. Katherine Hepburn, who gave Tracy's hat to Fonda, won Best Actress. Jane Fonda lost the Best Supporting Actress Oscar but accepted the Best Actor award for her dad, who died a month or so after the ceremony. Chariots of Fire won Best Picture that year. You're up, George.
  6. It would be interesting to me to see how this person uses scripture to differentiate between "American Christianity" and "Biblical Christianity," or if "Biblical Christianity" is his ideal (as opposed to some other form of the faith).
  7. The Best Actor winner had only been nominated one other time, 41 years earlier. He lost to Jimmy Stewart. But for THIS movie, he wore a hat that once belonged to his co-star's husband, a two-time Best Actor Oscar winner (in back-to-back years).
  8. This was the first movie in which a father and daughter in real life were each nominated for an Oscar (he for best actor, she for best supporting actress). He won, she didn't. He was sick when the Oscars were handed out, so she accepted on his behalf. He died shortly afterward. Yes, they played a father and daughter in the film. The actress who played his wife/her mother also won an Oscar for best actress. But the film did not win Best Picture. That award went to a movie now better known for its theme music than its story.
  9. OMG. It was the most emotional scene from the film. That's like forgetting Run Forest Run That's like forgetting There's no place like home That's like forgetting yippee kay yay, mother...
  10. It's a good thing I don't get charged rent for the room I occupy in some people's minds.
  11. Lord of the Rings Return of the King Extended Editions Christopher Lee, who knew what a stabbed man would sound like, was not in the theatrical cut
  12. Lol WW. How the BLAZES does that line not stick out Amistad?
  13. Dang... called out in no time flat
  14. And I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool. Really? I thought this was easy.
  15. It was L.A. Confidential. Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce were the Aussies. Kim Basinger won an Oscar. Lana Turner featured in one of the few genuinely funny scenes. Guy Pearce: "Shut up! A hooker cut to look like Lana Turner is still a hooker. She just looks like Lana Turner." Kevin Spacey: "She is Lana Turner." Guy Pearce: "What?" Kevin Spacey: "She is Lana Turner." Lana Turner: Throws drink in Guy Pearce's face. You're up, WW!
  16. I watched the second part of the Flash-Arrow team up, but I'm still one episode shy of being completely caught up on the Arrow series. The Flash episode was better than the Arrow, and I'm not sure how you guys are going to react to the Arrow episode. Personally, I think they made a storytelling blunder that just came off as lazy. Not bad. Consistent. But come on.
  17. You left out the Batman villain and love interest (two different people). Russell Crowe Guy Pearce James Cromwell Kevin Spacey Danny DeVito Kim Basinger Simon Baker (minor role) Basinger won an Oscar for it
  18. Ok, other work by the stars of this movie. One, a minor character, went on to star in a hit TV series about a charmingly obnoxious know it all who fights crime while tracking down the serial killer who offed his wife and daughter. One previously helped humanity advance in the space race to the point of initiating our first known visit from an alien race. One was not Lana Turner, and not a hooker, but she played Lana Turner in the movie, but not a hooker.
  19. In other words, accurate Moratorium on Flash and Arrow until Sunday then.
  20. Add another comic book movie villain then. One of the stars played a Batman villain. Another, the one who one the Oscar, played a Batman love interest. Both well before this movie was made.
