Game: Before & After (Movies and TV)

[GeorgeStGeorge]

In this TV-movie TRIPLE, A future British jail tries aversion therapy (with unintended results) on Piper Chapman, imprisoned for a decade-old charge of transporting drugs. A white reporter takes skin darkening treatments so that he can investigate the story "from the inside."

[Raf]

Awesome!

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Awesome!

Thanks. I suspect that the last part might be the toughest to remember...

George

[Raf]

You know what they say: toughest is the new easiest.

[WordWolf]

Still working on the TV show in the middle.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

The clue is right before you.

George

[WordWolf]

Yes,

but I needed rest in front of me,

otherwise sometimes I can't think until I awaken later from a nap

and slap my forehead.

Ok, so we've got "A Clockwork Orange Is the New Black Like Me."

(A Clockwork Orange + Orange is the New Black + Black Like Me)

The third was especially easy since something reminded me of it

this past week.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Correct.

Did you dye your skin last week?

George

[WordWolf]

Correct.

Did you dye your skin last week?

George

No, I was reminded of a television show where one episode, someone did just that.

I don't want to name it because I may use it soon on a thread.

[WordWolf]

In this movie,

the stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer is spirited away into an eerie fantasy world

by a flying, immortal boy and ends up in a war against pirates.

In this movie,

the stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer is spirited away into an eerie fantasy world

by a faun and a flying, immortal boy. She ends up in a war between pirates

and orphans.

[WordWolf]

I made it a triple, and it may get easier now.

In this movie,

the stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer is spirited away into an eerie fantasy world

by a faun and a flying, immortal boy. She ends up in a conflict between pirates, orphans,

and The Goblin King.

(Title-order police, get lost.)

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I get the Peter Pan references. It's the officer's stepdaughter part that I don't get.

George

[Human without the bean]

I get the Peter Pan references. It's the officer's stepdaughter part that I don't get.

George

Didn't John Travolta play a corrupt general in The General's Daughter. That could be the title police listening.

[WordWolf]

George

You're missing everything up to and including the word "Faun."

But the glam-rock "Goblin King" might ring a bell.

No idea, but it has nothing to do with this round.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

But the glam-rock "Goblin King" might ring a bell.

Sadly, it doesn't.

George

[Raf]

Ok, Title Police Get Lost means the second movie in the clue will be the first in the answer.

Peter Pan

So you need a movie that starts with the word Pan.

Without even knowing the plot, I'd guess

Peter Pan's Labyrinth

[WordWolf]

Ok, Title Police Get Lost means the second movie in the clue will be the first in the answer.

It's basically an announcement of that.

Peter Pan

So you need a movie that starts with the word Pan.

It follows logically, yes.

Without even knowing the plot, I'd guess

Peter Pan's Labyrinth

That's it.

Peter Pan + Pan's Labyrinth + Labyrinth.

Labyrinth is remembered for David Bowie's role as The Goblin King.

Among people who never watched it. I figured having the entire

name of the second movie would make it possible to fill in

even without trying to give the second name.

I also didn't think "Pan's Labyrinth" would have been such a hard

target. Here, it's "Faun's Labyrinth", but the concept is the same.

(Maybe if I'd used 'satyr' I'd have shaken something loose.)

[Raf]

A young girl who secretly snoops on her friends and neighbors finds herself in trouble after her sworn enemy gets a hold of her diary. She turns to a couple of pre-teens, Carmen and Juni Cortez, for assistance.

[Raf]

No one? Carmen and Juni Cortez are also snooping children, if that helps.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

No tengo nada.

George

[Raf]

Snooping children isn't enough of a clue?

A young girl with the same name as Bruce Wayne's aunt in the old Batman series (by TOTAL coincidence) secretly snoops on her friends and neighbors. She finds herself in trouble after her sworn enemy gets a hold of her diary. She turns to Carmen and Juni Cortez, the preteen children of secret agents, for assistance.

And after that, I got nuttin.

Ok, the first time, the Mrs and I were lost.

I've got it now.

This movie is "Harriet the Spy Kids."

[Raf]

Whew

[WordWolf]

Digression:

You may find it mildly interesting what names get changed where.

Long ago, Kermit the Frog was "La Rana Rene", Rene the Frog.

He's rendered that in captions for "Big Bang Theory."

But for the movie "the Muppets", he was "Kermit" in all the

promotional material as well as the movie. And the Disney

Channel had Kermit show up during some commercial break and

announce he used to be known as "La Rana Rene" but would now

be known as "Kermit." (Apparently, this announcement was for

the parents, since the kids may have been unfamiliar with

the Muppets until this movie came out.)

As for the Batman TV show, it's one example of where Batman's

name was rendered differently. There-and cartoons that came

after- he was BRUNO DIAZ, and his faithful young ward was

RICARDO TAPIA. ("Ricardo" is a translation of "Richard",

and "Bruno" may have been an attempt to make the first name

closer for Bruce. As for the last names, I've got nuthin'.)

As for Alfred and Aunt Harriet, they were "Alfred" and

"Aunt Harriet." No "Alfredo"-we think it's because he was a

British butler and so "needed" the British name.
