  1. Feel free to share with the class. George
  2. If that's correct, it means the only things I remember from the movie were the off-the-wall ads (because I don't remember any of these lines). George
  3. Yes. Aaron Ashmore: Smallville Justin Whalin: Lois and Clark Mehcad Brooks: Supergirl (TV) Marc McClure: Superman, Superman II, Supergirl (movie) Jack Larson: Adventures of Superman Tommy Bond: Superman (1948) George

  6. All right. Let's make this easy. Aaron Ashmore Justin Whalin Mehcad Brooks Marc McClure Jack Larson Tommy Bond George
  7. The star was the first to suggest that his character should be Scottish (originally the character was Québécois) but was turned down. He was later informed late into Season 1 filming that his character was changed to be Scottish from the actor's own hometown of Dundee. In the opening credits there is a brief image of an ATN broadcast. The on-screen headline says, "Gender fluid illegals may be entering the country twice." The ticker below says, "Dem senator wants to create 'supremer' court" and "Is 'sweetcheeks ' hate speech now?" Alan Ruck (born in 1956) is closer in age to the actor playing his father (born 1946) than the actress playing his sister (born 1987). He is also older than the actress playing his stepmother (born 1960). The show is heavily influenced by Shakespeare's 17th century tragedy King Lear. George
  8. All the Right Moves Tom Cruise Maverick George
  9. The name sounds vaguely familiar. (I was in TWI from 1979-1997.) Was he a musician? George
  10. Lisa is headed into Central America. Martin is headed northeast into the Atlantic. I suspect that the US is safe for the rest of the year. I'll post again if there are any actual threats. George
  11. I'm seeing Burgess Meredith in jail, but I can't remember the title. I think it was a pretty well-known film. George
  12. I think I've seen this one on Turner Classic Movies, but it's not coming to me. George
  13. Correct song AND correct artist! Smokey Robinson's version had the lyrics from a man's viewpoint. Well done. George
  14. Honky Tonk Woman "Woah, my love, my darling, I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time." George
  15. Nah. It was on off-the-cuff spoken line. But you (and I) tend to use seasonal songs. "Just because you've become a young woman now, There's still some things that you don't understand now. Before you ask some guy for his hand now, Keep your freedom for as long as you can now." George
  16. "The Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett? George
  17. Mama Told Me not to Come "What goes up, must come down." George
  18. All right. It was "Indian Reservation" (by Paul Revere and the Raiders). "In the cool of the evenin' when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy..." George
  19. Aaron Ashmore Justin Whalin Mehcad Brooks George
  20. This musical won three Academy Awards. David Hemming didn't sing at all, although he was the only trained singer in the cast. In later years, the star bought the rights to the stage version of the movie for $1 million, revamped the musical, and took it on tour. It made him a very rich man. During one rocky period in the film's production, David Hemmings came to collect the star from his house in the Hollywood Hills. When he arrived, he found him on a balcony above the swimming pool. "I'm going to jump", he announced. "You can't do that", Hemmings protested. "There's no water in the pool". The star replied, "I don't give a f--k. I f--king hate Warner Brothers and f--king Hollywood, the people here are all f--king arseholes". Hemmings climbed out on to the balcony. "Are you sure you really want to do this?" The star's face fell, and he said "No, I don't. Let's have a drink." He and Hemmings became life-long friends. The star wanted very badly to play the lead role but was repeatedly turned down due to his limited singing ability. He eventually won over the producers by pointing out that he was taller than the leading lady, whereas Richard Burton, also up for the role, was shorter than she. For a post-marriage bath scene with the leading lady, the star startled everyone by strutting onto the set completely nude with a large erection. (There is no nudity in the film.) George
