  1. Supergirl starts tonight, replacing Superman and Lois for a few weeks. George
  2. Close enough. Wonder Woman '84. Lily Aspell plays young Diana on Paradise Island. Obviously, you haven't seen it. It introduces a number of themes from the WW comic book: invisible plane, flying by "riding the wind currents," etc. It was hard to describe without involving obvious references to Greek mythology, etc. Mild spoiler alert: Lynda Carter has a cute cameo. George
  3. Nov. 5 is Guy Fawkes Day, and I seem to remember that that was key to V for Vendetta. George
  4. Sounds like current England, where you can actually be arrested for saying something prohibited by the government. But I don't recognize the movie. Maybe "V for Vendetta"? George
  5. So, are these going to be performances, or just written works? George
  6. Unlike WW, I'm familiar with Bruce Dern (and Laura). I could name some movies he's been in, but I don't think I could have named any of the characters. George
  7. Casino Royale (1967) Bullitt The Grasshopper The Mephisto Waltz Secrets The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean Murder on the Orient Express Under the Volcano Inchon Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? Wild Orchid George
  8. James Cromwell? George BTW, it IS possible that Raf is playing...
  9. I can't think of the title, but with Charles Grodin in it, it was about transporting a crook (Deniro). Doesn't really matter, though, since I probably won't be able to post, even if I'm right. George
  10. [Chuckles] No. Lilly Aspell (not the star, but who had a significant part) performed all the required physical stunt work herself at the age of 12, because it was deemed that she did the job better than her own stunt doubles. The star of this film, a sequel, made 33 times what she made on the first film. The film has had seven release dates, the first being December 20th, 2019. Then it was moved up to November 8th, 2019 in order to avoid competing against Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019). Once it was announced that the 25th James Bond film was to leave its originally scheduled November 1st spot, Warner Bros. moved the film's release up another week, in order to take an extra week advantage. The fourth was when it was pushed back by 7 months to June 5th, 2020 as Warner Bros. realized the success of the first film's June release. The fifth change was made on March 24th, 2020 when it was moved to August 14, 2020 due to concerns about the COVID-19 virus. It was again moved to Oct. 2 in June when Warner Brothers shifted its entire schedule of upcoming films. Then in September 2020, it was pushed once more to December 25th, 2020 and released on streaming at the same time. This film takes place in a certain year, but there are anachronistic errors throughout. (Mostly, items or places which came into being after the movie year.) This movie takes place 66 years after the first one. George
  11. Some of the characters seem familiar, but I'm not getting it. Are there any "giveaway" roles? George
  12. Pearl Harbor Ben Affleck Daredevil George
  13. The Hunt for Red October Rick Ducommun The 'Burbs George
  14. Sorry. I thought I had responded. Probably hit "Back" instead of "Submit Reply." Anyway, no, not Niven Casino Royale (1967) Bullitt The Grasshopper The Mephisto Waltz Secrets The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean George
  15. Death Becomes Her Goldie Hawn Private Benjamin George
  16. I'll give it to you. The show was "Here Come the Brides," inspired by events in the life of Asa Mercer, first president of the Territorial University of Washington, Washington State Senator, and resident of Seattle. Mercer made three 19th-century ocean voyages that sailed to New England to recruit eligible women to move to the Pacific Northwest, where there was an extreme imbalance in the ratio of men to women. Due to teh war, the women greatly outnumbered the men in New England. Bobby Sherman and David Soul were the heartthrobs. Mark Lenard, who played Sarek and a Romulan commander on Star Trek, was Aaron Stemple, the Bolts' rival and nemesis. An interesting note from IMDb: According to the 1985 "Star Trek" novel "Ishmael" by Barbara Hambly, Aaron Stempel (spelled Stemple in the novel) is an ancestor of Amanda Grayson, Spock's mother. In the novel, Spock prevented the Klingons from assassinating Stempel and altering history. This is an intertextual in-joke as Stempel was played by Mark Lenard, who also played Spock's father Ambassador Sarek beginning in Star Trek: The Original Series: Journey to Babel (1967). George
  17. I don't think Gunsmoke was set on the west coast. Let's try a minor modification: This show was based on actual events in the Pacific Northwest immediately after the Civil War. A young Bruce Lee appeared as a Chinese immigrant named Lin in the episode "Marriage Chinese Style" (1969). This character was the only dramatic English language non-martial arts role in Lee's acting career. Cicely Tyson, Jane Wyatt, Edward Asner, Majel Barrett (Star Trek), Barry Williams (pre-The Brady Bunch), Marge Redmond and Madeleine Sherwood (both known as regulars in The Flying Nun), Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay of Bewitched), Vic Tayback, Lynda Day George, Bob Cummings, Daniel J. Travanti and James B. Sikking (both later known for Hill Street Blues), Larry Linville (M*A*S*H) and Billy Mumy (Lost in Space) all made guest appearances. Two of the stars immediately became teen heartthrobs. (They were in their early 20s at the time.) This show ran for three years (1968-1970), pretty much starting as Star Trek ended. An actor with two minor roles in Star Trek played a major character in this show. George
  18. "You! Help us or die!" "I do not deserve to live!" "Fine, I'll kill you later!" [later] "Take care of the prisoner." "Wait! You said you would kill me!" "I lied!" "All systems automated and ready. A chimpanzee and two trainees could run her." "Thank you. I'll try not to take that personally." "I thank you. What you have done is..." "What I have done, I had to do." "But at what cost? Your ship. Your son." "If I hadn't tried, the cost would have been my soul." "My God, what have I done?" "What you had to do, what you always do. Turn death into a fighting chance to live." George
