  1. Well, Epsilon is out there and predicted to reach hurricane strength, though it should stay in the middle of the Atlantic. I think that ties us for the 2004 season for most named storms. And there's that disturbance in the Caribbean... George
  2. Natalie Portman Star Wars, Ep.1 Liam Neeson George
  3. I remember watching that movie on TV when I was young (maybe early teens). Even edited for TV, it was terrifying. I sat through it all, hoping for a (relatively) happy ending, only to see the last survivor shot by the sheriff. What a dismal film! I'll post a cheerier one, soon. George
  4. It's not George Lazenby. I would have thought that OHMSS, along with TGMC would have given it to you. Who's the OTHER star of OHMSS? George
  5. I come home in the morning light My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?" Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones. George
  6. This is a pre-1970 TV show (just to narrow the field a bit). As the two main actors were essentially co-stars, the show had two sets of opening credits, one with one actor listed first, one with the other. The choice of which one to use seems rather random, not indicating which actor had a larger role in the episode. Although Pierre Jalbert had been employed at MGM for nearly a decade, he had no actual acting experience prior to being cast in a supporting role on the series. Up to that time his job at MGM had been in the capacity of a technician in the film editing department. A feature-film adaptation of the series was planned, with Bruce Willis in the lead as the lead, but the film never materialized. One of the stars died in 1982, during filming of a movie based on another famous TV series. The lead characters were almost always called by their last names and almost never called by their first names, though one was "Chip" and the other, "Gil." "Chip" was obviously a nickname, but no other first name (e.g., Charles) was mentioned. George
  7. And now the giveaway On Her Majesty's Secret Service The Assassination Bureau Evil Under the Sun Snow White The Great Muppet Caper A Midsummer Night's Dream Theater of Blood George
  8. Swamp Thing is OK. Only two episodes in, and we've already met Dan Cassidy (pre-Blue Devil) and Jason Woodrue (pre-Floronic Man). I believe they only filmed one season, so it will be interesting to see how far it gets. George
  9. From the most recent. L-to-R Jessie Usher, Samuel Jackson, Richard Roundtree George
  10. Get Off of My Cloud -- Rolling Stones. (Duh. ) George
  11. I doubt it's "Birth of a Nation." No real idea. George
  12. CORRECTION: This movie has had two sequels, perhaps better thought of as remakes. I consider them sequels, because the actor who played the title role in this movie played the UNCLE of the title role in the second film and the GREAT UNCLE of the title role in the third. (And, yes, the actor who played the title role in the second played the father of the title role in the third. One, big, happy family.) This (i.e., the first) movie aired in 1971. The other two were in 2000 and 2019. An actor/musician auditioned for the lead role. He didn't get it, but he did write the score for the film. The theme song was a BIG hit. He was the first African American to win and Academy Award for Best Song. This was one of only three MGM movies in this particular year which turned a profit and helped keep the studio out of bankruptcy. Much of the action centers around 125th Street in Harlem. The exterior of the lead character's apartment was at 55 Jane Street, in Greenwich Village, across the street from the (real) "No Name Bar" at 621 Hudson Street. The bar later became a deli. The character "Bumpy Jonas" was based on Bumpy Johnson, an African American mobster in the 30's. George
  13. No. Dressed to Kill FREE POST!!! George
