  1. When Gene Pitney was getting ready to record the song by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, he learned that the movie was already in theaters Interesting communication failure. George
  2. That line was ad-libbed. Howard was having IRS troubles at the time. George
  3. It is. Director Ron Howard, actor Clint Howard. The stars were proud about not losing their lunches during the weightless scenes (and they spent a LOT of time in the "Vomit Comet"). La Casita is a Tex-Mex restaurant in Friendswood (not far from Clear Lake, where NASA is). A photo of Tom Hanks with several of the staff hangs proudly on the wall. George
  4. LOL. I don't think Godzilla was filmed in the Houston area. This film was the favorite of the director. (An actor, but who did not appear in this film. His brother did.) Much of the film was made in the greater Houston area. I have eaten at a Tex-Mex place in Friendswood displaying a photo of the film stars eating there. Walter Cronkite added new voice tracks to old archival footage. Weightless scenes were filmed aboard the "Vomit Comet." None of the stars got sick, but several of the film crew did. The director often jokingly referred to his stars as "actronauts." George
  5. Adrienne Barbeau Swamp Thing Louis Jourdan George
  6. It was the only movie I could think of with both Hackman and Stone. The Hollywood Knights Scarface Amazon Women on the Moon George
  7. This HAS to be a movie I've heard of, with that cast; but I don't think I've seen it... George
  8. Name the role: Nick Nolte Daveed Diggs Ken Howard George
  9. Has anyone else watched "Armageddon" yet? George
  10. Except for Tobin Bell, I know all the actors, but I can't think of a movie with all of them. George
  11. That one doesn't seem familiar at all. George
  12. Donald Trump Zoolander Owen Wilson George
  13. William Macy Wild Hogs Marisa Tomei George
  14. Yes. The Vince Vance and the Valiants version. <iframe width="764" height="573" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/w8HWHd0EYJA" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> All I Want for Christmas Is You George
  15. Up, Up, and Away "Take back the holly and mistletoe, silver bells on string. If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus, I would ask for just one thing..." (Hint: this song was very popular around 1990. A song with the same name has been a monster hit for the last few years.) George
  16. Darn it! I'm SURE I know this one, but I'm blanking. George
  17. Yes. It was five consecutive episodes of Flash, but with cameos of varying length and importance from LoT, Batwoman, Supergirl, Black Lightning, and Arrow. There were two main villains. One was often seen on the show; the other was a DC villain not previously seen in the Arrowverse. Another minor villain had the same name as an old Justice League villain, but with a different gender and power set. George
  18. Binged "Armageddon." Not so much a cross-over as Flash episodes with guest cameos. Episode 1 Ray Palmer. Episode 2 Alex Danvers. Episode 3 Black Lightning, Batwoman, and Ryan Choi. Episode 4 Batwoman, Choi, Danvers. Episode 5 Mia Smoak, Nora Darhk. There are also appearances by other Flash team members and villains. Most of the action is resolved by the end of episode 4; 5 is largely interpersonal touch-feely stuff. I did enjoy the appearance of some old Justice League villains. George
  19. Well, I wouldn't have gotten the performer's name, anyway; but yes, I can "hear" Stand Tall. George
  20. Kodachrome "You come on like a dream, peaches and cream..." George
  21. It couldn't (be anyone other than BW). You're up. George
