My Cousin Vinny (?) George

M*A*S*H? (I just like using asterisks.) George

“I attended Juilliard. I’m a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I’ve seen The Exorcist about 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it … Not to mention the fact that you’re talking to a dead guy …” George

I think you did this one less than a month ago (Trading Places). Want to go again? George

You are correct! Madison was 5'4" and topped out at 100 lbs. George

Yes. Dragnet was a 50's show, brought back in the 60's. The proposed revival was in 1982, until Jack Webb had a heart attack. (Harry Morgan was in MASH and After MASH at the time.) The "This is the city..." monologue changed to fill available time in the episodes. You're up. George

Yes. George

Actually, it was "Batman v Superman," but close enough. Superman, Batman, and WW join up for the first time to fight Doomsday. George

This version of a popular TV show was a revival of a show from the previous decade, and it (the revival) is the version I remember. A decade after this version ended, the star (and Producer) wanted to do another revival, but his co-star was now committed to two other shows. Other ideas were tested, but no (2nd) revival occurred, as the star died of a heart attack. In numerous episodes, there are references to a police officer named Lt. Klingin. (Usually dealing with polygraph "lie detector" test) This was a real life police officer who would sometimes work as an advisor to the show. FUN FACT: Gene Roddenberry, who created "Star Trek" and worked in the LAPD's public relations department, named the Trek villains "Klingons" after Klingin. According to various actors and behind the scenes personnel who worked on the series, there is a telltale sign at the beginning of every episode whether the story of a particular episode is long or short (I.E.: The story fills a full 30min format or falls short, running about 20mins or less). If the episode content itself was too short, the opening monologue was significantly expanded. If the episode was long, the opening monologue was a short, basic one. George

More presidential trivia. We know that Lincoln was the tallest President (6'4") and that Taft was the heaviest (topping out at 325 lb, but a svelte 280 at the end of his term). One of our Presidents was both the shortest and the lightest. Who was he? Can you guess his height and weight? George

Back soon. George

Still not there. This should help. "Rufus, Brint, and Meekus were like brothers to me. And when I say brother, I don't mean, like, an actual brother, but I mean it like the way black people use it. Which is more meaningful I think." "If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident." "I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot." "There was a moment last night, when she was sandwiched between the two Finnish dwarves and the Maori tribesmen, where I thought, "Wow, I could really spend the rest of my life with this woman"." "I'm sorry that good-looking people like us made you throw up and feel bad about yourself." "Derek, that was unbelievable!" "I know! I turned left!" "Yeah, that too, but Derek, you saved the prime minister of Malaysia!" "Oh, right, cool." "So I'm rappelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. Just falling, ahh ahh, I'll never forget the terror. When suddenly I realize "Holy sh-t, Hansel, haven't you been smoking Peyote for six straight days, and couldn't some of this maybe be in your head?"" "And?" "And it was. I was totally fine. I've never even been to Mount Vesuvius." 1: "Why do you hate models, Matilda?" 2: "Honestly?" 3: "Yes." 2: " I think they're vain, stupid, and incredibly self-centered." 3: "I totally agree with you. But how do you feel about male models?" George

The "she" referred to IS Wonder Woman, but that's not the right movie. George

Let me cogitate a while. George

I Saw Her Standing There "As I walk along, I wonder, What went wrong with our love, a love that was so strong." George

It was a memorable line from a fairly popular movie. It may be more of a WW/Raf type clue. George

Still no. Only live actors in this film. "Rufus, Brint, and Meekus were like brothers to me. And when I say brother, I don't mean, like, an actual brother, but I mean it like the way black people use it. Which is more meaningful I think." "I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting.

Is (B) "Ben Stein's Money"? I don't remember the dunce cap, but I do know that Ben competed against the last-standing contestant in the final round. George

Make it the official state song? George

Chris is a rainmaker for Mexico. George

No. "Rufus, Brint, and Meekus were like brothers to me. And when I say brother, I don't mean, like, an actual brother, but I mean it like the way black people use it.

Day Tripper He's free as the breeze; he's always at ease. He lives in the jungle and hangs by his knees, As he swings through trees without a trapeze, in his BVD's. George

Waysider, two things about this thread: You don't have to give the performer (though it's okay to do so); If you're sure of the answer, just go ahead and post another. (If I'm not sure about an answer I post, I usually end it with a question mark and wait for confirmation.) Mello Yellow was correct, so you're up. George

Taxes? George

Again, I've seen (C) a decade ago, but I can't remember the name. The other three escape me completely. George
