Take it from an old guy who's made plenty of mistakes." "I'd do a lot better just giving all my money away because if I really wanted to end crime, I should end poverty." "You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts." "Time has a pattern that it can't help reliving. Different people, different worlds, drawn to each other like magnets." "So... I guess the plan is to douse yourself with industrial chemicals while electrocuting yourself?" "Yep." "Want some help?" George
  2. This show was originally to be an adventure drama, "Seven Against the Sea." It was re-tooled as a comedy and was very successful. The star of the show originally turned down the role, figuring that as an Oscar-winning actor, TV would have been a bit of a demotion. But when talking with a young boy who didn't recognize him but who could name the stars of several TV shows, he decided to take the part, one for which he is probably best remembered. Movie version of this show appeared in 1997. As these things usually go, the star of the TV show had a cameo role in the film. Though Gavin McLeod had appeared in a number of TV shows before this, this was his first featured (not starring) role. The action takes place during WWII, largely on a PT boat. The top officer on the show was often disparagingly referred to as "old Leadbottom." The star and one of the co-stars became good friends. They later worked together voicing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy on SpongeBob SquarePants George
  3. That was Lois and Clark, but it was also used in Superman and Lois. FREE POST George
  4. Gordon is expected mostly to be away from land: George
  5. Correct. The actual winner that year was Robin Williams for Good Will Hunting. George
  6. It came out a couple of years ago. About Nazi Germany. At least two other pretty recognizable actors. George
  7. I Got You, Babe "I'm gonna tell you a story I'm gonna tell you about my town I'm gonna tell you a big fat story, baby Aw, it's all about my town." George
  8. "What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!" George
  9. Don Cheadle Philip Seymour Hoffman Julianne Moore George
  10. Remarkably, Burt Reynolds has only been nominated once for an Academy Award. It was for Best Supporting Actor for which movie? He did not win. For extra credit, can you name the actor who DID win that year, and for which movie? George
  11. This biopic about a singer had the lead role offered to Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, and Johnny Depp. None of them would likely have done their own singing, but the actor who finally got the part did (and quite well, IMHO). The movie is also a love story. The actual couple were only a few years apart in age, but the actors were over 20 years apart. The actor playing the lead was actually a few years older than the actual singer was when he died. The singer's crush/girlfriend/wife was a famous movie star. She died of kidney cancer two months after the movie was released. Drew Barrymore was considered for the role, but it went to Kate Bosworth. The title of the movie is part of the title of one of the singer's biggest hits. The star (Kevin Spacey) has been accused of several incidents of sexual misconduct, but in every case (so far), charges have been dropped or he has been acquitted. George
  12. Charlie's Angels Sam Rockwell Jojo Rabbit George
  13. Gonna add this one now. Should be Francine by the end of the day. Likely to miss Texas but hit Louisiana: George
