  1. Unless, of course, you consider the aftermath. Apparently, it was the remnants of Barry merging with a stationary front in Texas that caused the once-in-a century flooding in Kerr County. George
  2. In that case... "You got a thing about you I just can't live without you I really want you..." "Your looks intoxicate me Even though your folks hate me There's no one like you..." George
  3. The Carol Burnett Show? George
  4. It might also have to do with the position of this thread on the homepage. George
  5. All I'm getting from these quotes is a corny Southern accent. "Green Acres"? George
  6. Are you offering a Free Post, or are you preparing us for your next one? George
  7. "Cold Case"? That show was about recalling past events to solve an unsolved crime (usually murder). Junior could have played his dad in the flashbacks. (I'm not sure if Senior was still alive when Cold Case ran, though,) George
  8. Chantal should have some moderate impact on the Carolinas and Virginia: i: George
  9. No. I thought this would be easy, but I doubt there are any quotes more familiar than these from THE PATRIOT. FREE POST!! George
  10. This sounds familiar, but I don't know it. George
  11. I suspect that Raf is pointing out that the person in question is HOT. Vigilante I.C.U. The Wolf of Wall Street Whiskey Tango Foxtrot The Legend of Tarzan I, Tonya Mary Queen of Scots Once upon a Time...in Hollywood Bombshell Suicide Squad Birds of Prey Barbie George
  12. He was, but he wasn't in ALL of them. The next round will be the giveaway, if no one gets it before then. George
  13. I don't remember the first line ever appearing in "The Honeymooners," but it was always Gleason's introduction to the main show after his preliminary "coffee" cup monologue. Of course, for a few years, TJGS featured Honeymooners skits. George
  14. That is correct. I remember watching it and getting a kick out of some of the tongue-in-cheek humor. As far as I know, it's the only show starring Desi Arnaz, JUNIOR. George
  15. That's the one. We played "Colonel Bogey March" in band a couple of years ago. The director thought it was funny that the program notes still refer to BOTRK, a movie that come out before most of the audience was born. George
  16. Correct. My next quote would have been "Leapin' lizards!" George
  17. Barry came and went while I was sleeping, too. George
  18. Vigilante I.C.U. The Wolf of Wall Street Whiskey Tango Foxtrot The Legend of Tarzan I, Tonya Mary Queen of Scots Once upon a Time...in Hollywood Bombshell George
  19. "I guess they're dead. I guess I've known that deep down for a long time." "I'm not giving up. Don't you give up." "I didn't want to be just another orphan. I wanted to believe I was special." "You are special! Never stop believing that!" "You spend your evenings in the shanties." "You had me followed." "Imbibing quarts of bathtub gin." "Bronchitism." "And here you're dancing in your scanties..." "Great gams." "With some old geezer called Little Caeser." "He's an uncle." "Absolutely not! I'm a businessman. I love money, I love power, I love capitalism. I do not now and never will love children." "What are you just standing around here for? You're supposed to clean the bathroom and the kitchen before lunch, my little pig droppings, and if you skip the corners, there will be no lunch. And we're not having hot mush today." "Yay!" "We're having cold mush!" George
  20. Expectations of Allied POWS in this WWII movie were that Japan should have honored the Geneva Convention. Actually, Japan wasn't a signatory to the treaty until 1953. (Interestingly, misdeeds by the Japanese prompted revision of the treaty in 1949.) The commandant of the prison was portrayed as being ruthless. According to many of his prisoners after the war, the actual Japanese officer on whom the role was based was one of the more humane and reasonable ones. To keep costs down, producer Sam Spiegel decided not to hire any extras, using crew members and Ceylon locals instead. This meant that some of the British prisoners were really natives of the region wearing make-up to appear Caucasian. For the scene when he emerges from "the oven" after several days confined there, Sir Alec Guinness based his faltering walk on that of his son Matthew when he was recovering from polio. Guinness regarded this one tiny scene as some of the finest work he did throughout his entire career. Sir Laurence Olivier was offered Guinness's part but turned it down in order to direct The Prince and the Showgirl (1957) instead. In retrospect, Olivier said that it was a sensible decision to go off and do love scenes with Marilyn Monroe rather than tough it out in the jungles of Ceylon with director Sir David Lean. For those who haven't seen the movie, it is best remembered by the whistled march tune it features. George
