  1. There have not been a lot of portrayals of Tomas de Torquemada. George
  2. I remember watching "Real People" one night, and there was a segment about a lady in Texas who stayed up all night on her CB, talking with truckers. Once each quarter, she would also have a buffet set up, so the truckers could come in and eat. A priest came in, aided by a cane, whose handle was "Holy Roller." While the focus was on someone else, I heard the lady ask him, "Juraschek?" As it happens, I had a first cousin, once removed, a Father Juraschek, who had injured his foot in a hunting accident. (My grandfather and one of his brothers changed their names from Juraschek to St. George. As far as I know, all the other relatives who came to America kept the old surname.) I had only met Fr. Juraschek once, when I was about 10. I called my parents to see if they had seen the episode. They had, but completely missed our relative. Oh, well. New one soon. George
  3. Hint: Sam and Suzie are rodents (but not rats or mice). Love kept them together. George
  4. Odds and ends: The new Batwoman will be Javicia Leslie, who out-diversity-es Ruby Rose by being black, as well as bisexual. She won't be playing Kate Kane, so it will be interesting to see how all of the other relationships on the show will change. Although there were tensions on the set, Rose gives an injury sustained in filming as the main reason for leaving. Stargirl finished its first season in fine form. One has to suspend a lot of disbelief to accept that a group of inexperienced teen-agers could do what the actual JSA could not; but the show was fun and has a good tie-in for next season (which won't be until next year). I wonder when the next season of the other shows will begin. Will Stargirl be part of the crossover? Agents of SHIELD has its final, two-hour, episode tonight. This season has been very good. George
  5. Probably pretty high. I saw it recently on cable, and they do tend to play the same movies several times a month (especially since there aren't any NEW movies). George
  6. It wasn't their biggest hit (by a long shot); but it did pretty well. George
  7. I had heard it. Some of the lines I could "hear" in my head. The current song is from the early 70's. Husband and wife team. I had SUCH a crush on her... George
  8. Correct. The Empire's space ship "transformed" into a giant maid robot, to remove the atmosphere from a planet. Shortly thereafter, it would go "from suck to blow." George
  9. Heath Ledger Monsters Ball Halle Berry George
  10. Body Heat Kathleen Turner War of the Roses George
  11. Right. And the opening song was "Welcome Back" by John Sebastian. George
  12. Yes. "That's Incredible" + "(The) Incredible Mr. Limpet" You're up.
  13. Conspiracy Theory Julia Roberts Erin Brockovich George
  14. Carnal Knowledge Ann-Margret Tommy George
  15. Nibbling on bacon Chewing on cheese Sam says to Suzie Honey, would you please be my Mrs Suzie says yes with her kisses Now, he's tickling her fancy Rubbing her toes Muzzle to muzzle Now anything goes as they wriggle Sue starts to giggle George
  16. Seabiscuit Tobey Maguire The Cider House Rules George
  17. In this TV movie, real people do strange things, including a man turning into a fish. George
  18. Groucho Marx was to make a cameo appearance in the episode "Sadie Hawkins Day". The planned scene was the star doing his frequent impression of Marx, then Marx appearing with his reaction. But when the 86-year-old Marx arrived on the set, it was decided that he was too weak to perform and the scene was scrapped. Marx posed for publicity photos with the cast but they were never released due to his frail appearance. The original title of the series was to be simply a single word (the main character's name); but that was before the composer had difficulty writing the theme song lyrics. He couldn't find enough rhyming words for the title. Giving up on that tack, he decided to compose lyrics that illustrated the premise of the show (a man returning to his home town). The producers were so impressed with the song that they decided to change the series title to include the song's title. The song was also released on a single which went to #1 on the charts. George
  19. "I'm in love for the last time in my life." "I'm in love for the first time in my life." "Stay to supper?" "I won't do that unless I'm still here at breakfast." "How do you like your eggs?" (Putting candles on a birthday cake) "Okay, what is it? How old are you?" "Just set the damn thing on fire!" "My friends have overlooked my shortcomings, seen me through some dark days, and brightened up the rest of them. I'm glad to have them; I'm honored to have them; I'm lucky to have them. " "You are a miserable little son of a bitch, you know that? I don't know why she took you in the house... I'd bed you down with the dogs! And I'll tell you something else, mister, you may be a lot younger and stronger, but you're about to get your a$$ kicked from here to the state line... and I'm wearin' the boots that can do it!" "You're a feisty old booger, aren't ya." "I thought we just settled that!" "I'm a widower. That's like catnip to a cat, in a town where the ladies outnumber you ten to one." George
  20. But when I gave the name of his characters in The Misfits (Gay Langland) and It Happened One Night (Peter Warne), you didn't recognize them. I really enjoyed IHON, but I couldn't tell you the character's name. But say "Rhett Butler," and everyone knows who it is. George
