When Clint Eastwood made the comedy Every Which Way but Loose (1978), this actor reportedly said to him, "Clint, you're getting into my territory [comedy], and if it's a success, I'm going out and make 'Dirty Harry Goes to Atlanta'!". When this movie went into production, Eastwood sent a telegram to the actor saying, "You really weren't kidding, were you?" This was Rachel Ward's first major motion picture. (She was not the star.) She was cast six days before shooting began. The director likened it to starting filming on "King Kong" without having the gorilla. The romantic sub-plot of this movie's storyline has been likened to that of the classic 'film noir' Laura (1944). The Orion Pictures studio acquired the film rights to William Diehl's source novel of the same name for a reported US $400,000 according to the 10th January 1979 edition of show-business trade paper Daily Variety. The picture often played on a double-bill, such as in second runs and at drive-ins, with Mickey Spillane's "I, the Jury" (1982), as both had 18+ classification certificates, and both were distributed by Warner Brothers in certain territories. Quotes from the star, who also directed: "Most directors cast actors on the basis of what they've seen before, and they don't want surprises; they want the actor to give another version of what he's already done. I try to do the opposite. I tell the actors, 'You've done that before, so let's go for something else.' On this picture I did with my actors what I always wanted other directors to do with me, which is to say, 'O.K., I have what I want, now you do what you want.' Sometimes magical things happen that way. I had lots of ideas, but I was open to any ideas the actors had. There really was a wonderful feeling of camaraderie" "In my picture the good guys win and the bad guys, the dopers, lose. That's important to me: I don't like dopers. I get mad as hell when I hear that studios are coddling actors who are always high on cocaine." George

WW is up. George

Okay, then. Sean Kenney Anson Mount Bruce Greenwood George

Still don't know. George

I was thinking (B) might be Joker's Wild, but that was actually about slot machines, not cards. Could (D) be something like "Fire Pit"? George

My TV provider (DirectTV) spent over a month negotiating with our local CBS station after the previous contract expired, meaning I couldn't watch several of my favorite shows. (I think CW and CBS account for about 95% of my viewing.) This included ST Discovery, the first season of which was airing on CBS late last fall, because new shows were late in coming. Anyway, I signed on to CBS All Access, one-week free trial, to catch up on all the shows I missed. As well as Discovery, I also watched some Picard and the cartoon Lower Decks. I liked them enough to renew my CBS subscription. (DirectTV and KHOU have worked out their differences. My comments: Discovery: Odd that they went to the Mirror Universe in the first season, but it worked, with some nice surprises. The characters are interesting. I just hope we get to see more backstory on the bridge crew. I've seen a few episodes from Season 2. Still holding my interest. Picard: I've only seen two episodes. It seems a bit plodding, although it might be starting to pick up. Lower Decks: I like it! It's funny, with all sorts of homages to other ST shows. The half-hour episodes also mean they're watchable without needing to dedicate a lot of time. Hard to imagine a Captain having her daughter in her chain of command, but the conflict between the two is quite believable. George

I think that's Simon Pegg, second from left. "Hot Fuzz"? George

I can think of several BF movies, but I can't think of the names of his co-stars. George

D) is obviously based on a game that pretty much every child has played, that the floor is somehow deadly (maybe a pool of sharks, or a pit of snakes), and that the room must be traversed by hopping from one piece of furniture to another. (Not a game most parents are fond of.) I don't have Netflix, so I don't know the show's title. Adults acting like kids could be fun to watch, though. George

Normally, I wouldn't give you two choices, but yes, it's Seth Rogen. The Green Hornet would have been the next clue. George

I don't think so. Some times, a couple of actors appear in several movies. Without actually checking, I'm saying No. At least, it isn't the person I'm thinking of.

Not really familiar, though I'm experiencing a ghost of a memory. I've probably heard it, but I don't know it. George

I thought I didn't know this one. Now I'm certain. George

C) seems very similar to the NPR (radio) show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me." Don't really recognize any of them, yet. George

Looks like some sort of Euro-Ghostbusters. George

That's It. George

"When you start to get into trouble, I will say, 'Perhaps I can be of assistance?' From then on, I do the talking. You stand behind me. And don't appear distracted. We may come from a fragmented, MTV rap-video culture, but they do not. Every aspect of your appearance and behavior will reflect on you, the Department, and me as your sempai." "My sempai?" "Mm." "That wouldn't be 'massa', would it?" "No. The sempai is the senior man who guides the junior man, the kohai. In Japan, the sempai-kohai relationship is presumed to exist when the younger man and the older man work together. Hopefully, they will presume that of us." "Golf tomorrow at noon?" "At noon, yes." "This time, I will try to make it harder for you to let me win." "Tough neighborhoods are America's last advantage. " "We're the good guys. Why are we running?" "We're not running. We're eluding." "Perhaps I may suggest a strategy. Don't stare at these guys. Keep your hands down. These guys don't like big arm movements. They might shoot you. Keep your voice calm... Better still, don't say s-it. If you hear me say "Can I be of any assistance?"... ..it's too late. You can kiss your little a$$ goodbye." "If we only had the original disk, we could see what happened after that." "Exactly. You catch on fast, Lieutenant Smith." "Yeah, I do." George
