  1. On Golden Pond? I think Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn won Oscars. Jane did not. Peter wasn't in it. Henry probably did not do another movie. George
  2. Paper Moon? Other than it starred Ryan O'Neal and his daughter Tatum, I have no idea if it meets any of the other requirements. (I don't even know if O'Neal has a son.) George
  3. Batwoman's season was also COVID-shortened. The "finale" seemed a bit more natural than Flash's. George
  4. Green Lantern, if it comes to pass, will be on HBOMax. The good news (for me) is that it will be free for those with DIRECTTV. COVID-19 has made an episode of Flash into a cliffhanger season finale, as the last three episodes didn't get finished. Supergirl's season finale was also sort of a cliffhanger, but I think it was planned. Stargirl starts on Tuesday (Monday on streaming services). I don't know if they'll use the Crisis as a way to explain the existence of the Justice Society. I kind of hope they do. In the comics, the JSA were retconned into Earth-1 history after the Crisis. Is it just my imagination, or is the Arrowverse becoming female-dominant. All the male heroes (except, of course, Flash) seem to be going away, while female heroes are joining in. There are still BAD male characters, of course... George
  5. I'm going to turn over all the cards, here. "12 Monkeys" FREE POST George
  6. No. SyFy had a TV show based on this movie that ran four seasons. "There's no right, there's no wrong, there's only popular opinion." "Hey... is that the cops? I'm an innocent victim in here! I was attacked by a coked up whore and a - a f--kin' crazy dentist!" "Oh, wouldn't it be great if I *was* crazy? Then the world would be okay. " "Jose - psst! Jose, what's going on?" "Bad news, man." "Volunteers?" "Yeah. And they said your name....Hey, maybe they'll give you a pardon, man." "Yeah, that's why none of the volunteers come back. They all get a pardon." "Kathryn, you're a rational person. You're a trained psychiatrist. You know the difference between what's real and what's not." "And what we say is the truth is what everybody accepts. Right, Owen? I mean, psychiatry: it's the latest religion. We decide what's right and wrong. We decide who's crazy or not. I'm in trouble here. I'm losing my faith." "I don't really come from outer space." "Oh. L. J. Washington. He doesn't really come from outer space." "Don't mock me my friend. It's a condition of mental divergence. I find myself on the planet Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate the barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though this is a totally convincing reality for me in every way, nevertheless Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent, in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well. Are you also divergent, friend?" "You know what crazy is? Crazy is majority rules. Take germs, for example." "Germs?" "Uh-huh. In the eighteenth century, no such thing, nada, nothing. No one ever imagined such a thing. No sane person, anyway. Ah! Ah! Along comes this doctor, uh, uh, uh, Semmelweis, Semmelweis. Semmelweis comes along. He's trying to convince people, well, other doctors mainly, that's there's these teeny tiny invisible bad things called germs that get into your body and make you sick. Ah? He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. What is this guy? Crazy? Teeny, tiny, invisible? What do you call it? Uh-uh, germs? Huh? What? Now, cut to the 20th century. Last week, as a matter of fact, before I got dragged into this hellhole. I go in to order a burger in this fast food joint, and the guy drops it on the floor. Jim, he picks it up, he wipes it off, he hands it to me like it's all OK. "What about the germs?" I say. He says, "I don't believe in germs. Germs is just a plot they made up so they can sell you disinfectants and soaps." Now he's crazy, right? See?" "Cassandra in Greek legend, you recall, was condemned to know the future but to be disbelieved when she foretold it. Hence the agony of foreknowledge combined with the impotence to do anything about it." "...5 billion people will die from a deadly virus in 1997... /... The survivors will abandon the surface of he planet... /... Once again the animals will rule the world... / - Excerpts from interview with clinically diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, April 12, 1990 - Baltimore County Hospital." George
  7. Nope. I thought the last one would give it away. Maybe a slight modification: Fielding Carlyle Robert Caldwell Sam Crawford Freddy Shoop Jay Austin Billy Wyatt John Dillinger Dicky Cobb Sheriff Johnny Behan Jack Black Charlie Grace Jack McNeil Simon Donavan James Foster Leroy Jethro Gibbs George
  8. The star of this popular show was also the star of another popular show, 18 years earlier. (The first show ended 18 years before this one began.) The star played a widower, as he had in the prior show. His co-star from the prior series was a semi-regular on this show, for four of the nine seasons. The star of this show, in character, always wore cheap suits and ate hot dogs, although he was well-to-do. This was explained, two years after the show ended, when he guest-starred on ANOTHER show, THIS one starring an actor who also had a popular show about the same time as the earlier one with the star of the show in question. (In fact, when I was growing up, the shows were shown back-to-back in syndication in Chicago.) During the third season, Kene Holiday missed a total of seven episodes, because he was in rehab for drug and alcohol abuse. By the time he was three months sober, he had been fired from the show. Long before Nancy Stafford, Clarence Gilyard Jr. and Daniel Roebuck joined the cast, respectively, the 3 were all lifelong fans of the star, from watching his show as children. George

  11. Well, at least the site's back up. I presume I'm not the only one who couldn't get in for the past few days. George
  12. "Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand. Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man." That line seems familiar, but I'm still not getting it. George

  15. Usual disclaimer: I may have heard a song numerous times without ever actually listening to the words. George

  17. They might be Springsteen songs, but I don't recognize them. George
  18. Don't kill yourself trying to remember the name. Consult with your team, if you need to. I only know of three Margot Robbie films. I was thinking it was the "sequel," but that didn't have a couple of the actors you initially mentioned. Silly of me not to try the obvious one, first. George
  19. I think that among Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Vincent Price, you could probably link to any horror movie from the late 60s through the early 70s. George
  20. The Tick was looking for a rallying cry. His sidekick, Arthur, suggested, "Not in the face! Not in the face!" to which Tick responded, "Hmmm. Lacks force." Then, picking up a spoon from the table, he had an epiphany: "SPOON!!!!!" New one soon. George
