Something else about Supergirl: I'm amazed that the President's executive order of amnesty for aliens wasn't overturned in the courts. And now that it's been revealed that she's a Durlan and was not ever eligible to BE President, pretty much every EO should be tossed out. (Even if she WAS Lynda Carter.) George

So, new season. Flash: Wally gone, for all intents and purposes, so now we have XS and a weird family dynamic. And yet another version of Welles. Black Lightning: I still have trouble following this one, but the effects are good. Legends of Tomorrow: I like the addition of Constantine. The stories seem sillier every season, though. I don't mind light-hearted stuff, but not every week. (The first few seasons of Supernatural were good about alternating goofy with serious.) My understanding is that LoT will not be part of this year's cross-over. Arrow: Apparently, we've had enough of flashbacks; now they're all flash-forwards. I admit that it took me a while to get that. I wasn't sure why they had a different, older actor to play William. I hope Ollie doesn't spend ALL season in prison. Supergirl: Certainly the most liberal of the shows. I wonder if it's coincidence that the main alien-haters are all white, and mostly white men. I'm glad that J'onn J'onzz is still a major character, and even goes "full Martian" from time to time. Having Dox as a regular instead of Wynn works for me. Your thoughts? (Or will I have to wait until you all binge at the end of the season?) George

If I'm not mistaken, the product placement was a Whopper. I seem to recall Downey mentioning that he realized he was at the bottom of the barrel while he was eating one, and decided to clean up his act. George

Not to mention that I said "Name the actress" George

You are correct. I think a re-make was done, with the "boy" in question being black, though in the original he was Puerto Rican. What does it mean to "pretend to use these quotes"? So, are you up; or are you asking me to go again? George

"Let me ask you this: Do you really think the boy'd shout out a thing like that so the whole neighborhood could hear him? I don't think so - he's much too bright for that." "Bright? He's a common ignorant slob. He don't even speak good English." "He *doesn't* speak good English." "Here's what I think happened: the old man heard the fight between the boy and his father a few hours earlier. Then, when he's lying in his bed, he heard a body hit the floor in the boy's apartment, heard the woman scream from across the street, got to his front door as fast as he could, heard somebody racing down the stairs and *assumed* it was the boy!" "It's always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And wherever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth. I don't really know what the truth is." George

"Wacky Races"? George

Masters of the Universe? George

It is, in fact. One of about seven "X and Y" movies he did. (FYI, I think "Sleeper" and "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" were both funnier than L & D.) George

My favorite exchange from the film: "How did you get to be such a marvelous lover?" "By practicing a lot, when I'm alone." George

Jesus? George

Since we know the star... Woody Allen was working on a script about two New Yorkers who try to solve a murder when he got stuck. When blocked, Allen noticed a book on Russian History at his home. As the deadline was fast approaching for delivery of a contracted screenplay, Allen got inspired and decided to spoof the genre of Russian novel and history for this movie instead, putting the other script on the back-burner. As such, the other script was not finished until later, but it eventually became Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993). The wheat scene with towards the end of the film is a direct visual parody of Ingmar Bergman's classic Persona (1966). The juxtaposition of faces is an homage to Bergman's trademark shots. The philosophical "babble" between the characters (e.g. "subjectivity is objective") actually comes from the writing of Russian philosophers G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky, as does the title of this film. The star/director has said that this film was "my funniest picture to that time." I disagree. I can think of at least two funnier ones. In an interview with 'Esquire' magazine, the star once said of the making of this movie: "When good weather was needed, it rained. When rain was needed, it was sunny. The cameraman was Belgian, his crew French. The underlings were Hungarian, the extras were Russian. I speak only English - and not really that well. Each shot was chaos. By the time my directions were translated, what should have been a battle scene ended up as a dance marathon. In scenes where [my co-star] and I were supposed to stroll as lovers, Budapest suffered its worst weather in twenty-five years". The film began development at Fox and was intended to be their one of their big Christmas 1974 releases. Eventually, it went into turnaround to United Artists due to their relationship with the star, who wouldn't make a film for Fox for almost thirty years. George

No idea, though both of you obviously know what's going on. On a separate note, has anyone "seen" Human, lately? George

B was a Dr. Phibes movie. I think the first one was called "The Abominable Dr. Phibes." I actually remember seeing it in a theater with a high school buddy (he was into horror flicks). George
