  1. Of course they are. I just meant that a British woman would likely play the role, as opposed to an American (or other) actress. George
  2. Perhaps I should have said "fan of Who(m)." Although I don't recognize those names as being Dr. Who, I do seem to recall, vaguely, that there was one female Doctor, and the Brit, Lumley, could fit the bill. George
  3. Almost certainly a '70s movie. The only one with Valerie Perrine that comes to mind immediately (well, except for the Superman movies) is Slaughterhouse 5, but I don't think Fonda or Jagger were in it. George
  4. That's the problem with quoting from memory, rather than looking it up. "General, would you care to step outside?" George
  5. I guess the question then is, "Fan of what?" Two popular cultural areas of which I have essentially no knowledge are Dr. Who and Harry Potter. (To that, you can add Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, but each of those has essentially one incarnation, so there wouldn't be multiple actors portraying the same role.) We seem to have an impasse, here, unless you've been holding back the REAL obvious one(s). Raf has essentially recused himself; Human doesn't seem to have any idea; and I'm at a loss, as well. George
  6. It's hard to think of a "revisionist" movie description. Otherwise, it's just movie mash-up.
  7. The only ones from the list I can put a face to are Hurt, Cushing, Atkinson, Hugh Grant, and Lumley. The woman, of course, throws a wrench into this, but there are a number of traditionally male roles now being portrayed by women, e.g., Watson and Moriarty on "Elementary." Let's try another "Holmesian" role: Inspector Lastrade? George
  8. With absolutely no influence from Raf's post, I'll guess the Devil (or Lucifer, or Satan, or whatever) George
  9. It's just hard to picture Peter Cushing and Rowan Atkinson performing the same role. George
  10. I thought I responded to this. (Must have hit "Back" instead of "Submit Reply." I do that, sometimes...) I never read "Strange Tales." This reminded ME of Hank Hall becoming Monarch in the Armageddon 2001 stories. Of course, now we know it's not the "real" Flash who becomes Savitar, but a "time remnant." That would have to be the case, because future "real" Flash trapped Savitar without ever learning his identity. Not possible if current Flash, Savitar, and future Flash were the same being. The "Savitar has Barry's memories" thing has brought up all sorts of anomalies. First, when Barry is stripped of his memories, so is Savitar. Why? If Barry never regained his memory, then Savitar would not exist; if Barry does regain his memory, it all happens before Savitar comes to be, so he should retain all of the memories. It's also bizarre that Savitar only remembers something as it happens in real time. Finally, if Barry's memory loss stops Savitar from coming into being and giving Wally super-speed, why would Wally notice that his super-speed was gone, when it never would have existed? I guess it's like Legends of Tomorrow (or other time travel stories), where somehow the person or group who distorts the time stream somehow retains memories of how it "should be." Finally, the most recent Flash (week of 5/15). I did NOT see that coming, though I suppose it could be said that I've seen it since the beginning of the season. As an aside, Danielle Panabaker and Candace Patton were at Comicpalooza, here in Houston, this past weekend. Unfortunately, I didn't get to the con until their discussion panels were over. George
  11. The Breakfast Club Molly Ringwald Sixteen Candles George PS Have you seen Molly on "Riverdale"? She must have put on about 20 pounds for the part.
  12. "What's My Line?" (?) Never mind. That's a question. George
  13. It almost sounds like "Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me!"; but that's a radio show. George
  14. The Professional Jean Reno Godzilla (1998) George
  15. You are found. My next clues would have been Alfred Pennyworth and Simon Gruber. You're up! George
  16. Humbert Humbert Charles Swann Rodrigo Borgia G.H. Hardy Rene Gallimard F. Scott Fitzgerald Ed Phoerum George
  17. It took me a second to recall who John Dunbar was. And you're right, you were wrong. 350 million Indians can't refer to America. George
  18. I knew Robin in her pre-Corps days. Bright, and a real sweetheart. (Easy on the eyes, too.) I think I might have met Rico once or twice after they married. Man, that was long ago! George
