  1. It's just hard to picture Peter Cushing and Rowan Atkinson performing the same role. George
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. "What's My Line?" (?) Never mind. That's a question. George
  5. It almost sounds like "Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me!"; but that's a radio show. George
  6. The Professional Jean Reno Godzilla (1998) George
  7. You are found. My next clues would have been Alfred Pennyworth and Simon Gruber. You're up! George
  8. Humbert Humbert Charles Swann Rodrigo Borgia G.H. Hardy Rene Gallimard F. Scott Fitzgerald Ed Phoerum George
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. "In the end, you will walk out. Because 100,000 Englishmen simply cannot control 350 million Indians, if those Indians refuse to cooperate." George
  12. Well, since former is an adjective, it would have to modify a noun, and the only one in the sequence is grad, so it's OK, I guess. (It would have had to have been formerly to modify marked and avoided.) Perhaps the addition of commas would have helped: "former, marked and avoided, 2nd Corps grad." Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled thread... George
  13. No, again. Let's make it easier. This sequel to a very famous 1968 film, released in 1984, refers to the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Beijing was, of course, the site of the 2008 Summer Games, but this wasn't decided until 2001. (Better than "Back to the Future"s prediction of a Cubs World Championship in 2015!) Not all of the predictions were as accurate, though, as references to PanAm, the Soviet Union, and even the Astrodome (as a site for baseball) were long gone by the time depicted in the movie. The Russian spaceship "Aleksei Leonov" was named after the first man to perform extra-vehicular activity in space. The ship became the model for Omega-class destroyers in the TV show Babylon 5. At the beginning of the film - where the sun was rising behind the radio telescope array - the sequence was actually filmed at sunset (facing west) and run in reverse. The director had all models and sets from the original film destroyed to prevent their reuse, thus the model of the spaceship Discovery had to be constructed from pictures. Keir Dullea and Douglas Rain are the only actors to reprise their roles from the original film. Helen Mirren's Character is Tanya Kirbuk, her last name is a backwards representation of "Kubrick". George
  14. So...you're no longer marked and avoided? George
  15. Actually, It's a bit of a let down. I had heard mention that it was Ronnie Raymond, which would have made Caitlyn's response to seeing him more believable. (Is it a spoiler to rule out someone who probably wasn't considered by most?) Where's the Spear of Destiny when you need it? George
  16. Humbert Humbert Charles Swann Rodrigo Borgia G.H. Hardy George
  17. No. This futuristic movie, released in 1984, refers to the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Beijing was, of course, the site of the 2008 Summer Games, but this wasn't decided until 2001. (Better than "Back to the Future"s prediction of a Cubs World Championship in 2015!) Not all of the predictions were as accurate, though, as references to PanAm, the Soviet Union, and even the Astrodome (as a site for baseball) were long gone by the time depicted in the movie.

  18. With Raf's comment on "What Character Said..." I'm going to guess Alan Rickman George
