It is, indeed. ;) George

"Hello. My name is James St. John Smythe. I'm English." "I never would have guessed." "May I remind you that this operation was to be conducted discreetly. All it took was six million Francs in damages and penalties for violating most of the Napoleonic Code." "Well, under the circumstances, sir, I thought it MORE IMPORTANT to identify the assassin." "For centuries alchemists tried to make gold from base metals. Today, we make microchips from sillicon, which is common sand, but far better than gold. Now, for several years, we had a profitable partnership, you as manufacturers, while I acquired and passed on to you industrial information that made you competitive, succesful. We are now on the unique position to form an international cartel to control not only production, but distribution of these microchips. There is one obstacle - Silicon Valley in San Francisco." George

An ambitious reporter gets in way-over-his-head trouble while investigating a senator's assassination which leads to a vast conspiracy involving a mad industrialist who plans to create a worldwide microchip monopoly by destroying California's Silicon Valley. Starring Warren Beatty, Paula Prentiss, Roger Moore, and Christopher Walken. George

Josh Brolin W Richard Dreyfuss George

I remember the song rather well, but no movie in which to find it. Wild guess "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"? George

"Parenthood"? George

I'll be gone until Sunday night. FREE POST George

I'll be gone until Sunday night, so... "Mr. President" starred George C. Scott "Agent X" starred Sharon Stone. FREE POST! George

You are correct, Sir! George

I'll be out of touch until Sunday night. FREE POST! George

Malkovich gave it away. "In the Line of Fire." George

Well, there are those, too... George

This might be a little tougher. I'm trying to use one that hasn't been done on this thread yet, but isn't a musical. You're the Best George

These two short-lived TV shows featured movie stars in perhaps their only starring TV (series) roles. Both involved intrigues in Washington, DC. Name either one. George C. Scott stars as President Samuel Tresch, whose wife mysteriously leaves him. From the late 1980's. I've already essentially given the title. Also featured Conrad Bain and Madeline Kahn Sharon Stone as Vice President Natalie Maccabee, guardian of a special copy of the Constitution. Ran last year. This special, "original" version of the Constitution includes a section in Article 2 empowering a secret operative to carry out covert operations, under the direction of the VP. The show's title refers to the operative, not the VP. Also starring Gerald McRaney, Jeff Hephner, and John Shea. George

"The Blues Brothers" comes to mind immediately. Not sure of the other one. George

Unless it's a triple (is the mock trial part of Cadillac Man?), it should then be Cadillac Man of La Mancha George

I got the Man of La Mancha part. It's the rest that I'm not getting. George

Of course. George

"The Sound of Music"? George

In that case, I think "If I Only Had a Heart" might be more apropos. :lol: George

That's just plain right. George

By the way, we wouldn't mind another player or two in the game threads... Just sayin'. George

I have not yet seen Resurgence, and it may be a couple of weeks before I do. That said, if the original Independence Day writers were planning a sequel, I doubt they would have waited 20 years to release it, so I guess we just have to deal with the "orb" non-sequitur. (Maybe they'll release a new "Director's cut" of the original, with orbs, orbs, everywhere.) I don't watch movies in 3D. Long story short, I only use one eye at a time (both work, it's a mental thing), so there's no point in spending the extra bucks for a special effect I won't perceive. I don't mind being in mostly-empty theaters. In fact, it's why I never see a film on its opening weekend. Not even "Green Lantern." :o I think it's insane to stand in line for hours to see a movie that I can just walk into, the following week, and pick my seat. George

Stop by any time, T-Bone! And Tonto, too, if she's so inclined. George
