  1. An Earl isn't exactly a Duke, but Rissk translates well to Hazzard, so I'll give it to you. The car not only had the Confederate flag on it, but it was also called the General Lee. Ah, simpler times! And, of course, short-short jeans are still called "Daisy Dukes." WW's up. George
  2. An assassin relives the same 24 hours, over and over, each time slightly varying his attempt to kill President De Gaulle. George
  3. So, "tardis" is an acronym. Live and learn! George
  4. This wildly popular show (at the time) would probably not even be produced today, as it frequently displayed iconography which is out of style, today. Speaking of style, one of the characters' outfits were so popular that they are still referred today by that character's name. (And, thankfully, that outfit is still popular.) George
  5. "Constantine" is correct. "1998" was a typo. I meant "1988," which is when "Hellblazer" appeared, though, as you point out, Constantine first appeared in Swamp Thing in 1984. "Hellblazer" was thought to be too similar to "Hellboy," so "Contantine" was picked as the title. I REALLY prefer Matt Ryan's take to Keanu Reeves's. You're up! George
  6. I got the "Who's the Boss" part immediately. I was trying to link "Boss" or "Who's" (forgetting that it could just be "Who"). Also, I didn't realize that Dr. Who was an alien, although it makes sense. From the dozen or so episodes I've seen, I just sort of assumed he was some sort of enhanced human. New one soon. George
  7. I know half of it (isn't that ALWAYS the way?); but I can't get the other half. (And neither the first or last word of the part I know is helping.) George
  8. I only know two movies with Missi Pyle. Here's one: "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" George
  9. The title character of the film has been around since 1998, in various media. A TV version had a star who, IMHO, was much more true to the character than the movie star. The movie's original title was too similar to "Hellboy," which came out about the same time. This was thought to be likely to hurt ticket sales, so the title was changed. The look of Hell was based on old footage of nuclear tests, specifically the sudden shockwave immediately after the blast that disintegrated anything in its path, hence the crumbling landscape. Kevin Spacey and Mel Gibson were touted for the title role, but it went to a younger (but still quite well-known) actor. The tattoo on the star's arms is the alchemical symbol of the Red King, which was worn (by him) for protection. It is "the fire triangle with three radiating arrows below represents the 'Perfect Red King,' the Sulfur of the Philosophers." According to an interview with The A.V. Club published on August 28, 2017, Peter Stormare came up with his own costume design for the appearance of Lucifer - the off white linen suit with tar dripping down from his feet are specifically mentioned. The producer and director had initially wanted "leather pants, bare-chested...a dog collar with spikes" and tattoos over Stormare's face and chest. In addition to the title role, the movie stars Rachael Weisz, Shia Lebeouf, Peter Stormare, Djimon Hounsou, and Tilda Swinton. When the title character attempts suicide, he cuts his left wrist, and Lucifer reaches out to claim him with his left hand, in keeping with the traditional depiction of the left ("sinister") side being associated with evil.

  10. Well, the VIDEO is "Rocket Man." I still don't recognize the song. George
  11. Not enough, yet. Though that's to be expected, of course. George
  12. Only one show comes to mind. Star Trek. (The original pilot, "The Cage," was repurposed as the two-part "The Menagerie.") George
  13. Seems Like Old Times Goldie Hawn Private Benjamin George
  14. Yes. He's done a lot of roles with the first name Richard or Dick. Had to try to avoid most of them (as well as Bert the Chimneysweep)! You're up. George
  15. It is, indeed. I suspect that John Belushi would have given it away immediately, maybe even John Vernon. George
  16. Yes. Kramer was the character with too much applause. Jason Alexander said the show wouldn't do well, because it was targeted to those like him. You're up! George
  17. And no one else's, fortunately. George
  18. And we're back to the Nostalgia Thread. George
  19. Kevin Bacon Tom Hulce Mark Metcalf Donald Sutherland Karen Allen James Daughton George
  20. Robin Crusoe Caractacus Potts Claude R. Fitzwilliam Dick Burgess Mark Sloan Richard Harmon George
  21. You are, indeed. Not his usual fare, but it was possibly his best-selling single. George
  22. When I was a little bitty boy My grandmother bought me a cute little toy Silver bells hanging on a string You know, then mama took me to Sunday school They tried to teach me the golden rule Everytime that choir would sing Once I was climbing the garden wall I slipped and had a terrible fall I fell so hard, I heard bells ring Once, I was swimmin' 'cross Turtle Creek Man, them snappers all around my feet Sure was hard swimmin' 'cross that thing This little song, it ain't so sad The cutest little song you ever had Those of you who will not sing George
