"It was the third of September" George

Since we didn't get one yesterday, I'll offer three today: mercurial, jovial, and saturnine mercurial: adj. liable to sudden unpredictable change; "erratic behavior"; "fickle weather"; "mercurial twists of temperament"; "a quicksilver character, cool and willful at one moment, utterly fragile the next" jovial: adj. gay; merry; joyous; jolly; mirth-inspiring; hilarious; characterized by mirth or jollity. saturnine: adj. heavy; grave; gloomy; dull; showing a brooding ill humor; "a dark scowl"; a morose and unsociable manner. Martindale's behavior was mercurial: he could be grandly jovial one minute and profoundly saturnine the next.

Two songs come to mind, but I'll go with "A Boy Named Sue" (Johnny Cash) George

Yeah. What he said. :) George

It seems that Excie wishes that everyone coming to GS could have the deliverance that she did. A laudable desire, but not really achievable, I think. We all have different amounts of "baggage" when we come here, and some may find the forums here too much to take, or just not specific enough for their needs. Some may just need a lot more time. That said, I contend that there is as much diversity of opinion here as would be found anywhere. One size may not fit all, but there is a lot of room here! George

Yep. George

"Well, bless my soul! What's wrong with me?" George

Though it made more sense two weeks ago. "I haven't had anything this pure since the Vienna Boys' Choir hit town." "Being a vampire in the 20th century is a nightmare!" "Did we get up on the wrong side of the coffin this evening?" "Tell us what happened, man! Blow by beautiful blow! Did you undress her slowly? Like first, revealing big luscious magoombas?" "Did she have any tattoos or scars or anything?" "I told you I don't remember! If you guys are so interested in my sexual failures, why don't you go have a few of your own?" "Mark doesn't want you because you're mean and evil. He wants me because I am nice and sweet and pure, so f--- off!" "Oh Mark, I can't believe you're going to throw away our relationship on a one-night stand with a chauffeur and a butler and a slut who eats buttons! But you did. You really did!" "Oh, Robin, PLEASE?" "Mark, we've been through this sex thing a million times." "Half way through it a million times. It's what people do when they're in love! It's natural. It's right." "Well it's not natural or right for me to do it in a car." "What about an ice cream truck?" George

Not at all. It was a very well-known movie in the late 70's, notable for nude scenes involving a 12-year old actress. I was in New Orleans this past summer, and spent time in the house where most of the film was shot. George

And the boss died. ;) George

two pics George

five pics, need three names George

That fits, but it's not the movie I was thinking of! Hint: in my movie, there were LOTS of visitors. George

Bull Durham Susan sarandon Pretty Baby George

I'm not sure why a boot would be "UG," but it must be UG (Stan) LEE EB EDDIE "Ugly Betty." Geoge

The f1rst lovely looks familiar, but I'm not getting a name just yet. Otherwise, we have ??? REN DINGS TORI It must be "The Neverending Story." I presume that the first pic is Catherine Deneueve! George

All right. How about this: A guy helps his ex-wife's boss get rid of overbearing visitors. George

"Your Honor, every one of these letters is addressed to Santa Claus. The Post Office has delivered them. Therefore the Post Office Department, a branch of the Federal Governent, recognizes this man Kris Kringle to be the one and only Santa Claus." "Uh, since the United States Government declares this man to be Santa Claus, this court will not dispute it. Case dismissed!" George

Right you are, twinkish one! Whence is correctly an adverb or conjunction, not a pronoun. See, howeverm this note from freedictionary.com" Usage Note: The construction from whence has been criticized as redundant since the 18th century. It is true that whence incorporates the sense of from: a remote village, whence little news reached the wider world. But from whence has been used steadily by reputable writers since the 14th century, most notably in the King James Bible: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help" (Psalms). Such a respectable precedent makes it difficult to label the construction as incorrect. Still, it may be observed that whence (like thence) is most often used nowadays to impart an archaic or highly formal tone to a passage, and that this effect is probably better realized if the archaic syntax of the word without from is preserved as well. George

And a tad sophomoric. Is this an "anyone can post anytime" thread, or are you going to give us a daily treat? George

I would guess that this is the same film as your "Flicks remembered..." answer. Here, as there, though, I can't discern between many films based on the same story. George

Correct (though I think it was actually spelled Arli$$)! Go, Steve!! George

I'm glad to see that SOMEONE still wants to play. CHAIN + GEL + (Bai) LING = "Changeling." Go, Steve!! George

No. Here's a hint: the "cousin" was atrinket that Crodon had with him. George

It's obviously one of the various "Christmas Carol" films, but I couldn't say which. George
