I know this was a Woody Allen film. I think it's "Bananas." George

Raf is correct. George

Rats! It hit me while I was eating dinner that the outfield fence signified "pi." The only movie that came to mind from that was "Pirates of the Caribbean." I presume the plant is carob, and the man is probably Orson Bean. I would have recognized him if the picture were from the '60's or 70's. You're up, Raf.

I haven't any idea. Which means Raf will get it instantly. George

So who's up? George

I wouldn't have gotten it without Sharon's clue, though I was thinking along the lines of "Chicken Run" or "Animal Farm." Forget the fat lady. You're obsessed with the fat lady! George

It sounds an awful lot like "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas," but I had to look up the singer's name (Gayla Peevey), certainly not a household name. George

"Babe"? George

All right Rick. We've been very patient.... George

My wife learned the folly of this statement, probably because when I say it, I mean it. George

I suppose it WOULD have been better to take the lawsuit to full term, win the money from TWI, AND be able to go public with the results. I assume that you're not implying that it's wrong to accept compensation for abuses suffered. George

Jack Lemmon was with Shirley MacLaine in "The Apartment." Shirley was with Peter Sellers in "Being There." Peter was with Deborah Kerr in "Casino Royale." I don't even know if this can be done, but see if you can connect William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy without using ANY Star Trek movies or shows. George

"Batman" Thomas Wayne: Martha, let's take Bruce to a movie tonight. Martha: I'm too tired. Let's stay in and watch TV. George

The file size is meant when it says the picture is "too large." Depending on the format, the same size (area) pictures may have vastly different file sizes. Bitmaps (BMP) are notoriously large; JPEGs are much smaller, file-size-wise. George

"Superman" Jor-el: Lara, the planet Krypton is going to explode! Lara: Well we could at least have saved our baby if you hadn't torn out that rocket engine to use in the barbecue grill! George

Sounds like Raf is up to his "subtle hints" game again. Sadly, they're too subtle for me. George

Sounds a little like Stevie Wonder (not to be confused with Little Stevie Wonder); but I'm probably way off. Chatty: no offense meant. It's just hard to catch up on this thread if you get a little behind. George

I think I need one or two myself. George

Indeed. DONKEY + ODIE = Don Quixote. I had to check IMDB to make sure there was actually a movie by that name. There have been a few "Man of La Mancha"s. No whining, Bluzeman! This time you must post. George

This should be easy. Someone will probably have the answer before i get home. George

Sorry for the minor edit, Belle; but I initially read your message as saying that the Bible was riddled with errors but somehow still inerrant. George

"A day without orange juice is like a day without sunshine." A day without the Nostalgia Thread is like three pages of forum that no one has time to plow through! I've missed most of the song links, but Ican try to answer a couple of musical questions. "Syncopation" is like the color orange. It's easy to give examples but hard to explain. As mentioned previously, it refers to accenting a normally unaccented part of a beat or measure. As an example, if an ordinary 4/4 bar sounds like this: DAH DAH DAH DAH, a syncopated measure might sound like this: dit DAH DAH DAH dit, where the accents fall between the beats. "Dorian" mode has the same notes as a regular major scale, but starting on the second note of the major scale. For instance, playing from D to D, but using a C-major scale, would be D Dorian. Hence, a Dorian scale has a flat third and flat seventh relative to the major scale. It's very common in jazz. More information than you need: A "Phrygian" scale starts on the third note of the major scale; a "Lydian" scale starts on the fourth; a "Mixolydian" scale starts on the fifth; an "Aeolian" scale starts on the sixth; and a "Locrian" scale starts on the seventh. The major scale is also sometimes called the "Ionian" scale. The "Aeolian" scale is more commonly referred to as a "natural minor" scale. (C major = A minor.) George

"In and Out"? George

"The Perfect Score"? George

Great clues. Too bad I'd never heard of the movie. :unsure: George
