  1. And the Arrowverse comes to an end. Arrow, Legends, Supergirl, Batwoman, Black Lightning, and now Flash gone. (And Stargirl, Gotham, and Naomi, but they weren't really Arrowverse. Superman and Lois and Gotham Knights continue, but not in the Arrowverse.) The last episode had some good action, with all of Flash's super-speed villains teaming up against Team Flash. And, of course, the syrupy ending. I wish Paco and Ralph had been involved, but I don't make those decisions... George
  2. I'm sure we've had older movies in this thread. George
  3. City Slickers Jack Palance Shane George
  4. The Honeymooners Regina Hall Scary Movie George
  5. Fine. Jimmy Foxx and Mel Ott. "Jimmie Duggan" is considered a cross between Jimmy Foxx and Hack Wilson. Again it just magnifies the incredible HR production of the Bambino. The next person to hit 600 was Willie Mays, and he didn't do that until the "Miracle Mets" year of 1969, and he was STILL behind Ruth by 114 at that time. FREE POST!! George
  6. "I'm So Excited" by the Pointer Sisters? George
  7. Help! This one might be borderline for this thread... "Eyes that look like heaven, lips like cherry wine That girl can sure enough make my little light shine." George
  8. Actually, "Ahab the Arab" was a Ray Stevens hit. These lyrics have a Ray Stevens feel, but I'm pretty sure it's not "Ahab the Arab." George
  9. Famke Janssen Golden Eye Sean Bean George
  10. The Brady Bunch? Zoom meetings often resembled the opening of the show. George
  11. There was a song "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight,: but I don't think that's what you mean here. This seems to be a song REFERENCING that song, and I have no idea what it is. George
  12. One of the answers to my clues is the player "Jimmie Duggan" was patterned after. Probably would have hit 600 homers if he hadn't kneecapped himself by drinking. Players' initials: J.F. and M.O. If no one still gets it, I'll give it up for a free post. George
  13. Ray Liotta is NOT correct. Coming to America Do the Right Thing Betsy's Wedding Goodfellas The Exorcist III Johnny Suede Mo' Better Blues White Sands Patriot Games Loaded Weapon I Amos & Andrew The Great White Hype George
  14. These are names which you would probably recall if you heard them, but may not be in the forefront of your minds. One played his entire 22-year career with the New York Giants. The other started as a Philadelphia Athletic, moved with the team to Kansas City, then returned to Philadelphia to finish his career with the Phillies. Name ONE to win the round. George
  15. Flash's final episode is next week. George
  16. Indeed it was! I started with some of his earliest roles and only got to the mid 1940s, so far. You're up. George
  17. Correct. None of the stars were particularly strong swimmers. Pamela Anderson said she hated the water. Anderson also starred in "Stacked" and "V.I.P." George
  18. I suspect that I'm the only one watching Riverdale. Except for the first episode this season, which tried to bridge the previous, we're-all-now-ten-years-out-of-high-school-in-2020 season to the current, we're-all-now-in-high-school-in-the-1950s season, the show has been pretty faithful to the comics (although not as funny). I especially enjoy hearing "Golly!" and "Gee whiz!" instead of all the cussing so prevalent today. One cute story line has Jughead writing comic books and collaborating with his hero "Brad Raybury," author of "The Jupiter Journals." Sexual mores of the time are examined realistically (IMHO). Kevin's and Toni's dealing with their homosexuality is also believable. (Of course, to make things more taboo, both are in interracial relationships.) Noticeably absent from the group was Reggie Mantle, until this past episode. His purpose seems to be the focus of anti-Asian bigotry, which was indeed a problem in the 50s. If you were (are?) a fan of the Archie comics, I recommend watching at least this season, which will be the final one. George
