  1. He's pretty popular these days, but not as well-known as, say, Tom Hanks or Jim Carrey. Private Parts My Best Friend's Wedding The Truman Show Saving Private Ryan Cradle Will Rock Man on the Moon Sabrina Donnie Brasco Big Momma's House Planet of the Apes Sideways Cinderella Man George

  3. Seems I'm playing solitaire. Sideways Paul Giamatti Saving Mr. Banks George
  4. My understanding is that Stargirl is not being renewed after this season. So Flash and Superman and Lois are the last DC shows standing. (Arrow, Supergirl, Legends, Batwoman, Black Lightning, and Naomi all gone.) Titans is still around, I guess, and Harley Quinn, but both are on HBO with later showings on TNT. George
  5. Mother's Little Helper "Been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel." George
  6. Heck of a cast, but that title doesn't ring a bell at all. Sorry. George
  7. Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman in almost every cartoon for the last 30 years, passed away a few days ago after a short battle with cancer. You might also remember his appearance in the CW cross-over "Crisis on Infinite Earths," where he played a dark version of Batman akin to Frank Miller's Dark Knight. His co-workers, including Mark Hamill, who was Joker to Conroy's Batman, have only praise for his work and more so for his character. George
  8. Honky Tonk Women "I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth." George
  9. Yes. I presume the last clue gave it away. George
  10. The star was the first to suggest that his character should be Scottish (originally the character was Québécois) but was turned down. He was later informed late into Season 1 filming that his character was changed to be Scottish from the actor's own hometown of Dundee. In the opening credits there is a brief image of an ATN broadcast. The on-screen headline says, "Gender fluid illegals may be entering the country twice." The ticker below says, "Dem senator wants to create 'supremer' court" and "Is 'sweetcheeks ' hate speech now?" Alan Ruck (born in 1956) is closer in age to the actor playing his father (born 1946) than the actress playing his sister (born 1987). He is also older than the actress playing his stepmother (born 1960). The current HBO show is heavily influenced by Shakespeare's 17th century tragedy King Lear. Most people assume it to be a thinly-veiled analogy of the Murdoch family. George

  12. This musical won three Academy Awards. David Hemming didn't sing at all, although he was the only trained singer in the cast. In later years, the star bought the rights to the stage version of the movie for $1 million, revamped the musical, and took it on tour. It made him a very rich man. During one rocky period in the film's production, David Hemmings came to collect the star from his house in the Hollywood Hills. When he arrived, he found him on a balcony above the swimming pool. "I'm going to jump", he announced. "You can't do that", Hemmings protested. "There's no water in the pool". The star replied, "I don't give a f--k. I f--king hate Warner Brothers and f--king Hollywood, the people here are all f--king arseholes". Hemmings climbed out on to the balcony. "Are you sure you really want to do this?" The star's face fell, and he said "No, I don't. Let's have a drink." He and Hemmings became life-long friends. The star wanted very badly to play the lead role but was repeatedly turned down due to his limited singing ability. He eventually won over the producers by pointing out that he was taller than the leading lady, whereas Richard Burton, also up for the role, was shorter than she. For a post-marriage bath scene with the leading lady, the star startled everyone by strutting onto the set completely nude with a large erection. (There is no nudity in the film.) The movie has nothing to do with the Kennedy Administration. George
  13. I'm sure I'll recognize the movie, but it's not coming to me. "The Longest Day"? George
  14. Well, apparently "Nicole" may hit Florida or the east coast as a storm or hurricane, here's her cone: George
