  1. Almost confused the first one with John Wayne. Archibald Leach is Cary Grant. Michael Douglas discovered there was already a Michael Douglas so he called himself Michael Keaton. Caryn Johnson is Whoopi Goldberg.
  2. Archibald Leach, Michael Douglas, Caryn Elaine Johnson. I'll come back later today with their names if nobody rushes in first.
  3. " Don't touch Lola." "And he calls it a girl's name." "Lola's not just a collectible, you know. People tend to confuse the words "new" and "improved." "
  4. Next movie. Gilbert Gottfried and Dustin Hoffman were both considered for the same role in this movie. GG was amazed when he heard about it. "The only way our names would appear together in the same Hollywood conversation would be in the sentence, 'I've seen Gilbert Gottfried's acting, and he's no Dustin Hoffman'." Surprising no one, DH got the role and GG did not. Macaulay Culkin was considered for a role, but didn't take it. It should surprise no one that Disney chose not to produce this film.
  5. Vincent Price had a heck of a sense of humor. I bet he could have made that work. I think having Christopher Lee do it would be a lot like having Danny Trejo do it.
  6. I bet there's something you love more than money.
  7. AFAIK, those are in different cities and different states. I think she gave Little Cuba a miss.
  8. As stated at different times among the board, the policy for retirement for everybody (except the board) is "THEY WILL WORK UNTIL THEY DIE."
  9. "Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets, looking for soul food and a place to eat."
  10. Being cute, you meant "Rick Astley". You were correct. The parade float did a live Rick Roll of the entire parade, complete with a live Rick Astley! And I was watching the parade live when it happened. "What the heck....is that Rick Astley?" https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2nq11e
  11. Ok, for me, one of the most interesting things that ever happened at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade happened one year while I was watching it live. There was a parade float for "Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends." The float paused to play/have the characters sing Harry Nilsson's song "Best Friend." Shortly into the song, a surprise musical guest (not known for this song) exited the float. This song ended, and he immediately began singing a song of his own, for which he is known (complete with musical accompaniment.) Who was he?

  13. Whenever I've taught on anything, that's always been my goal- that others would start there and take it further. I think of Sir Isaac Newton, who claimed he saw so far by "Standing on the shoulders of giants," that is, the scientists who came before.
  14. We had one or two posters who were 2nd generation vpw drones, whose parents drilled them exclusively on twi/vpw materials, which was obvious because they talked like that's all they knew. According to one, the phrase "you can only go as far as you've been taught" was correct. When he was asked about innovations and so on and their origin, he said that ALL inventions either came from God Almighty or the devil. (I mentioned he was doing a disservice to people who spent decades of their lives working in their fields to make incremental improvements.)
  15. Let's see. Zucker and Zucker and Abrahms. If it was just Zucker and Zucker we'd have "Top Secret!", IIRC. Let's start over from the beginning. Let's see... First the Earth cooled. The the dinosaurs came. But they got too big and fat. So they died and turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes..... Zucker plus Zucker plus Abrahms (spelling?) means AIRPLANE! to me. Johnny's lines were hysterical and could all have been ad-libbed. "What can you make of this [report]?" "Oh, that? I could make a hat, a brooch, a pterodacty" "*snatches report back*" Lloyd Bridges and Leslie Neilson were known for serious roles before this- but not after. Leslie Neilson in particular's thought of as a comedic actor only now- "Spy Hard" "A Space Travesty" "Dracula- Dead and Loving It", etc.
  16. "Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for THE RUBBER BAND MAN." IIRC, that's the Spinners.
  17. "I love this chick. She's got rage issues." "I DON'T HAVE RAGE ISSUES!" " Isn't this fun? It's just like a sleepover. We should order pizza, make Cosmos...! " "Hey, I know that guy." "Oh hey, you're that singer no one listens to." "Oh hey, you're the .... no one likes." "Oh... that wasn't me!" "But you dared him to do it!" "Yeah, but I dare a lot of people to do a lot of things! " "This arrow through his throat... she wanted him to die slowly." "She?" "We got a hair. And he's got a new assassin." "Who does?" "Roman Beauvais Sionis."

  19. Well, I'm prepared, at any rate.
