That is not this movie.

This next movie is NOT "the Wizard of Oz." I repeat, NOT "the Wizard of Oz." Nor any variation on that story, nor is it inspired by that story. If your answer in any way reminds people of the Wizard of Oz, your answer is incorrect. Cross out all such guesses before posting. (That phrasing is not a clue, that's just me being frustrated and trying to lawyer out a lot of incorrect guesses.) "Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, Toto! It's a twister! It's a twister!" "What was it we had for dinner tonight?" "Well, we had a choice of steak or fish." "Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna." " I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you." " I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you." " I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you." "Nervous?" "Yes." "First time?" "No, I've been nervous lots of times." "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking."

"Yeah, it’s weirdly quiet. Nobody’s in the street." "Huh, that’s strange." "You thinking what I’m thinking?" "They cut that meteorite open and unleashed a space plague." "Exactly." "Let me just lock up here." "Okay, so what do we do?" "Uh, well, if this is a worst case scenario and we’re the last two people alive we’re gonna have to rebuild civilization." "Do you have any special skills?" "I can draw. How about you?" "I can play clarinet." "I didn’t know that." "Yeah. Ten years. Ah." "You know, it, uh, might also be up to us to repopulate the earth." "I’m okay with that." "So shall we?" "Wait here. I’m gonna brush my teeth." "Does anyone have any questions?" "I do. Why are there no tires in Star Wars?" "You're an adult who can't get by without an allowance from his parents. Women don't want that." "What are you saying? That you're giving up on me? What kind of father gives up on his son?" "I have six children, five of whom are married and self-sufficient. I don't think I'm the problem." "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow..." "What happened?" "I tried to let go of anger, and threw a rock into my foot." "Then, he got more angry and kicked the rock with his other foot." "What?! And what happened to you?!" "Oh, I laughed so hard, I burst a blood vessel in my nose! It's fine!" "You're probably wondering why I put you through this." "You mean the last two minutes or the last twenty years?" "Hey, watcha doing?" "Improving our wedding photos." "Oh, that's nice. Wait, I'm still in them, right?" "Of course. And not only you. I've added some guests who couldn't be there." "Who's that next to my father?" "The Wright brothers." "And why are they at our wedding?" "Orville, because I admire him; Wilbur, because he was Orville's plus-one." "Now we got a lot of family coming in tomorrow. I'm gonna need everyone's help. Think of this as one of your comic book movies. There's a bunch of superheroes, each with a different task." "Oh, like the new Avengers." "Which one was that?" "The one you slept through last weekend." "Ah. That was a good nap." "I think it's more like, uh,... like Lord of the Rings, and you're the Fellowship. Someone's gotta go to Gondor, someone's gotta go to Mordor, someone's gotta hold off the Demon of Shadow and Flame." "You mean the Balrog?" "I mean my mother." "It says here to 'Leave no stone unturned.' "

"Kramer Vs Kramer" was about a couple having a divorce. The couple had kids. I saw a piece of the movie. The Dad told a kid to put on his shoes, and the kid showed up in sneakers. The Dad sent him back to change to shoes. The kid insisted he was wearing shoes. "Those are not shoes. Those are shoe substitutes." So, the couple had at least 1 kid. That's the limit of what I know. Imdb will have more information if you want to follow up on it. Wikipedia also, I think.

This is possibly the movie with the most Yiddish spoken in the background, and even in the foreground. (As opposed to movies where it was spoken for 1 scene for about 30 seconds, this one has Yiddish in several scenes.) One of those scenes has Yiddish spoken to the Pennsylvania Dutch! Surprising no one, they did not understand any of it. It also includes a Native American reading Hebrew. ("I did not understand one word.") As a come-from-behind story, it had a strong beginning- the protagonist graduated 87th out of 88 students. In this movie, there are 2 main actors, one of them fairly famous and the other one very famous. In this movie, the fairly famous one falls sick and is nursed back to health by an Amish/Pennsylvania Dutch community. In a different movie, the very famous actor falls sick and is nursed back to health by an Amish community. This movie is a PG movie. However, print errors have led a lot of people (myself included) to think it was rated "R" because it was incorrectly labelled in a home movie release. The "title character" was, technically, accused of a crime he didn't commit. The fairly famous actor had previously played a role where that happened. And he later played 3 more movies with 3 more roles where that happened. (Not counting movies where it didn't happen.) It has almost the same name as a movie released decades before, but is not connected to it and, other than some similarities in setting, bears no resemblance to the previous movie. The "title character" has $50 swindled from him, and later goes to collect his $200. This was not an error, nor a lie. He was robbed of $150 after being swindled (only counting his money.) The sharp-eyed may notice a few errors in the props in the movie, but the average viewer will not (firearms errors, horse errors.) However, any Jew should know the concept of Pikuach nefesh. That is a principle of Jewish law that states that saving a (human) life overrides observation of the Sabbath. So, if your life is in immediate danger, you may travel to escape the immediate danger. If a friend's life is in danger, you may act to defend him. (And defending yourself with violence on the Sabbath is expected.) In each of these cases, an observant Jew is REQUIRED to break the Sabbath because the preservation of human life is preeminent over virtually all other religious rules of Judaism. Someone who knows this may think certain parts of the movie don't make sense. Then again, in history, there have been devout Jews who observed the Sabbath and did NOT observe Pikuach nefesh- to their own sorrow, so the error may not have been a writing error, but a character error/flaw. The same can be said about how he interprets the Sabbath beginning and ending,

"Could you whisper in my ear The things you wanna feel? I'd give you anything To feel it comin'. Do you wake up on your own, And wonder where you are? You live with all your faults." "I want to wake up where you are. I won't say anything at all." "Don't you love the life you killed? The priest is on the phone. Your father hit the wall. Your ma disowned you. I don't suppose I'll ever know What it means to be a man. It's something I can't change. I'll live around it." "And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete, Little pieces of the nothing that fall. Oh, May. Put your arms around me. What you feel is what you are And what you are is beautiful. Oh, May. Do you want to get married or run away?"

"Yeah, it’s weirdly quiet. Nobody’s in the street." "Huh, that’s strange." "You thinking what I’m thinking?" "They cut that meteorite open and unleashed a space plague." "Exactly."

The longest-lasting one you didn't name, I think, was LORI LEMARIS, the mermaid. (She was mentioned, in passing, in "the Lost Boys", in the comic book shop where the Frog brothers worked or hung out, FYI.) There was also some cavewoman chick with her lost tribe or something, who almost married Superman, Lola=La. Finally, when we first met the Linear Men (and before Waverider joined them), we met 3 people. One of them was a woman, Liri Lee. Yes, Superman was meeting them for the first time.

Do I have to limit myself only to those years? You eliminated the 2 most prominent ones, and 2 that I know came afterwards. Offhand, I can only remember 1 other for that time-frame.

We had a Political forum on the GSC, and it almost shut down the entire site. It took many times more moderation than all the rest of the board put together. Pawtucket was about to shut down the entire GSC out of frustration, but elected to keep everything else and just jettison the politics- which is unnecessary anyway. When 9-11 happened, a lot of people wanted to talk about it. That's how the politics board started, a board on 9-11, that expanded. But discussions got ugly, and posters didn't limit themselves to just mean posts in that board. Some followed other posters around and attacked them on threads that have nothing to do with politics, And so on. It made for a toxic environment. So, someone else agreed to moderate a purely political forum, and Paw jettisoned the one here. As I understand it, the other one lasted a few months, then fizzled out. I'm not sure why because I didn't follow it. So, the rule at the GSC is, NO POLITICS.

All correct! It was the battle of Yorktown. Cornwallis surrendered to Washington. He had counted on being able to escape by sea if the land war went against him. Then the French fleet blockaded Yorktown, and Cornwallis was backed into a corner. Schoolhouse Rock fans could probably all dust this question. :) Go, George!

I clarify- it is neither "the Wizard of Oz" nor any movie of that story, nor inspired by that story. Nothing resembling it.

I know people forget this little detail, but North America is 3 countries, Canada, the United States and Mexico. (With DVDs, that's Region 1, and the reason Region 1 DVDs often include English and Spanish and French, but rarely other languages.)

I'm not feeling clever. So, something simple. US History. A) What was the last battle of the "American Revolution", "the War for Independence"?/Where was it fought? B) Who commanded the British forces in that battle? C) Who commanded the US forces in that battle? D) Why were the British forces unable to escape and avoid the battle entirely? Please answer 3 or better. (Of ABCD, any 3 of those, or all 4 of those.)

This next movie is NOT "the Wizard of Oz." I repeat, NOT "the Wizard of Oz." "Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, Toto! It's a twister! It's a twister!" "What was it we had for dinner tonight?" "Well, we had a choice of steak or fish." "Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna."

I'll accept the artist, the song, or both. "Don't you love the life you killed? The priest is on the phone. Your father hit the wall. Your ma disowned you. I don't suppose I'll ever know What it means to be a man. It's something I can't change. I'll live around it." "And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete, Little pieces of the nothing that fall. Oh, May. Put your arms around me. What you feel is what you are And what you are is beautiful. Oh, May. Do you want to get married or run away?"

Since I'll name 2, I'm apparently ineligible to win the round. A) There's a lot of legacy characters in the Justice Society, but I'm going with "MISTER TERRIFIC." B) "CN" stands for "Captain Nice." You mentioned him once. It stuck with me.

No, although I suppose both had quite a bit of Yiddish in them.

It was obviously "Burt", and the "t" and "y" keys are adjacent. If there really had been a question, you could always have gone to the imdb page for 'the Dukes of Hazzard' to see which was in that. (As if there really was a question. ) In case there's ever a doubt, that's the best way to check- go back one name and do an imdb search for the actors in that movie or the movies that actor was in.
