"I see Bruce Lee" was, IIRC, the last thing that guy said on the radio before he was grabbed. When the cavalry came to the rescue, they shined flood lights like the police. "Yo, tell them we're Batman!"

The Avengers Ralph Fiennes Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (either part)

As if I'm a movie maven, or a Warren Beatty fan. Sometimes it can take quite a while to remember "BONNIE AND CLYDE" or any other movie. As to which movie this is, let's see.....

Ok, that clinches it, since I can hear Gary Busey saying that last one. The one who said "Fool!" was Mister T, and this movie was "D C CAB".

Oh, got one! He played the title character in The Wolf Man Anthony Hopkins The Mask of Zorro

Since "the Producers" is from 1967, this is from 1965-1967 sometime. The most obvious reason to exclude Shirley MacLaine when changing the main actor, as I see it, was if the main role and her role were supposed to be romantic, and the actor (producer) was related to her by blood or marriage. Since she's Warren Beatty's sister, I'm thinking it was a Warren Beatty film. One of the principal cast wore a beret. That's what I have so far- does that give anyone the movie's name? If so, go ahead.

Ok, the last quote didn't give it away, but it was obviously something modern and city-fied, for some value of city. So, this probably isn't Charon or a ferryman working for an obulus or something. So, a modern fare. So, if I think of a modern fare- not a ticket, not a reservation- that limits the possibilities. So, maybe this quote here isn't said with a dry British snark like I was hearing, but something US. So, maybe I'll say Batman, or do I see Bruce Lee?

Acts 4: 33-35, KJV [/u]33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. It has nothing to do with what he said. It's even clearer with the preceding verses. 29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. 32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. Once again, he tortured Scripture and claimed it had to do with something it had nothing to do with.

Yeah, but those haven't gotten a lot of airplay in my generation. His last hit was "King of the New York Streets," so I know that one, along with "the Wanderer." I'd recognize "Runaround Sue" or "Teenager in Love" but only when hearing the name in the lyrics.

Raf: "Nobody dies when they quit believing, they die when they quit BREATHING."

I think I know exactly 2 Dion songs, and I've posted each at different times. This one was neither.

I don't recall seeing any movie like that, or featuring dialogue with Charon, the Ferryman, etc. That having been said, I can't shake the feeling I should know this one anyway.

After twi, I have no idea. In twi, he wrote 3 books- "Will the Real You Please Stand Up?" "Will the Real You Please Remain Standing?" "Living in the Eye of the Storm."

Ok, I'm in the right neck of the woods. "Petticoat Junction?"

I'm going with the original "The Producers." Gene Wilder played Leo Bloom there. Furthermore, the studio didn't promote the movie, and it would have flopped as an unknown movie if not for an amazing coincidence involving Peter Sellers.

No, but I'd bet money you've seen all the DC- Marvel movies, including "Howard the Duck", in the theater (except possibly during covid lockdowns.)

About a week after we saw "Presumed Innocent", "The Kids in the Hall" did that scene with the guy who claimed to be evil, with an evil assistant, man-servant Hecubus. "Hecubus, have you seen "Presumed Innocent?" "Yes, master. *gives away the real ending* " "Hecubus! I haven't seen that movie yet! Evil!" We would have been SO cheesed if they'd given the real ending away BEFORE we saw it.

Wild swing here, my gut wants me to try "GREEN ACRES."

IIRC, I sat next to you in the theater when you saw this movie. I generally don't choose crime dramas or courtroom dramas to watch.

I did catch Moon Knight. It was different, but interesting. It wasn't the version of MK I preferred, but they never seem to know what to do with him, so that's no surprise. (Is he like Batman, or the Shadow, or does he have super-strength, or does he have multiple personalities.....) I approve of the newer versions of Anton Mogart/the Midnight Man and of the Scarlet Scarab (sorry, Abdul Farouk was a stereotype.) If season 2 brings us Bushman, I'm going to be surprised because he's a black villain and, well..... There's plenty of other foes to bring in, just from the comic book. Morpheus and the Black Spectre alone can carry a season. Stained-Glass Scarlett could be brought in for a complete left turn, and so on. BTW, I miss Jake's fake moustache, and the diner he used to go to for information. But, I expect I'm in the minority there, both times. I think whoever did this new version did some work and went through all of the character's history, and I appreciate the little details they included.

I get the feeling that when I catch up, I'll finish Legends of Tomorrow and catch all of Naomi, and Flash, Superman and Lois, and Stargirl, not in a specific order. These will probably be ENORMOUS binges.

It IS "Murder in the First" (with Christian Slater and Kevin Bacon.) I thought the "action" "reaction" thing was as close to a giveaway as the movie had, especially since it was repeated at the end.

"When you try to win sometimes, you lose sight of the goal." "Mr. Stamphill, you are skating on very thin ice." "Maybe your Honor, but I'd like to get to the other side." "How do you think the Yankees will do against the Redskins this year?" "The Yankees are a baseball team. The Redskins are a football team. Personally, I think the Redskins would kick the $h1t out of them." "Mister Young, we have GOT to talk. Would you like a cigarette?" "No thanks, that $h1t'll kill ya." "I was wondering if I could talk to you, sir, about a continuance." "No." "You don't understand, sir, he just sits there. I can't even get him to speak." "Well maybe he's practicing for the gas chamber. Tell him to take deep breaths." "Now, if you escape, action: l lose my job... Reaction: l have a family that l will not be able to provide for! Now, knowing this information, can you tell me why you would possibly want to escape and jeopardize my family? l've done nothing to you but my job. And instead of letting you learn by breaking the rules, l feel l need to show you how to obey them. Tolerance. Tolerance for pain. My tolerance of you. But tolerance can be mistaken for kindness. And kindness can be mistaken for weakness. And we can't have weakness, can we, Henri? " "I do not need YOU to tell me what is, or is not okay. In this court room, I am the one who decides what is, or is not okay. Okay? " "Did you kill Rufus McCain?" "I was the weapon, but I ain't no killer. " "Action - I won. Reaction - you can't ever take that away from me." "Take him to the hole."

Possibly the most insidious part about the "do as you fool well please" that vpw said was how it dismissed proper Christian mindsets and proper Christian conduct. Jesus said to love the Lord your God with everything you've got, and to love your neighbor like you love yourself- then clarified "neighbor" to include Samaritan to Jew (Jews were used to scorning Samaritans.) So, that's reasonably straightforward. Love God with everything you've got- and act accordingly because otherwise you're only PRETENDING to love God with everything you've got. Treat people as nicely as you treat yourself- which is obvious in your actions because otherwise you're only PRETENDING to love your neighbor as yourself. That's not hard to understand. That's not hard to explain. Then vpw comes along and says "you can do as you fool well please" so long as you do both. WHAT??????? You can dismiss cries for help if you feel like it? Yes, because vpw was claiming you could do whatever you wanted, and soft-pedaled what Jesus said and what he meant. If you followed Jesus' instructions, there's a lot you could NOT do- because it would not be good for others, or it would dishonor God Almighty. But vpw didn't care about either- he was determined to have a rule where he could do as he fool well pleased. How else could he be so casual and claim that God Almighty was ok with ORGIES when to participate would violate a lot of the Old Testament, disgrace God and dishonor others? He dismissed all the implications in actually loving God and loving others.

Um, 90210??
