  5. I can't recall any movies offhand that starred Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), but the other Duke boy is known, Boss Hogg is well-known, and Pauline's known among you as well. For that matter, Laurence Fishburne's voice is in the movie. But I'll move this on.
  6. That's it. I'm familiar with this gang not being familiar with the Marx Brothers in general.
  7. No, i didn't think anyone here has SEEN "Monkey Business", let alone knew its name.

  10. In an alternate timeline, Picard was married and divorced (the future of "All Good Things", before they restored the current timeline.)
  11. "What does this mean?" "Aw, just the man I want to see. Gottlieb, these are the worst cigars I ever smoked." "Yes, and your ice isn't cold enough either." "Friends...how we happened to come to America is a great story. But I don't tell that. When we first started out, we got-a no idea you give us this-a grand reception. We do not deserve it. And when I say we do not deserve it, believe me, I know what I'm a-talkin' about...So now I tell you how we fly to America. The first time we started, we get-a halfway across when we run out-a gasoline and we gotta go back. Then I take-a twice as much gasoline. This time we-a just about to land - maybe three feet - when whaddya think? We run out-a gasoline again and a-back we go again to get-a more gas. This time I take-a plenty gas. Well, we get-a halfway over when what-a you think-a happened? We forgot-a the aeroplane. So we gotta sit down and we talk it over. Then I get-a a great idea. We no take-a gasoline. We no take-a the aeroplane. We take a steamship. And that, friends, is how we fly across the ocean." "You live here all alone?" "Yes. Just me and my memories. I'm practically a hermit." "Oh. A hermit. I notice the table's set for four." "That's nothing - my alarm clock is set for eight. That doesn't prove a thing." "That woman? Do you know why I sat with her? Because she reminded me of you." "Really?" "Of course, that's why I'm sitting here with you. Because you remind me of you. Your eyes, your throat, your lips! Everything about you reminds me of you. Except you. How do you account for that? If she figures that one out, she's good." "That can't be my shirt, my shirt doesn't snore." "Shh! Don't wake him up. He's got insomnia, he's trying to sleep it off." "Let joy be unconfined. Let there be dancing in the streets, drinking in the saloons, and necking in the parlor." "SeƱor Lassparri comes from a very famous family. His mother was a well known bass singer. And his father was the first man to stuff spaghetti with bicarbonate of soda, thus causing and curing indigestion at the same time."
  12. Their retirement accounts, of course!
  13. Ok, next movie. "What does this mean?" "Aw, just the man I want to see. Guttlieb, these are the worst cigars I ever smoked." "Yes, and your ice isn't cold enough either." "Friends...how we happened to come to America is a great story. But I don't tell that. When we first started out, we got-a no idea you give us this-a grand reception. We do not deserve it.

  14. Hello, Grace and Mercy! Sadly, releasing POP back then would have accomplished little of worth. The document, if true, details vpw complaining about how twi was tossing him aside the way he'd tossed aside so many before that. So, with lcm- vpw drone 1- neglecting vpw, vpw went to cg- vpw drone 2, who soaked up everything with fervent vpw worship. So, vpw ranted about how the leadership, in forsaking vpw, the broken cistern of twi's doctrine and practice, were destroying twi. He made a bunch of predictions that ALL failed to come to pass. (It shouldn't surprise anyone that he was a false prophet by now.) He claimed they'd done wrong- but never gave any specifics because there WERE no specifics. So, POP went on for 40 pages yet lacked substance. I go on but say something, but POP goes on and says nothing.
  15. vpw was determined to make a profit on everything twi- related. If it cost something, he'd try to get it free, or try to get it on the cheap if that was impossible. When he filmed the pfal class, he "bought" the desk for the set, then returned it for a refund, lying and claiming something was wrong to get a refund. Run a class? It's always at someone's home, so we pay no rent, and twi peons supply all refreshments out-of-pocket. All books were charged full retail despite having been printed and bound in-house, all audio tapes were made of a truly inferior quality, a level you couldn't buy in retail stores. Its mission program- wow- was run at a profit- the wow had to pay a fee to go out, and no funds were released to house them or otherwise run the program. Its leadership program- the corps- was run at a profit- with each student charged lots of money to participate, with other people chipping in the rest. In all other organizations, the group carries part or all of the expenses for such programs. On top of that, the corps WORKED. They were charged money, were housed in tiny "residences" and paid for the privilege of working for free. If there IS a God, vpw will have to account for all of that.
  16. That longer quote is an obvious homage to Cyrano's complaint his detractors lacked wit and couldn't compose an interesting or original insult. With a modern setting, I can only think of one movie that would include that. "ROXANNE."
  17. Um, they parodied "It's a Wonderful Life" once. Was this it?
  18. I am all over the map with what I'm reading currently. It varies with what's close at hand and any passing whim. I finished the "Wheel of Time" saga a few months back. I'm currently alternating some Star Wars books (right now, the Black Fleet Crisis, which isn't bad but isn't great either), The Lone Wolf gamebook series, and the "Phule's Company" series. The Wheel of Time is an excellent read if very long. Robert Aspirin's "Phule's Company" is meant as light science fiction, and is a fun read. Here's the premise... in some future, The Space Legion is the least-respected of the military branches. Each soldier takes on a new name when he/she joins, usually wanting to break with their past. The series began with Lt Scaramouche's court martial. The General in charge of the meeting was evasive as to why they COULDN't throw the book at him. Finally, he revealed the Lt's last name was "Phule"- he was the son of the CEO of Phule-Proof Munitions, their main weapons supplier and main employer of retired Space Legionnaires. They settled on an assignment so unpleasant he'd just quit. They forced him to change his name, and gave him a promotion to Captain. Captain Jester was then put in charge of the current "omega company" -the dumping-ground for those who can't even make it in the Space Legion. Rather than just quit, Captain Jester/ Willard Phule decided to put his talents (and his finances) into turning the unit around, and the trouble REALLY started after that. For SF, I tend to prefer lighter fare- with little heavier than the Star Wars "Legends" Extended Universe. For fantasy, I'll read the lighter stuff as well as the heavier stuff. My preferences there are for settings with coherent magic systems- the Recluce series, the Dresden Files (modern fantasy), and the Wheel of Time. I've enjoyed the Harry Potter series, but I've also noted some glaring problems with the magic system (from the last 2 books- the others held together reasonably well.) If you want, I can recommend every single thing in either setting that I WOULD recommend, but I don't think you're looking for that.
  19. I only know Sam Jones for that role, but I didn't think you knew him for it. I was working my way up to Buster Crabbe. AFAIK, more people know him for that role. YES, this is "FLASH GORDON."
  20. Ok, here's some actors, please name the role. Sam Jones Steve Holland Robert Ridgely
