  4. Oh. Then, yes, I definitely saw this movie. I forgot because I didn't like it, and thought the low-budget BBC-TV production done years before was greatly superior. In fact, Mrs Wolf thinks the only improvement in this version was Alan Rickman's voice for Marvin. This was "THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY." In the eponymous book (about the guide of the same name), the description of Zaphod Beeblebrox included that he had 2 heads, and he had added a third arm under his right arm to help improve his skiboxing. Nothing else was ever mentioned of skiboxing after that. (Unless it was in Book 5 or 6.) If I pictured Arthur Dent in any way resembling the movie version, including him with a towel and robe would be a big clue. I might have remembered Marvin despite him looking nothing like his description in the book. BTW, the TV costume for Marvin actually appeared in the movie somewhere- it was the head of the tall, metallic robot in the background somewhere.
  5. My recollection matches his. The show was divided, basically, into 2 parts, each 1 hour. The first hour ends with the end of the "born again" scene. I seem to remember an actual curtain-drop in the video at the end of the scene, with the curtain lift included at the beginning of the next scene. I used to use this as a natural intermission for bathroom breaks and so on. IIRC, others did, as well. The end of the show dragged on longer than one might expect because they dragged the closing credits out. All the people in the show were named one at a time and came out dressed as athletes again like in the opening sequence. Once the credits ended that everyone may remember, the screen faded out. Those completionists may remember that the credits actually continued after that. With a screen almost black (and low, colored lights on), the behind-the-scenes credits continued with those who were not on camera, and those names crawled along. At the end of THAT, the video ended and you got static. I have a very vague recollection that the credits might have run something like 17 minutes, start to finish. i am NOT certain about that, but it shouldn't be off by a wide margin. (That might have just been the last part with the production credits.)
  6. Got to be a spoof of something hard-boiled. I can picture Detective Frank Drebin saying these lines, but I know he did not. Perhaps this was "DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID".
  7. I remember discussing "Wild Kingdom" with the hitchhiker. This MUST be "Twilight Zone- the Movie." William Shatner's episode with "some...thing on the wing" was redone in the movie with Lithgow seeing the gremlin. This movie redid that episode, and "It's a Wonderful Life", and I forget which was the third.
  8. Thank you for the first image. I'm fairly confident I haven't seen the movie for the second image.
  9. That song is correct. The description of the group is accurate enough. It was called "USA for Africa." It's funny how, sometimes, it's the inaccuracies that can stick in your craw decades later. I actually might have gotten it from the end, when Ray Charles took over. "All right, let me here you!" He sang counterpoint to everyone else at that point.
  10. About 1 more day, then we can look it up.
  11. "As God has shown us by turning stone to bread, And so we all must lend a helping hand." "Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come When we stand together as one." ("All right, let me hear you!")
  12. Ok, the other one. If it wasn't Wonder Woman, it had to be LOIS LANE.

  14. No, but Martin Buber sounds pretty sensible. I've heard of him before but I haven't read his books.
  15. "Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come When we stand together as one." (This next song is NOT a political song.)

  17. Well, I saw the name somewhere. I know I'm not far off. WONDER WOMAN?
  18. That's entirely possible. However, he shows so many signs of psychopathic/sociopathic behaviour that I tend to think that his response was because we weren't people to him, we were RESOURCES. So, when we thought for ourselves and dared to disagree with him, he took that personally because he was entitled to do all our thinking for us.
  19. Ok, I think I know where I saw the name "Salome Jens." These are actresses who played SUPERGIRL. Salome Jens was a voice actress who played her in a cartoon.
  20. That's quite possible. ELP's Palmer was CARL PALMER. At one point, they replaced him with "Powell" but he seemed to return later. A few years ago, "THE CARL PALMER TRIO" did a world tour through here (with a note that he's that "Palmer" on the posters.) (World tours seem to pass here a year after they pass the US.)
  21. Correct. I take it you vectored in on Langella.
  22. Ooo. what a LUCKY MAN Gregg Lake was. (That's the "Lake" of "Emerson, Lake and Palmer.")
