  1. I'm ignoring "Discovery." Was "Swamp Thing" any good?
  2. That's him. I skipped the roles for which he's usually remembered.
  3. See No Evil, Hear No Evil Haunted Honeymoon Hanky Panky
  4. Name the actor. Tobias Wolff Jim Carroll Arthur Rimbaud Brandon Darrow Amsterdam Vallon Danny Archer
  5. In the 2ns show, one episode showed him having a flashback. He wore the white suit in the flashback. BTW, in the first episode, he selected the one white suit and said to burn the others. Also, when the plane approached, and the guy rang the bell- "THE PLANE! THE PLANE!" Roarke told him that ONE hit of the bell was sufficient.
  6. The Rocky Horror Picture Show Tim Curry Home Alone 2- Lost in New York
  7. Michael Pena must be the name of the actor in the movie. The guy without the name-tag. If so, these actors played MISTER ROARKE (of Fantasy Island.) Mrs Wolf and I liked both versions of the show. The first season of the original had Roarke with a hint of something sinister behind his role, which made him a LOT more interesting. We discussed what Roarke was, and what the island was. I don't know if the movie contradicted it-I haven't seen more than a clip or so yet- but Roarke seemed connected to the island, and may have been some kind of genie. He seemed to be a benefactor whose role it was to help people realize something about themselves- to gain some insight or something. The island seemed to have an actual island with actual workers, but (if the second show is to be believed) also had a number of people who were in a sort-of Purgatory state on the island, possibly working off something or there because they were stuck on Earth and that island was the only way they could have something resembling a normal life. Yes, we like to think these things through. We have fun that way. Hey, any chance Roarke was an Addams? That question just came to me now. ;)
  8. IIRC, the disbarred advisor in "A Time to Kill' and one of the professors in "Animal House" were both played by DONALD SUTHERLAND.
  9. IIRC, the moment where the Black Knight was trying to attack while missing both arms and one leg, the costume was worn by a one-legged man.
  10. " You will be mine, you will be mine, all mine. I will be your knight in shining armour, Riding across the desert with a fine Arab charger " " Is there nothing I can say Nothing I can do, To change your mind? I'm so in love with you."
  11. Sorry. I missed this post. " Beast of Burden" is incorrect. Wrong train, right track. You were otherwise correct.

  13. As a final word on the subject, another attempt at translating that scene. https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-blazing-saddles-scene-line/592851/110 ============================================ "Roughly, "Schwartzes!* Nah, nah, zeit nicht meshuggeh.** (some Yiddische name I don’t recognize) Cop a walk. S’alright. Auf wiedersehen. Take off. Hast du gesehen in seiner leben?*** They darker than us!" Black people ** - “No, no, don’t be crazy.” *** - “Have you ever seen in your life?”" ================================================== "I don’t remember the first bit about “zeit nicht meshuggeh” – I thought it was “sei nicht meshuggah” – as in “be not crazy.” " And “sei nicht meshuggeh” might be closer.""
  14. "Ï will be your knight in shining armor, riding a fine Arab charger."
  15. Masters Of The Universe Frank Langella Superman Returns
  16. The movie is correct. The moment wasn't that early, it was close to the middle, after the Sheriff got a Deputy. and both asked how they got there. Bart's family was "in" (behind) a wagon train when "the entire Sioux nation" raided them. The Injuns that showed up were lead by "Chief" Mel Brooks, and they all spoke Yiddish. When they arrive, the Chief says the following "Schwartzes!" (Black people.) One brave prepares to strike one of them. The Chief stops him. "(Don't be meshuggah.)" The Chief makes an invocation, then says "Cop a walk." The family thanked him as they left. Chief: "(Have you ever in your life?) They darker than us!" https://www.jta.org/2020/04/08/culture/blazing-saddles-still-stands-as-one-of-the-great-comedies-and-the-mel-brooks-film-teaches-lessons-too " The Native Americans are about to kill Bart’s family when the chief mutters, “No, no. Zeit nishte meshuggah,” Yiddish for “Don’t be crazy.” Then he raises his arm to the skies and exclaims, “Loze im gaym!” or “Let them go!” There’s more Yiddish, too." ======================================================= Some people were trying to analyze why Injuns would speak Yiddish. They were speculating about history. Duh- it was funny because it made no sense, it was silly! Also, Mel Brooks was able to write the lines because he knew the language. It was silly, it worked and it was easy to write.
  17. https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Gargareans https://wonder-woman.fandom.com/wiki/Gargareans BTW, legends eventually disagree, depending on the source. SOME legends DO say the groups mated so neither would die out. I figured that's what you meant, but I wasn't sure. (Could just have been a comment on fighting prowess.)
  18. In legends, the Gargareans were the male counterparts to the Amazons. This is, apparently (I wasn't 100% sure but I was fairly confident) a moment from "WONDER WOMAN", where WW and some soldiers fight together in World War II. Since Wonder Woman was an Amazon, I made an obscure joke. George either got it immediately, or looked it up then commented.
