  1. Right. It is possible. Either way, Cprpus Christi should be paying close attention right about now. My sympathies for those of you who end up in the bullseye of one of these things. My life certainly isn't perfect right now (although I like it), but I'm well clear of the usual paths of hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, etc.
  2. Reminds me of a Gin Blossoms song, but it's definitely not the same song.
  3. That obelisk is PROBABLY The Washington Monument. This reminds me of "JUMPER." Any chance this is that movie?
  4. *checks* Ah, he wasn't in "Transylvania 6-5000".
  5. I'd count either, or simply "Kill Bill", as a correct answer.
  6. Ok, next one. Michael Madsen Vivica A. Fox Daryl Hannah
  7. Ok, let's see.... Grey DeLisle has done a lot of stuff, but it's all been cartoon voice-over work. So, that gives us a category. Unlike, say, Janet Waldo, she didn't do H-B or classic W-B or anything like that- she's done a lot of DC Animated stuff. So, we're talking superhero cartoons from the 80s on. Now a moment to contemplate Christina Hendricks. Let's picture her so we can figure out what she was in. Ok, that didn't get me closer to an answer, but it was still a nice moment. Moving on.... Kate Bosworth played "LOIS LANE" in "Superman Returns." is this "LOIS LANE"?
  8. It's in international syndication. I'm thinking it's a success.
  9. Sooner or later, someone at DC is going to connect the dots. They envy the success of DC. They aren't getting that it's based on the fans getting what the fans want to see. Iron Man is Iron Man, Captain America is Captain America, and so on. When they were working on "Man of Steel", they polled the public as to what they wanted to see. The public was specific. As movies is a service industry, the Powers That Be should have been DELIGHTED. The audience told them what they wanted to spend their money on, and it was something they could make. The public wanted the classic Superman. The director, however, was ANGRY at the public. He didn't WANT to make a movie about SUPERMAN. He didn't WANT the heroism, the costume, the flying, etc. I'm unclear why he even signed on to MAKE a Superman movie if he didn't want to make one. So, he made a "Superman" movie that bombed. They thought they should copy the success of their Batman movies. However, those worked because they gave the audience BATMAN. The Wonder Woman movie, I'm pleasantly surprised to say, delivered Wonder Woman. Perhaps someone will figure it out. The previous attempt was "the Avengers banter, so we need some bantering" and they made Suicide Squad. That had bantering, but otherwise wasn't what the audience wanted. So, with the success of Wonder Woman, and DC Hero Girls, perhaps someone has figured it out. We'll have to wait and see.
  10. Any chance this is "Murphy's Romance"?
  11. Maggie Gyllenhall replaced her, but Katie Holmes was in "Batman Begins", alongside Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon and Liam Neeson as "Henri Ducard." So, this was "BATMAN BEGINS."
  12. I can name 1 1/2. Can we all just chime in with what we know, then you can make a judgement on who goes next?
  13. Let's face it, you can't Torquemada anything.
  14. My gut wants me to try "AND JUSTICE FOR ALL." Was this it?
  15. This show had 3 incarnations, all with the same title (more or less). A) It started airing March 1, 1949 and finished a second season despite the host/founder's death (and despite his name being on the show!) B) It aired 1982 to 1986, with Jack Palance hosting. It ran in syndication in the 1990s on cable as well. C) It aired 2000-2003 (plus syndication) with Dean Cain hosting.
  16. "Peabody and Sherman", "The Muppet Movie", "History of the World Part I", "Life Stinks", "To Be or Not To Be", "HotW Part I" again.
  17. Albert Einstein Professor Max Krassman Tomas de Torquemada Goddard Bolt Dr Frederick Bronski Moses
  18. YES. "Real People" plus "the People Under the Stairs." Back when they aired, one classmate insisted that "That's Incredible" premiered before "Real People." I remembered that RP aired a full year before TI. In fact, when watching TI's premiere (I watched both shows), I thought the other network (ABC?) was airing it specifically to compete with NBC's RP.
  19. In this TV-movie, genuine citizens were interviewed and shown being their interesting selves. The most interesting story was about a young fool who tries to burgle his landlord's house only to find it super-secure to EXITING- leaving him trapped with some secret residents of that home. The interviews were conducted by Skip Stephenson, Byron Allen, Sarah Purcell and Fred Willard.
  20. *checks* I've heard of the artists. I've heard OF this song. I'd never recognize it nor connect it to the artists.
