*studies this answer* Ok, Human's close enough on the title. "96 Tears" is the correct title, this was close enough. Human didn't include the ENTIRE name of the artist, but he included the lead singer, so that counts. The group was "? and the Mysterians." Human DID post " ? " which is correct, so I'm counting it. (My turn, so, my discretion.) So, it's HUMAN'S TURN!

*sigh* NEVER jump IMMEDIATELY to the conclusion that something is supernatural. Examine the more common, more mundane reasons FIRST. If they don't work, then you can consider that among the possibilities Why wouldn't the Jews have taken heed and flee Germany, etc? 1) A lot of them DID. There's a few big cities in the world who got a surge of Jewish immigrants at that time. 2) Hindsight is 20/20. Honestly, how likely would you consider the idea that someone would come to power over your country, take it over, declare you and yours ILLEGAL and order everyone to round you up and then confiscate your possessions? I'm sure a number of them thought that was too crazy to happen. 3) Lots of non-Jews were rounded up, most of whom had no idea they were on the rounding-up list. I met one, once. I still don't know why he was ever rounded up, but they grabbed him, imprisoned him, and so on. Yes, he had the number tattoo. 4) Why didn't they fight on the way to the gas chambers? Be thankful you don't know why! These are people whose lives were destroyed, who were placed in a prison having never committed a crime,. starved, watched their friends executed or killed in lab experiments, and led everywhere by threat of violence. They were likely in shock as well as suffering from malnutrition. It's hard to THINK, much less FIGHT, under those conditions. Should they have just shuffled forward and gotten shot rather than walked into the chambers? Possibly. Hard to come to that conclusion under the circumstances. Then again, it's "human nature" to try to survive. They may not have understood that they were being rounded up specifically to be killed- especially since they hadn't been killed yet. I know NOTHING about their suffering. I can work it out on paper, but that's nothing compared to actually living it. I hope those were meant as honest questions and not just an attempt to Monday-morning quarterback, because I answered them with that in mind.

There's difficulties if we get a proper Jakeem Thunder. That or a GL gives us too much power for this scale of team. Jakeem was Johnny Thunder's replacement, and gave orders to the Thunderbolt. How can that be fixed? Two possibilities present themselves immediately: 1) Let him make a single wish, then the Thunderbolt goes away for now. Jakeem can give one order per scene or per hour or per day, or something. 2) Jakeem's not a successor to Johnny Thunder, he's a successor to Jonni Thunder- Thunderbolt. He can basically turn into living lightning. I think another Flash might not be the best idea, but maybe Johnny Quick, Max Mercury or Impulse might be called for. How about Liberty Belle? Oh- we'd better get Cyclone/Maxine Hunkell if this series goes the distance.

The sad part is their inability to detect their own hypocrisy. Remember being told in twi that the bad guys always accuse the good guys of what they THEMSELVES do? With twi, we've seen plenty of examples. Anyone kicked out is accused of practices that are standard policy in twi but never acknowledged as the same thing.

They not only saw it coming, their plans depended on it. A year before they sent their letter to the BOD, they were heard recruiting, and they'd reserved the domain name for "revival and restoration". This whole "maybe we can all fix this and stay together" thing was mere posturing, a formality that didn't reflect ANYONE'S thinking.

"Too many teardrops For one heart to be cryin' Too many teardrops For one heart to carry on You're way on top now Since you left me You're always laughin' Way down at me But watch out now I'm gonna get there We'll be together For just a little while And then I'm gonna put you Way down here And you'll start cryin'"

Some of these might be remembered individually- the Smithsonian Guard who realizes Captain America's costume is missing, the FedEx Driver looking for "Tony Stank", the Milwaukee Man who drank from a bottle and dropped dead due to gamma ray exposure, but individually, none may ring a bell. Except for a case like this one where you're LOOKING for Waldo in the background, none of these should count as a role for this thread. THAT was a clue by itself. An informant for The Watcher? A ladies' man on XANDAR? Someone's got cameo roles in Marvel movies. Generalissimo Lee and Senator Lieber are slips of the name- Stan Lee, born Stanley Lieber. I'd have gotten it off of the top line. Willie Lumpkin appeared in one movie. Tony Stark identified Stan as Larry King and incorrectly(?) as Hugh Hefner in Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2 (IIRC, in reverse order, as Larry at the beginning of IM2 (on the way to the car, just before getting served the Congressional subpoena) and Hef at the charity ball in the middle of IM1 (on his way into the building.) GEORGE'S TURN!

Freaking YES!

Ok, different song, but same artist. (AFAIK, the original artist for both songs, although they've both been covered since then.) "Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying . Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on. You're way on top now since you left me. You're always laughing way down at me. But watch out now, I'm gonna get there. We'll be together for just a little while. And then I'm gonna put you way down there."[/b]

Willie Lumpkin was the mailman for the Fantastic Four. Any thoughts about who might play "Generalissimo Lee" or "Senator Lieber" ?

"Whenever we kiss I get to feeling like this. I get to wishing that there was two of you. My heart cries out 'Woo, baby'. It feels so nice. I want your arms to wrap around me twice." "Right or Wrong Baby Right or Wrong When you had to go I hated the thought I always wish the night was twice as long My heart cries out more baby I love you so much I wish that there was more of you to touch." "Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this. I get to wishing that there was two of you. My heart cries out, 'More, baby!' I love you so much. I wish that there was more of you to touch!" This song charted with the original artists. Decades later, it charted with a cover that was on a teen movie soundtrack.

"Probably?" a recognizable face? For you, a VERY recognizable face, with a VERY recognizable voice. (AFAIK.)

Ok. Name the guy who played these roles.... Willie Lumpkin Larry King "Hugh Hefner" Hot Dog Vendor Old Man at Crossing Security Guard Man Dodging Debris Waterhose Man Man in Times Square School Librarian Smithsonian Guard Bartender Strip Club DJ Jury Foreman Man in Fair Bus Driver Generalissimo Lee Debonair Gentleman Xandarian Ladies' Man FedEx Driver Bus Passenger Barber Milwaukee Man Drinking From Bottle Thirsty Gambler Rejected Wedding Guest Senator Lieber Pageant Judge Shrink-Car Owner Dapper Dog-Walker Barber Watcher Informant Gary Man Leaving Tex's Lounge (How many people have played WILLIE LUMPKIN?)

All of that is correct.

"Hi, Hef."

On the off-chance that everyone didn't chime in with the answer in harmony, I had to save something for the next post.

George, that first line should be more than enough to give you his name, and the rest should make you confident you have the right guy.

"Seedless" grapes have SEEDS! They are small and don't have the harder shell. The plant's been selectively bred to have SOFTER seeds. With no outer husk, the seeds are SMALLER as well as softer. Although they have seeds those seeds are not expected to work to grow fruit, so they're grown from a CUTTING of an existing plant. Plants are different from animals in many ways. Among those is that you can cut some parts off a plant, and the plant will heal, and grow another plant from the cutting. Multicellular animals aren't built that way. (BTW, "seedless" watermelons ARE grown from seeds.) If he's really spent his life farming, you think he'd know that "seedless" grapes are misnamed. (They also occur in nature and do not require a devil to be involved. They are, however, a mutation that doesn't benefit the plant.) "Seedless" fruit occurs in nature, but they usually die out because their seeds don't produce more fruit trees/plants. However, humans can exploit that and continue their existence on purpose. Why would they do that? (To hear this guy say it, a devil made them do it.) 1) The spot where the big seeds would be is now occupied by fruit. 2) The resulting plants are effectively identical- which means the farmers know what to expect of them.

YES, it is "Oliver!" Oliver himself was holding up his bowl and asking for more gruel. That's probably the most famous moment in the movie. (For those who don't know, the kids picked ONE of their number to ask for more...then let him get into trouble for asking.) "Please, sir, I'd like some more."

Next movie.

Seriously? About how many minutes in did he say it?

Page after page of nothing but that sentence, formatted all sorts of ways, all typed out by hand. It was one of the many creepy things about "THE SHINING." Jack Torrance typed all of that. There was real typing, too. Kubrick used the actual typing sound for that sentence, as Jack (Nicholson) typed over and over on the set. In other languages, Kubrick used a recording of the saying they used from that language. (Foreign versions didn't all use this phrase- they used a phrase well-known to them.)
