"You here to make fun of me too? " No, ma'am. We at the FBI do not have a sense of humor we're aware of. May we come in? "Sure." "Did he say anything to you? "Yeah, that the world is coming to an end." "Did he say when?"

You guys are showing your ages; this was a big hit. "In the day, we sweat it out on the streets Of a runaway American dream. At night, we ride through mansions of glory In suicide machines. Sprung from cages out on Highway 9. Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line. Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back, It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap. We gotta get out while we're young." "Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend,I want to guard your dreams and visions. Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims, and strap your hands across my engines. Together we could break this trap. We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back. Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire? 'cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider. But I gotta know how it feels. I want to know if love is wild, babe. I want to know if love is real. Oh, can you show me?" "Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard. The girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors and the boys try to look so hard. The amusement park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in a mist. I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss. The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive. Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide. Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness, I'll love you with all the madness in my soul. Oh, someday girl, I don't know when, We're gonna get to that place where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun."

*checks* Joe Kubert's superhero work was mostly before I was born. Ross Andru DID do "World's Finest", but, technically, that didn't address the question. When I think of the Teen Titans, I usually think of the "New Teen Titans", the 80s, popular version done by Marv Wolfman and George Perez (often with Romeo Tangal.) The previous version had a more limited distribution, and was hard to find on newsstands. I should have said BOTH Ross Andru and Curt Swan for Superman/Action, which WAS correct, but I second-guessed myself based on the form of the question. I can't blame Mark Sekowsky for the bad stories, he wasn't writing them. DC tried to be hip and current, and mixed Mrs Peel/Diana Rigg with the "mod" movement for a socially-relevant superhero who was up with the latest fashions and issues. The problem there, IMHO, wasn't that they did that, but that they didn't introduce a new character to do that. The outcry wasn't so much about what I mentioned, but that they had to de-power Wonder Woman to do that. Among some women activists, it was seen as if they'd de-powered Superman. (I mean, for an extended period, they had actually done that BRIEFLY before. Interestingly enough, I-Ching was involved BOTH times, when Superman AND when WW were de-powered; he trained WW and he tried to use some mystic healing to return Superman's powers. He also went down like a punk- shocking considering all his other appearances and his black-belt status.)

I occasionally confuse Bonanza for GUNSMOKE since I wasn't a big viewer of either.

How sure are you that "Keeping the Faith" was in "Men in Black"?

"Bonanza."

I'm thinking, if I have to go all DC, then Carmine Infantino for "the Flash", Curt Swan for "Superman/Action Comics", Joe Kubert for "the Batman", "Gil Kane" for "Green Lantern." (I was thinking Gil Kane for Marvel's "Conan the Barbarian." I recognize a few more artists, but they're not mentioned here.

"TAKE IT EASY." -
With the autofill corrected, this is probably "WORKING GIRL."

Justice League (some cut or other.)

Right. Thought you'd forgotten those clues by now..... apparently not....

So, not "The Rifleman" if he had a revolver, not a rifle. "Wild Wild West"????
-
Um, "Cruela??????"

Some prints of this movie omit the final line from a scene- one of my favorite lines from the movie- "Every one of them has a mother." There's some prints that leave out part of the scene where 2 of the characters reach a boat. What was Jack La Lanne doing in this movie? Some of the characters have odd histories. One had a last name of "Beagle" before it was rewritten into the now-familiar last name (and middle names "Thaddeus Crane"). Another was visually based on the comic strip character "Broadway Bates." (With a middle name of "Chesterfield.") Another has the middle name "Worthington." (None of the middle names appeared in the movie.) It's not stated in the movie, but it's thought the bulk of the story took place in New Jersey. The Spanish-language version of this movie included characters named Bruno Diaz and Ricardo Tapia Someone parodied Nikita Krushchev's famous "bang the shoe at the UN" moment in this movie. A Chrysler Imperial and a Lincoln Futura prototype both appear in this movie A former Miss America appeared in the cast. References to Robert Louis Stevenson's novels were snuck into the movie, but not into the dialogue. This movie was NOT distributed by Warner Brothers (making it peculiar). Once you've seen the scene where "Bringing in the Sheaves" is played, it's hard not to have the song stuck in your head whenever thinking about that scene.

"That's what we're trying to find out! We're trying to find out WHO killed him, and WHERE, and with WHAT!"

Wild guess, based on the time-frame and network- "the Untouchables????"

"The Sound of Music." True story... Someone was explaining about an accident with his car. He was driving around the wilderness- on the back-roads- when he veered to avoid hitting a *mumble*. Me: "A what?" Him: "A doe. A deer. A female deer." Me: "Ray, a drop of golden sun." Then we both cracked up.
