DeNiro  Meet the Fokkers Barbara Streisand  Dan Aykroyd Coneheads Chris Farley ========================== BZZT! No connecting movie between Streisand and Akroyd. The turn is still as Streisand- and we have to post a movie she was in. (I'd do it, but Mrs Wolf knows that and I'm not going to wake her just to answer.)

Ok, next song. "In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man, Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can. No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam."

*checks Scarface* I didn't find an imdb autosuggest for Mary Ellen Mastrantonio, so I checked "Scarface" and found that it was Mary ELIZABETH, as I suspected. I know her from one role. Robin Hood- Prince of Thieves Kevin Costner the Untouchables

That's it. I think the show certainly had a strong start. Episode 1 introduced everything, including setting up the plot for the series, AND fit in an adventure on the HMS Titanic!

I thought that, also. What incredible verbal contortions twi had people go through just to live their lives!

Ok, next round. Here's a show I've never done before. This show's original run was a single, long season from 1966 to 1967. It had some syndication success after the run ended, both domestically and overseas. (Mrs Wolf used to watch it.) It includes a nonexistent government agency and its major project. The show made some guesses about the future (but it supposedly took place in the year it was filmed/aired, which I thought was odd.) The 2 most important characters were played by an actor remembered as playing one of the Maverick brothers, and another who is remembered around here as playing Vic Fontaine on Star Trek - Deep Space 9.) Each episode ended in a "teaser" of the next episode (something a number of other shows have done, with at least one having a similar focus.) The series ended without resolving the primary storyline.

That's how the clues stacked up. Raf has it.

That's it.

He's the "LOCOMOTIVE BREATH" that JETHRO TULL sang about. "In the shuffling madness of the locomotive breath..." I saw Ian Anderson do this one live. He's still got it.

Naked Gun 33 1/3 Kathleen Freeman the Blues Brothers

Any chance at all that this is a voice actor who gets a lot of work, like ROB PAULSEN or PHIL LAMAR?

Knowing there was an episode of a show TITLED The One With The Lesbian Wedding" can put one on the right track. As it turns out, "Mad About You" had Ursula, a neurotic waitress or something, played by Lisa Kudrow. She also played Phoebe Bouffet, who has a neurotic sister named "Ursula." Both clues, AFAIK, don't apply to "Mad About You." However, they DO apply to "FRIENDS."

Well, I felt like watching it again, then I felt like doing a round on it again. I've really gotten out of the habit of watching movies. Mostly, now, I watch them in 2 seatings like 2 episodes.

"retemory" was a portmanteau word mixing together "retain" and "memorize" because twi had to have it's own word for memorizing something. Saying you "retained" what you memorized is needless. It's like saying you have to mention you ATE something that you DIGESTED. It demonstrated a lack of understanding of what it meant to memorize. "Cop out" became really popular once 80% of the people got up and left at once in 88-89. They needed a slur to slap on the other Christians who were doing all the same things as them but not with the same social organization, so they were "copped out." "The Best" - It's shocking how dissatisfied the cadre at the top of twi can be about everyone else who has a life and a job and still does HOURS of stuff for twi. On the one hand, vpw always claimed twi had all the "best" people and he studied under "the best" despite their lack of background. However, if YOU do something for twi, the top person from there can avoid saying something nice and say it wasn't "best" instead, implying it wasn't good enough. "All 9 all the time." - A nice goal to aim for, but impossible in practice. NOBODY EVER walked around in twi, CONTINUALLY performing miracles, doing healings, casting out demons or devil-spirits, etc INCLUDING vpw, no matter how often he FAKED getting revelation.

That was just plain stupid. However, for a lazy researcher like vpw or even lcm, downgrading "research" to just "rereading" something made it possible to CLAIM you "researched" something when all you did was read the twi explanation. It also made it easier for vpw to justify just plagiarizing anyone else's explanation so long as he "READ" it, after all, he searched it again, "that's 're-search' ".

"Manifestations" had a reason- saying all of the "gifts" were standard-issue to ALL of the Christians. The former seemed to be an example of changing the language to change the language and make it more coded.

Halloween- Bless and Treat All the holidays were wrong because they had pagan origins, so other Christians were wrong to celebrate them. So, we just renamed them and got to celebrate them just the same????? Yeah, stupid. Shows the degree that integrity DIDN'T have. Jehovah's Witnesses think that and FORBID a holiday. That at least has integrity and conviction.

No.

"You got a family?" "Yes, and I will see them when I leave here." "You know that I would help you with anything, but I cannot help you if you're going to start all this again." "There is nothing except this. There's no art opening, no charity, nothing to sign. There's the next mission, and nothing else." ===================================== About the filming: "They had no script, man. They had an outline. We would show up for big scenes every day and we wouldn't know what we were going to say. We would have to go into our trailer and work on this scene and call up writers on the phone, 'You got any ideas?' Meanwhile the crew is tapping their foot on the stage waiting for us to come on. " "When someone used to be a schmuck and they're not anymore, hopefully they still have a sense of humor." " One of the first things I did was I sat down all the people working on the visual effects and we screened scenes from Top Gun and scenes from Stealth and I said, “Why does Top Gun look so much more real?” Stealth had all of this money, technology and state-of-the-art effects and it looks like you’re watching a video game. We figured out that a lot of it had to do with how restrained the camera was. Don’t give the camera too much freedom or choreography. Get the shading right, the lighting right and there are things you can do to make the CGI look more real. People end up going crazy and give themselves a little too much freedom in how they use CGI and if you overuse it, it draws attention to itself." Early in the film, a main character is compared, obliquely, to Alfred Nobel. (They both seemed to share a certain nickname.)

If I could only remember even ONE other movie Benny Hill was in, but I can't. Oh, I can use Q! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Desmond Llewelyn Man With The Golden Gun (Got 3 people I can think of to work with, from there, plus anyone I can't think of...)

Next movie. "You got a family?" "Yes, and I will see them when I leave here." "You know that I would help you with anything, but I cannot help you if you're going to start all this again." "There is nothing except this. There's no art opening, no charity, nothing to sign. There's the next mission, and nothing else."

So, to recap, Raf is correct.

The first show was "The Muppet Show", the second was "Muppets Tonight", and the third was "the muppets'. When Jim Henson was putting together his first muppet show, he was unable to find any interest whatsoever in Hollywood. He had to go to the UK and ITV to find a home. ITV's subgroup, ATV, was run by Lew Grade. There's a nod to him in The Muppet Movie- the Hollywood producer played by Orson Wells, was named "Lew Lord" (Lew Grade became Lord Lew Grade in 1976.) It looks like the Muppet Show may have been filmed at Elstree Studios, a name which should ring a bell for fans of the original Star Wars trilogy.

Having NEVER seen The Muppet Movie, (it came up once), George sounds like he may never have seen any Muppet show, ever.

The "Muppet Babies" spinoffs (both with that name) were animated, but the 3 shows had live guests and muppets as the actors.
