  1. Those last 3 names sound familiar. I know who Mira Sorvino is, but can't name any roles of hers at the moment. Roles by Ashley Judd that other women might have played? If it wasn't "Margaret Mead" ("Gorillas In The Mist") then I'm still stumped.
  2. Forgot Dumas wrote that. I should probably at least see a movie version of it eventually. My movie- watching is sporadic at best.
  3. They may all have taken a cinnamon roll on set when filming, but I'm not coming up with the actual answer yet.
  4. *gets curious* *does some reading* Uh, George? Human's linked Vanity Fair article and wikipedia pages for Ackroyd and Fisher mention their engagement. Belushi's page says nothing about an engagement with Fisher. Do you have a source saying Fisher was engaged to Belushi? I mean, I thought she had more in common at the time with Belushi, which meant she would get engaged to him if either. However, that might be precisely why they WOULDN'T get engaged, of course. But what you or I think makes sense doesn't change what did or didn't happen. So, got a source?
  5. "We're the ones with the Imperial, and we're running last?" "Will you take us to Santa Rosita state park?" "What's the matter, what happened to you? What was ya, in some kind of initiation?" "We had an accident. We fell into yellow, all right? Hurry up!" "Then what happens next? I'll tell you what happens: Then they all decide that I'm supposed to get a smaller share! That I'm somebody extra special stupid, or something! That they don't even care if it's a democracy! And in a democracy, it don't matter how stupid you are, you still get an equal share!" "Now for the last time. Are we calling Sylvester or not?" "No! We are not! And I'll tell you why not. Because your son Sylvester is an irresponsible, unreliable, big loudmouth no good bum! Who if he isn't a crook? It's because he doesn't have the brains or ambition even to become a crook!" "I must say, if I had the grievous misfortune to be a citizen of this benighted country, I should be the most hesitant at offering any criticism whatever of any other." "Wait a minute, are you knocking this country? Are you saying something against America?" "Against it? I should be positively astounded to hear of anything that could be said FOR it. Why, the whole bloody place is the most unspeakable matriarchy in the whole history of civilization! Look at yourself, and the way your wife and her strumpet of a mother push you through the hoop! As far as I can see, American men have been totally emasculated. They're like slaves! They die like flies from coronary thrombosis, while their women sit under hairdryers, eating chocolates and arranging for every second Tuesday to be some sort of Mother's Day! And this positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all my time in this wretched, godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all is this preposterous preoccupation with bosoms. Don't you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I'll wager you anything you like: if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight."
  6. I think you saw this movie at some point, but I'm not confident about that.
  7. I was guessing Ackroyd was "the Black Hole" and Belushi and Fisher had gotten engaged. I remembered reading something about them getting close during the filming, but I forgot the specifics. I think it's odd that Carrie Fisher's character was never given a name- neither a first NOR a last name. I thought she might have gotten a bit typecast as a tough chick. I didn't think there was a problem with that, but her character just disappeared from the story at the end, so we don't know what happened to her later. Did she just go back to the hairdressing shop? Did she celebrate when he went back to prison? Did she get caught firing that rifle in the middle of that mess at the end? Twiggy's character didn't get a name, but we got a little resolution to that- she blew off Elwood to his face, but she did end up waiting for him at the motel.
  8. If you're in a hurry, you might want to check back later. The video is 38 minutes and 14 seconds long.
  9. I think it's one of 2 possible shows. *tosses a coin in his head* I'll go with "The Walking Dead."
  10. No, I'm thinking somebody French. Somebody from a French book's adaptation into movie or something. That leaves a few possibilities, even if I'm right. "D'artagnan"????
  11. "We're the ones with the Imperial, and we're running last?" "Will you take us to Santa Rosita state park?" "What's the matter, what happened to you? What was ya, in some kind of initiation?"

  12. Gone in 60 Seconds Angelina Jolie Mr and Mrs Smith
  13. Let's see. The time-frame given sounds like it might correspond to a movie where characters wore sunglasses all through the movie, and crashed a lot of cars. Is this "the Blues Brothers"?
  14. If they recruit outsiders, they introduce outside ideas. If they introduce outside ideas, they can't control what people think. If they can't control what people think, they can't convince them to consistently hand over 10% of their income. In other words, yes, they want to do their thing- and that includes the money- and remain free of variables they can't control.
  15. Yeah, he played Dracula MANY times, so that was probably a giveaway once you were on the right track.
  16. I figured you'd hit him with the next guess. The actual award was "Spirit of Metal" from Metal Hammer. (HM has their own awards?) There's a music video for "the Bloody Verdict of Verden", where he sings and also plays Charlemagne. I discovered it some years ago when the Daily Show played a small clip.

  18. Would you believe this actor also won a Grammy or something for some Heavy Metal he did? I SWEAR I'm not making this up.
  19. No, but if you give me a few more minutes, I'll see if I can get a few more roles up. Or, you can take another shot, probably. :)
  20. No. Now that you mentioned him, I should ask Mrs Wolf what she thinks of BR and this actor. I suspect she prefers BR and I prefer the other.
  21. "We're the ones with the Imperial, and we're running last?" "Will you take us to Santa Rosita state park?" "What's the matter, what happened to you? What was ya, in some kind of initiation?" "We had an accident. We fell into yellow, all right? Hurry up!"

  23. It's not the Pizzicato 5- of which there are 3 members. So, it must be "the Thompson Twins"- of which there are also 3 members. They're named after the Tintin characters. Oddly enough, Thompson and Thomson are not "TWINS", but they appear identical despite no genetic connection. So, they're confused for twins. (Figuratively, they could be thought of as twins.) I started listening to music with any seriousness in the 80s, just in time to hear the Thompson Twins. This is "Hold Me Now."
