*wild swing* "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?"

It's Summer, so I'll be out of reach til Monday. You can wait for me or work some things out, depending on the thread. As for this thread, consider me vanished in the next minute.

1."Hello, and welcome to "TV Car Trivia!" First question, who was the driver of a '73 Firebird? Uh, Otto?" 2."Uh, Jim Rockford, "Rockford Files"." 3."Gimme "Columbo"." 4."A Peugeot convertible." 1."What color?" 4."Gray." 5."How do you know that?" 4."'Cause I love that show." 5."Man, I got three words for all of y'all: Get a life!" 6."What's on Magnum P.I.'s license plate?" 7."ROBIN-1" 4."Wait, wasn't Robin that faggoty guy that always hung with him?" 8."Naw, that was Higgins. That was Higgins." 2."Hey, hey, ten points for our fearless leader. Sway, how about giving us the Bill Bixby trifecta?" 3."Drove a Corvette in "The Magician", a Ford pickup truck in "The Incredible Hulk", and in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father", he walked. " This remake did well enough in the box office, but I can't help think part of that was due to the advertising. One supporting character was made to look like a main character with most of the screen-time. This is one of the appearances in media of the "coroner with an iron stomach" type of thing. When one character answers the phone, he's at work in a crematorium. He puts down his sandwich- on the corpse- to answer the phone. "If his unpleasant wounding has in some way enlightened the rest of you as to the grim finish beneath the glossy veneer of criminal life, then his injuries carry with it an inherent nobility, and a supreme glory. We should all be so fortunate. You say 'poor Toby'? I say 'poor us'. " Cast includes Delroy Lindo, Christopher Eccleston, Giovanni Ribisi, Arye Gross, Robert Duvall, Angelina Jolie, and Nicolas Cage. "You ever feel bad about any of this?" "Hell, no. I'm Robin Hood, man. I rob from the rich and give to the needy." "You mean the poor." "No, like I said, the needy. 'Cause brother, we need this car." 1."Hey, man, that was as easy as pie!" 2."I'm a veteran, son." 3."Get outta the car, b*, or I'm gonna blow your brains out!" 2."You gotta be sh*ing me..." 3."Do I have shoot you, d* it?" *WHAM* 3."D*!" 2.*WHAM*"You lazy, half-@$$ bully! Any @$$h* can pull a gun on somebody! You don't know the first thing about stealing a car! Boy! You need a role model!" "Without disappointment you cannot appreciate victory." "Did Eleanor tell you that?" "Don't touch nothing! You can't negotiate turns. You can't signal properly. You can't maintain speed. You can't parallel park. Hell, you can't drive, honey. Sh*, I can't swim, I know I can't. So you know what I do? I stay my black @$$ out the pool!" "Air One. we're over the pursuit." "Suspect has increased speed to 120." "Maintain visual, Air One." "140 miles an hour." "Do NOT lose him." "This is an A-Star, sir, not an Apache." "I just stole fifty cars in one night! I'm a little tired, little WIRED, and I think I deserve a little appreciation!" " Shut it off!" "You got 30 seconds to consider your options." "SHUT IT OFF!" "One, you kill me, they kill you, your brother dies anyway. Two, you lie, you accept the job, you run, I hunt you down, I kill you, I kill your brother, and I kill your mother for the aggravation you cause me. Three, you accept the job, you steal some cars, you make some money, and you be a big brother. 8 a.m. Friday Morning. The cars are on the boat, or your brother's in the coffin."

"He chose poorly."

I've missed the entire "magic artifacts" genre. Is #3 "Burn Notice"?

You HOCKED a Hattori Hanzo sword? "Kill Bill Volume 2."

I don't think this is considered "rap." "Niggas wanna hate on us (who) Niggas be envious (who) And I know why they hatin' on us (why) Cause we're so fabulous (what) I'ma be real on us (c'mon) Nobody got nuttin' on us (no) Girls be all on us, from London back down to the US (s, s) We rockin' it (contagious), monkey business (outrageous) Just confess, your girl admits that we the sh** F-R-E-S-H We (fresh) D-E-F, that's right we def (rock) We definite B-E-P, we reppin' it So, turn it up (turn it up) Turn it up. Come on baby, just" "Turn up the radio Blast your stereo Right now This joint is fizzlin' It's sizzlin' Right" "(Yo, check this out right here) Dude wanna hate on us (dude) Dude need'a ease on up (dude) Dude wanna act on up But dude get shut like flavor shut (down) Chick say, she ain't down But chick backstage when we in town (ha) She like man on drum (fool) She wanna hit n' run (errr) Yeah, that's the speed That's what we do That's who we be. B-L-A-C-K -E -Y-E-D-P to the E, then the A to the S. When we play you shake your @$$. Shake it, shake it, shake it girl, Make sure you don't break it, girl." The tune should remind you of "Miserlu", that instrumental from the beginning of "Pulp Fiction."

"White Christmas Story?" I was sure about "A Christmas Story", but I've no idea on the first 1/2.

Ok, finished the episode with RT and now trying to sit down for the next one.

"The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and..." "Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?" "Exactly." "Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?" "Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten."

I could have gotten this one with more lyrics. Like "You could roll around the globe And never find a warmer soul to know."

That's it. We mixed "Muppets Most Wanted" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2281587/?ref_=nv_sr_5 with "Wanted" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0493464/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 with "Wanted: Dead or Alive." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094293/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 That last one's protagonist is a decendant of Steve Mc Queen's protagonist in the TV show of the same name. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051327/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4

Almost have it.. Except "World" does not describe the short friends whose names are associated with JIM HENSON AND FRANK OZ (but not this time.)

Stealth triple movie. In this movie, a frustrated office worker discovers that he inherited his dad's superhuman killing abilities, which were an asset for his father, a professional assassin. (You guys figured this part out.) In his first time out to use the skills, he covers his tracks by framing a bunch of short friends for European jewel heist, partly by employing a look-alike for their nominal leader. (This movie was pretty recent.) They flee and go into hiding, and cross the path of a legacy (descended) bounty hunter, who's also looking into the jewel heist and the would-be assassin for the CIA, in their search for global terrorists. Actors include: Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, James McAvoy, Terrence Stamp, (You figured out that part.) Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell, Tina Fey, (and others, each in many roles), but not Frank Oz and not Jim Henson. (How is one actor in "many roles", and how are a few actors "each" in many roles?) Rutger Hauer, Gene Simmons, Robert Guillaume (but NOT Steve Mc Queen.) (Legacy bounty hunter, who's not played by Steve Mc Queen. Why is he being mentioned at all when he's not in the movie?)

That's interesting. It's off the 1973 "Greetings from Asbury Park." The songs remembered off that, much later, are "Blinded by the Light" and "Spirits in the Night." (I thought about posting that one but figured I'd be the only one here and now who'd remember it.) Manfred Mann covered it in 1977. Oh, and "All I Want for Christmas is You."

I'm not. I'm going in official airdate order and am watching the terrorist bomb. (It was out of order in the US but not other places.)

Grace Kelly was not in "Casablanca."

AHEM!!!! How is naming 2 movies in a TRIPLE ending the turn? We have the 2nd and third movies named. It was the 2nd I described, and the first in the title. It's still unnamed. It's the movie with the jewel heist and the lookalike. And it is DEFINITELY my category of movie, or at least really was, once. You MIGHT have seen it, and it was fairly recent.

It is. The first one is "Operation Repo." ("Operacion Repo" or "Operacion Rescate" depending on where you live.)

Ok, I've got 2 shows that began as Spanish-language shows and crossed over to English shows in the US. Name either one for this round. This show premiered on Telemundo in 2006 (US-based Spanish channel) and became it's #1 show. In 2008, a version in English premiered. The show was a re-enactment of their daily lives at their job- with, of course, emphasis on the INTERESTING jobs. The actors were all the employees playing themselves. The company handled repossessions, generally of cars. This show was based on the third most famous telenovela in history. The original aired 1999 to 2001, but has re-aired in syndication starting in 2009 and re-airs to this day, depending on the country and the network. The original was from Columbia, and in the US, the original has aired, as has a Spanish remake and a US English remake. The English remake aired from 2006 to 2010. It's set in in the NYC fashion scene, and has been filmed in NYC and in California.

You made a number of claims of things people added or changed. Do you have any kind of RELIABLE SOURCE for any of them, something people could check and confirm you are correct (or check and catch errors too important to let slip), or is it just "you'll have to take my word on all of this"?

That's it, but I always remember the cover that Bruce Springsteen at least as well. The other song was Springsteen's "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)". I used to hear this song air a lot- but apparently, NYC classic rock stations and rock stations are weird that way. Maybe because Bruce is from Jersey, but I think the song really rocks, especially Clarence Clemon's saxophone work towards the end.
