(You may have seen all 3 in this role. Mrs Wolf has, although I'm responsible for her sitting down to "watch" Mel Blanc.)

*thinks* Any chance this is CAPTAIN PLANET? ("What kind of lame power is 'heart'?")

Ok, I'll make this about both movies. Name either to take the round. The first movie marked a turning-point in the careers of four actors. They were under contract for 5 movies, and this was the 5th. Bitter disputes resulted in them and the studio parting ways. The first movie itself was not considered a success (although it was not a flop, it underperformed at the box office.) It is now considered a classic, and gained a lot of fans among college students decades later, especially those critical of the US's involvement in the Vietnam War. One of the actors decided to quit after this movie. (Later viewers seem to forget he ever WAS with the others, and refer to an actress they worked with as being the fourth in their troupe, instead.) (One scene, in particular, is famous and has been copied since then in different formats.) This was a shame- the next movie the others did was a tremendous success and is still considered a classic. One of the actors had a chance meeting with that moment's big director, Irving Thalberg. Thalberg explained what the deficiencies were in the first movie- not enough substance, too much farce, so the audiences didn't know what to make of it. He recommended a movie with a more linear plot, to which they could add all the humor, and suggested he direct it. They all agreed. One misgiving one actor had was that the previous movies had been adapted from existing live shows, where they had worked out the kinks in a sort-of 1.0 version, and the best material was then made into a movie. So the director consented to let them take selected scenes from the upcoming movie and go on the road with them. Between performances, jokes that didn't work were written out and replaced by new jokes-except for one scene. It failed on a big stage, but was sure to work on a movie-and it became a very famous scene and a big success. Name either comedy.

For those who didn't get the reference, I recommend the movie. The main characters (protagonists) pushed into a random doorway, and ended up in the middle of a mob hideout, with a gun behind the main one. He began improvising wildly, and continued from where they accidentally gave him openings to respond. "We came about the money." "They're playing games." "You must really hate this place, it will be burned down tomorrow." "I'm new." Then they hand him the name of the guy who's supposed to GET money, and he has something to work with.

Woody Allen. I'm not sure about the others, but Miles Monroe was the "sleeper" in "Sleeper."

"Love The One You're With." I think that's Stephen Stills.

No, I had to run it now before it was forgotten. I had a narrow window before it was too old.

Yes. Correct- as an older Bond called out of retirement. "ON Her Majesty's Secret Service", but otherwise correct. "The Living Daylights" and "License to Kill" makes 2 movies. That means he made one more James Bond flick than George Lazenby!

That's been on for a freaking DECADE? Ew. Wolf Lake had to fight for 10 episodes, and that thing lasts a decade.

I got out in the mass exodus of 1989, when lcm drew his line in the sand and demanded an oath of loyalty to himself PERSONALLY and for people to "FOLLOW HIM BLINDLY". Most of the people who were still in and had sense left in 1989, or in 1990. A few years later, lcm did some more purges of the disloyal. Some time after that came this little monstrosity. So, I fled long before "bad" got to THIS. We had rock and roll when I was in. (Which left within a year of me, before or after.)

Is this "Archer"?

Ok, the show had to survive at least 60 episodes. Had some interesting voice actors. (Like Patrick Stewart and Booger.) "Futurama?"

Judd Nelson plus Ice-T should equal "New Jack City." (At least if I use "the new math.")
-
Those are characters. JUDD NELSON. Robin "Stormy" Weathers is the lawyer in "From the Hip." John Bender is the tough kid in "the Breakfast Club." (Or "the Club of the Five" if I catch it on TCM here. Can you believe 80s movies now qualify as classics?)

The local name translates to "Scott Pilgrim vs the Exes of the Girl of His Dreams." (IMDB can confirm that.) No need to get unkind in our regionalisms, though. I don't buy into the stereotypes of South Florida, nor do I think I should.
