"It's all right; he's one of us." "One of us? He looks like three of us!" "Ay - and equal to a full dozen!" "You're a very charming woman, Marian, but not exactly clever." "He is different from anyone I've ever known. He's, well he's brave and he's reckless, and yet he's...gentle and kind. He's not brutal like...tell me, when you are in love, is it, well, is it hard to think of anybody but, but one person?" "Yes, indeed my lady, and sometimes it's a bit of trouble sleeping." "I know, but it's a nice kind of not sleeping." "And it affects your appetite too. Not that I've noticed it's done that to you"

Easy enough for me. Obviously this is *lensflare* Sorry, what was the question again?

No, and for a second, I thought you already had it.

"I once had a girl. Or should I say, she once had me?" -
That's it.

Next song. What will I post? Ok, something just started playing on the radio.... "Two cars park on the overpass. Rocks hit the water like broken glass. I shoulda known right then it was too good to last. God, it's such a drag when you're living in the past."

I know Alan Tudyk for 2 movies (plus TV.) I know SS from possibly 3 movies. Paul Bettany I know from only 3 roles. This is not "Serenity/Firefly." This is not "40 Days and 40 Nights" nor "The Order." This is not a Marvel movie, so no JARVIS/ the Vision. That makes this "the Knight's Tale." A movie that makes no attempt to be historically accurate, and just has a fun time with the setting, and the idea that knights were the rock-stars of their time. Not Oscar bait, but entertaining on its own.

So it's George's turn.

I have a lot of trouble recognizing stuff off of that album. That's "RIVER OF DREAMS," the title cut off the album. It's easy to understand why when you know the history. At one point, Billy Joel realized he'd trusted a relative to handle his finances- only to discover his relative was embezzling and stealing all his money. When he realized that, BJ realized he now had no financial security, and if something happened to him, there was no security for his daughter. Up until now, he'd been slowly releasing albums once he had a quality playlist. NOW, he rushed out 2 albums in a row. On the bright side, that made him more financially secure (he'd fired the embezzler and sued him.) On the other hand, the fans were disappointed about the loss of quality control. Or, to put it differently, that's probably the only Billy Joel album from which I know ONE SONG. Other albums, I may not remember which songs were from which albums, but if you ran their titles past me, I could identify several songs per album. (I'm not counting "Cold Spring Harbor", I'm counting from "Piano Man" on through "Storm Front.") To clarify the timeline, "Storm Front" was mostly done when he discovered the embezzling, and he rushed the album out. IMHO, it's still pretty good. "River of Dreams" suffered from BJ's need to get more money ASAP.

I was far off until that last bit. Is this "The Jungle Book"?

It IS "the Empire Strikes Back." I've used John Ratzenberger to link through that movie in the links thread, so I thought you'd remember that. He played a Major on Hoth who had few lines. That was Major (Bren) Derlin. "Your Highness, there's nothing more we can do tonight. The shield doors must be closed." "Okay. Everybody to your stations. Let's go!" Oddly enough, the character appeared again in RotJ, but someone else played him (he was on the Endor strike team.) [Then again, I see a note he was in the RotJ junior novelization, so he may not have actually appeared in the theatrical release of RotJ.] ------------------------------------- In the original theatrical release of TESB, Elaine Baker wore a mask as the Emperor- she was replaced in the Special Edition by Ian Mc Diarmid. Ralph McQuarrie is famous in some circles for Star Wars art, but he actually had a part in TESB. Denis Lawson, of course, played WEDGE ANTILLES, the pilot who survived the Battle of Yavin, the Battle of Hoth, and the Battle of Endor, firing the torpedoes that destroyed DS II. Frank Oz played YODA. Billy Dee Williams played Lando Calrissian.

"Stranger Than Fiction"????

Wild swing time- "Caveman the Movie"???????

vpw did indeed play a historically significant part in the Jesus Revolution. By being the person who single-handedly ended the House of Acts, he ended the emerging movement of genuine Christianity and guidance of the Holy Spirit among the young of California, who already were making national headlines. As such, vpw did more to impede the movement of God's Word and replace it with calcifying religion than anyone else that decade. I'm sure the devil was VERY impressed with him.

Obviously, someone traveled in time, either physically or in mind (there were a number of those.) "Hot Tub Time Machine"???

John Ratzenberger Billy Dee Williams Denis Lawson Elaine Baker Clive Revill Ian McDiarmid Frank Oz Ralph McQuarrie Treat Williams Bob Anderson Harrison Ford Sir Alec Guiness I really thought this was going to be a LOT easier.

*smack* No. Let's suppose that Frank Oz not only did movies not involving "the Muppets", but he even played as an actor in a few movies. (Because both are true.) His other voice roles would count, as would his on-screen roles. Look at the rest of the list. Does anyone else's name ring any kind of bell?

"There can be only two!" Ok, I'll find something else.
