  1. There were voice actors listed-but I think you chose none of them. Jim Cummings is a cartoon voice actor, for example. And if a character is well-known enough, someone will suggest a variation of the opposite gender- a number of Harry Potter fanfics have been written about Harriet Potter, and you're already aware of other roles interpreted so on television. Come on, picture David Prowse in your head. What adjectives spring to mind? Doesn't that narrow the possibilities a lot? In most portrayals, strictly speaking, he does not. In a few, he does. BC and JLM both played him in 2011, in the same play, alternating the role with another (one played one, the other played the other, with who played which alternating for performances.)

(BTW, at least 1 portrayal was from 2011, one from 2012, one from 2013, one from 2014 and one from 2015.) I think the next posting, I will post all the dead giveaways together.
  3. No, but it's an interesting coincidence about 2 of those actors portraying SH. They also were among the actors playing someone else. George, you missed a familiar name-one that should tell you something about the character....

  5. That was not a typo. This thread usually has 3 actors or 3 roles listed. There's so many actors for this SINGLE role that I posted them in sets of 3, with more than 1 set per day. You already missed one name in the list which should have told you something important besides that there are so many actors for one role.
  6. That's him. You knew his Japanese name?
  7. Ah, Meteoro! Your movie was a box office bomb, but it was fun, even if PETA complained. Your show was popular enough to get 2 different minor sequels ("New Adventures Of" and "Next Generation") but the original will always be remembered more than the rest. And I do like how your family (mostly) sticks together. The only thing that bothers me is that your name is inconsistent. In the US, they neither call you "Go Mifune" nor "Meteoro."

  9. He probably had different people across the week for a presentation that was mostly the same across the week. Hey-it was local and it was current. That's good for business as well as topical.
  10. Al Pacino the Devil's Advocate Keanu Reeves
  11. Charles Stanton Ogle Percy Standing Glenn Strange Gary Conway Michael Gwynn Mike Lane Harry Wilson Don Megowan Danny Dayton (Those are all actors.)
  12. "Amazing Thing near Macy's in Midtown." Or something like that.
  13. Australian??? *thinks* *thinks more* "Moulin Rouge"?
  14. I'm current with Flash until this week. I'm 1 week behind in Arrow and Gotham, and a bit more with Supergirl. 1 week on Agents of SHIELD as well. The jumbled order of the Supergirl episodes will mean I will have some trouble watching the last one quickly (the one moved back a week.) As for the Flash, I'm wondering if Johnny Chambers himself will show up on an Earth, or if we've already seen the closest I'll get to him. (Speaking vaguely to avoid spoilers.)
  15. Is #3 that new show, "Limitless"?
  16. Danny de Vito Big Fish Helena Bonham Carter
  17. Either a cop flick or a sword-and-shield knights flick, apparently. "The Untouchables"?
  18. Apples and oranges. 1979-Reverend Whatever takes twi seriously and talks about them all week. That's in his job description-to warn his congregation about alleged exploitative religious groups in the area. 1982- some local rednecks start an incident. That's HARDLY local business talking. 1983-a local business welcomes your money. THAT's what we were talking about.
  19. If it operates like it did, then you have 6 months where the participants bear all expenses, and pay an entrance fee to do so. If they produce zero classes, that's still a net gain in money. If they produce any classes, that's found money. And the participants are too busy to realize they're exploited.
  20. That's it. Supposedly, in the books, the people in the districts are starving when they're not trying to get more food, and starvation continues to be a problem for the contestants during the games. Someone questioned whether Katniss in the movie looked starving- but never questioned if the other contestants from starving districts did, so that complaint didn't get far. It does explain how she knows archery and woods lore- experience in getting food that way.
  21. I'm not getting G-Translate to play nice for me. However, some English newspapers have picked up the story. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/cult-leader-victor-barnard-suicide-attempt_564f349ce4b0d4093a574903 http://www.fox9.com/news/51463995-story http://www.startribune.com/pine-co-authorities-tracking-reports-of-suicide-attempt-by-cult-leader-victor-barnard/351783541/
  22. This movie's been lambasted quite a bit, at least some of it fairly. The director decided to use a lot of "shaky camera work". According to him it reflected "the urgency of what was going on." Most of the first 1/2 of the movie (or more) was not "urgent" and had no action scenes but still had the shaky cam. Another complaint is that the title makes no sense if you miss a single line in the dialogue- but in the source-book series it seems to be a major plot point about how the characters live and what they have to do to survive. It's also been seen as derivative of "similar" movies- of different categories that don't resemble each other. All of that having been said, some critics actually LIKED the movie. They said it was well-cast and well-acted, which it was, given the script. I suspect critics liked it as much for touching on political subjects, and how well they weren't handled didn't change their rating. The expected violence was toned down a LOT, and the described potential suffering was glossed over. This allowed the movie to get a PG-13 rating and target a much bigger (younger) audience than it otherwise would have. At least 2 characters were described as being black, and the surprise of some viewers at having them appear as black in the movie is a bit confusing, but can be chalked up to poor reading comprehension since their skin colour was actually mentioned in the book.
  23. "Rocket Man," by Elton John. Although I liked William Shatner's cover.
