  2. "Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard. The girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors and the boys try to look so hard. The amusement park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in a mist. I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss. The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive. Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide. Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness, I'll love you with all the madness in my soul. Oh, someday girl, I don't know when, We're gonna get to that place where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun."
  3. Should be Tom Hanks and "Bachelor Party."
  4. "Sorry if that Stings a bit" was a clue. Frodo was given "Sting" (a blade) in LotR: FotR. Gandalf's big scene vs the Balrog is often remembered pretty well.
  5. That's the medium. Who were the bad guys whose outfits were in live-action film and live-action TV and looked tough, but changed to pink in cartoons? And why?
  6. That's "West End Girls", which is not this song.
  7. BZZZTTT! "You shall not pass!" is the line this round. It does NOT appear in MP&tHG. ("NONE shall pass.") Without the correct answer, you shall not pass! (Sorry if that Stings a bit.)
  8. That would have been either live-action film or live-action TV. I already said those were 2 media, but neither was the one where the pink was used. (Nor were comic books, although they also appeared there. Audio recordings, obviously, would not have color.) What does that leave for the colored medium?

  10. Comic books are not relevant to the question. Live-action film and live-action TV are two of the media. You might think about what that leaves as the one with the pink uniforms. Once you have the correct medium, I think you'll remember the answer.
  11. Home Alone's polka king, if you know him, is a giveaway. For me, Burton Mercer (Jake Blues' parole officer) and "Ox" (from Stripes) were giveaways. As was the member of Parliament.
  12. Correct. How could you forget THAT fight? The 3 major networks' news teams got ready, then the PBS team arrived, and finally the Spanish news- with Ben Stiller as their anchor. There was a guy on fire, and someone had a trident thrown into their chest, and so on.
  13. Burton Mercer Russ Lasky John Bourgignon Freddie Bauer Spike Nolan Jack Chester Dewey "Ox" Oxberger Tom Tuttle Frank Dooley Chester "Chet" Ripley Charlie Cronan The Hon. Gordon Massey-Ferguson (MP) Sheriff Bud Boomer Del Griffith Gus Polinski [b]Dennis Valkenheiser Danny Muldoon[/b]
  14. No. (If you're curious, 3 names off that list are giveaways for me.)
  15. If it was the pale moonlight, I'd say this was "BATMAN" (the Keaton/Nicholson one.) Otherwise, I don't know.
  16. I'm sorry. In my family, that's a giveaway. I'll try again, same show. "Now this is all the money Niska gave us in advance. You bring it back to him, tell him the job didn't work out.... We're not thieves — well, we are thieves. Point is we're not takin' what's his. Now we'll stay out of his way the best we can from here on in. You explain that that's best for everyone, okay?" "Can you stop her from bein' so cheerful?" "I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful." "If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater." "Two by two. Hands of blue. Two by two."
  17. I don't think we can recognize this from one line.
  18. Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard. The girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors and the boys try to look so hard. The amusement park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in a mist. I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss."
  19. Who's turn.....it's MINE? Sorry about that, hang on....

  21. Depending on the medium, it can be hard to convey that some characters are tough guys, etc, with some media making that harder than others. Possibly the lowest point for such an attempt was when the tough guys were wearing PINK UNIFORMS. This was especially confusing, because we'd seen them a number of times before (in one medium), and their uniforms were a LOT more butch than that, then, suddenly, they were pink. This correlates with seeing them in a different medium- and in this case, correlation was related to causation. (When we saw them later, in yet ANOTHER medium, the pink uniforms were neither seen again nor mentioned, although there were other changes...) Which tough guys wore them, and what the heck happened? (WHY were they wearing pink uniforms?) If you figure out the orders of the media, you'll probably have the answer already. But how many bad guys CAN be seen in three different media? (Technically, I've seen them in at least a fourth, but that's not really relevant to the question.) Obviously, the setting is pretty famous and popular.
