This 1990s suspense-drama spent a lot of time on the Douglas firs, the local pie and the local coffee. I feel bad for whoever had to try to go to court to prove the big villain did it.

Not the first line. "All aboard...that train. All aboard...that train."

I'm thinking. If anyone has an idea, they can jump in as a FREE POST. Otherwise, I'll need another day or so.

Next actor. Johnny Baker Hap Andrews Tommy Curtis Ben Dixon Hans Muller William "Bill" Robinson Don Farrell Donald Forrester Jimmy Trotter Dave Kerlin Fred Clarkson Andy Walker

"L.A. WOMAN,", The Doors.

Oh. Haven't seen that one in a while. That's "SOUTH PARK."

Was this "Kenneth Branagh"??

When Ringo first appears, he's standing in a spot recognizable from "Hard Day's Night", and he's wearing the ring from "HELP!" George is introduced with the sounds of sitars playing. John is introduced with the line that he has to pull the lever. "I'm a born Lever-puller."

Old Fred and Ringo passed a room with statues or something of all of them, including Mandrake the Magician. The exchange is something like "Can't we take one of these guys along?" "No, I only work with my mates."

YES. I'm glad someone got it before I posted about the main characters traveling in a yellow submarine.

"No wire hangers, ever!"

Most people would say that this movie had exactly 4 protagonists, and I would agree. For an animated film, it's pretty well-remembered, especially considering it wasn't/isn't a Disney product.

"I have a coffee for...oh, no.... 'Primrose Everdeen'?" "I VOLUNTEER!" "Come on guys, that wasn't funny last year!" This was the first "HUNGER GAMES" movie, when the first volunteer from District..12? from that district actually volunteered for the Hunger Games.

I think I've got it. None of the words of the post have appeared 5 times, unless it's "THE" or something. "THE" may matter to GSC regulars, but won't change meanings for anyone else. It was a COMMERCIAL, which means it was almost certainly to sell a product. (Unless it's a PSA or a commercial for a program.) Funny thing about commercials, they have to fit the sensibilities of the people who watch television- or, more to the point, the people who monitor what airs. Sometimes something isn't done on TV, sometimes an analogy is used, sometimes a product is advertised and they can't say what it does. One commercial for maxi-pads or something used blue water to illustrate how effective their product was, without explaining why you'd want that much blue water caught. More often, it's the phrasing that's crafted to avoid saying things. "What's 'feminine protection', anyway? A chartreuse flame-thrower?" Commercials get squeamish about any product that has anything to do with private parts, especially women's private parts. So, I'm thinking the word that was first actually mentioned in the 80s was "PERIOD." There had been periods in history, in sports matches, in punctuation, but none in women's health. At least, that's my guess. Raf's normal use of punctuation meant that multiple periods appeared in his post.

I'm assuming this is "Outlander."

When the first of the protagonists is introduced, a close look will show references to at least 2 other movies- one where he stands, one when his hands are shown. When another protagonist is introduced, the familiar sound of an instrument he's known for is heard playing. When another protagonist is introduced, a reference to the town where he's from is made. That's not the line "I told you not to eat on an empty stomach", although both lines appear in the same scene. I don't know about anyone else, but I lost track of which of them owned the car early in the movie.

For those who've never heard of it, "Hunt Close" is a book written about raising hunting dogs. It espouses a POV that's rejected by modern dog trainers, which is to reward the dog when he does well and punish him thoroughly any time he does poorly. The result, according to modern trainers, is a dog that does what the trainer wants WHEN THE TRAINER IS WATCHING, but otherwise not. vpw recommended this book for training dogs and for raising children. That vpw didn't really raise children OR train dogs while giving advice on both is a point that was lost early on.

Right, of course. I was thinking of the chick flick.

I was hoping for Colonel "Buzz" Brighton to appear. This is LESLIE NIELSEN.

*looks it up* I've never heard this song. I've heard of this band, but I'm only familiar with one of their songs.

Or, you know, you could have looked it up here, since we discussed it before..... https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/3271-twimusicway-prod-early-daysthe-beat-goes-onetc/page/23/#comment-22361 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/3271-twimusicway-prod-early-daysthe-beat-goes-onetc/page/23/#comment-22276 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/3271-twimusicway-prod-early-daysthe-beat-goes-onetc/#comment-18338 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/3471-1978-the-current-phsychological-hoax/#comment-1895 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/1996-words-of-wisdom/#comment-23214 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/4246-twis-obsession-with-secular-music/#comment-68114 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/4389-morewhat-you-gave-up-music/#comment-83343 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/2436-the-intermediate-class-more-leaven-added/#comment-123911 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/8019-vp-and-me-in-wonderland/#comment-193126 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/8336-eyewitnessestwi-from-1966-1975your-stories/#comment-199151 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/39-the-nostalgia-thread/page/219/#comment-258460 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/16921-30-years-ago/#comment-406998 https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/15765-liverpool-legends/#comment-378371

Got too bored waiting for someone to catch up? Yes, we're talking "the Traveling Wilburys." Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty. For "Volume 1", they made up a family- the Wilburys- and dad- Charlie T. Wilbury Sr- and made up names of his kids for the artists on the album. Otis Wilbury was Jeff Lynne (of ELO) Lefty Wilbury was Roy Orbison Charlie T Wilbury Jr was Tom Petty Lucky Wilbury was Bob Dylan Nelson Wilbury was George Harrison. For their next album- "Volume 3"- Roy Orbison was already dead, so it was just 4 brothers. Clayton Wilbury was Jeff Lynne. Muddy Wilbury was Tom Petty. Boo Wilbury was Bob Dylan. Spike Wilbury was George Harrison.

So, Human, are you saying that THIS list of names doesn't ring any kind of bell to you? No, they are not "the Heartbreakers."

Some people were probably burning rock and roll records because of the conspiracy theories including "the Marxist Minstrels." vpw promoted that and had the author visit hq.

The name of the book was "HUNT CLOSE." (We've had threads on that one before.)
