No. I forgot to exclude that, but his sidekick's name is spelled "Kato" and I would have posted that correctly, I hope. Not based on any comic book, cartoon, comic strip, etc.

A few posts back, on this same page, was the question. Who was the stunt coordinator and sword master for the SW prequel trilogy, who played Cin Drallig.... etc. Then, the answer is Nick Gillard. That was correct, which means that's who Nick Gillard is. I didn't expect you to memorize anything, but scrolling up was always an option if you forgot the current question.

"I'm saying that if CBS was there, we would have 'made' Sports Spectacular!" "What-you wanna do it again?" "I'll be d*ed-a Kojak with a Kodak!" "Might be easier with your lights on." "Why advertise?" "Why'd he call me 'shorty'?" "Because you're small. Small. S-M-all." "When you don't want him he's around! When you want him he's not around! I'm gonna go get a beer!" "Only in America! Get me 12 suites, better yet, the entire floor!" "This infrared is the cat's @$$." "He can say that. He can say that cause if I had the time, I'd take those rosary beads and shove em up your nose." "These rosary beads? Up this nose?" "Yeah." "Will ya take a little advice? Bring friends." "Yeah, lots of them." "Listen to what I'm telling you. You go find a doctor. Get me Dr. Kildare. Get me Dr. Livingston. Get me Dr. Frankenstein. Just get me a doctor! Go where the - go where the doctors hang out." "Where is that?" "Bars, golf courses." "Golf course, bar. All right. Where else? Hospital!" "Try that too." " Maybe next year, we'll do this again." "You all right, Victor?" "Oh, I'm fine, J.J. It only hurts when I point." "This is my faithful companion, Cato... Say hello, Cato! Been a cop long?" "For this I sent you to the best schools? For this I'm spending eight thousand on orthodonture work? For this I'm going broke paying that Beverly Hills analyst?" "I can't believe this is happening to me. This is not a joke any more. I'm being kidnapped." "Well, you can call it kidnapping if you want to be rude." "I've always wanted to be...'Captain America'! It's a living!" No, this is NOT, repeat NOT, a Marvel movie. Again, it's NOT a Marvel movie, of any type, nor a Marvel production, etc. Not Marvel, period.

Well, stop stalling. Race over to one of those other threads and let's keep these moving.

That's it. Anybody here who looked closely enough at the character name might have figured out it spelled out a real name when written backwards. They dropped the final letter from "Nick" and otherwise just used his name reversed. Nobody had to know ANY Star Wars trivia to answer it.

Did you walk in late or something? Nick Gillard was the stunt coordinator for the Star Wars prequels, and was the sword master for those movies. He appeared briefly in the 3rd movie.

Then you could correct the source of the 12-year-old Bar Mitzvah story since, as Raf pointed out, even if true, it's completely irrelevant to the finding in the temple at age 12 since they were there for the feast and not for a Bar Mitzvah.

Ben Stiller Anchorman Will Ferrell

No, and no.

Stop thinking "How would I remember the names of everyone in the cast?" (he was uncredited anyway), and start thinking "He wouldn't ask this question if I couldn't answer it. What about the question am I overlooking that would lead me to answer this correctly?" You can get this without knowing ANY Star Wars trivia.

I guarantee you that you don't have to go that far to get this one, nor to have actually seen him in the movie, for that matter.

And yet, the posters haven't been inclined to watch it. (BTW, Wordpup got it from the first quote. In fairness, his favorite exchange from the movie was the first one i used.)

"I'm saying that if CBS was there, we would have 'made' Sports Spectacular!" "What-you wanna do it again?" "I'll be d*ed-a Kojak with a Kodak!" "Might be easier with your lights on." "Why advertise?" "Why'd he call me 'shorty'?" "Because you're small. Small. S-M-all." "When you don't want him he's around! When you want him he's not around! I'm gonna go get a beer!" "Only in America!

Mel Gibson Lethal Weapon 3 Joe Pesci

Ok, Raf seems to be busy. In the meantime, this question is NOT impossible to answer, and you'll understand once someone posts the right answer. Fencer Bob Anderson was indeed the sword master for many of Hollywood's movies, including the original Star Wars trilogy. He was NOT, however, the sword master for the Star Wars PREQUEL trilogy (Episodes 1-3.) That job was done by a different fencer. As it turns out, he was ALSO on camera but hard to identify. In Episode 3, when security camera footage was reviewed, Darth Vader was seen fighting three-on-one, then one-on-one with a Jedi and cutting him down. That was Jedi Master Cin Drallig he killed last. That actor, onscreen only that bit, was the stunt coordinator for that trilogy as well, and has worked on a number of movies, with and without sword techniques (usually with). So, without looking him up, what's the actor's name? Who played Jedi Battlemaster Cin Drallig?

Since I don't often get the chance to say it, I'll say it now. I agree with Mike on this.

Hello, RD. I got to thinking there was only one way JAL was going to stop shilling his stuff, and that really was what finally stopped him. (That's all I'm going to say on the subject, ask me privately if you want more specifics. Public posting should have a limit of good taste, and there's limits here as well, which make sense and I will respect.) If there's ANYTHING about twi experience you're curious about, it's around here somewhere. If there's ANYTHING about ex-twi experience you're curious about, a lot of it is around here somewhere. You can do a search on something, and some of us know where to find specific stuff. Don't be surprised if you ask, and are directed to multiple links. In addition, there's socializing because most of us have moved on from twi. Most of us no longer post here as a result, and some of us play games in the Game forum, and you're welcome to join in those as well. (Players are generally on the "honor system" and trusted not to cheat.) Feel free to participate in threads, or not, as you see fit. All the freedom twi lacked is available here. BTW, the posters here vary widely in beliefs. There's a few that are close to twi's party line, there's Christians far from that, there's practitioners of all sorts of religions, and atheists and agnostics. We all try to get along, and "disagree without being disagreeable." So, the occasional suggestion that there's a "party line" at the GSC is silly. Other than the most basic "vpw should have been a nicer guy", we probably wouldn't get universal agreement on anything (like "vpw was a horrible fraud and a plagiarizing rapist and simonist.")

In addition, if you're involved in a local church, you're generally not going to be harangued about conforming to the official doctrine and party line of the church. If you're generally polite (don't disrupt a service, stand when everyone stands, etc.), they'll usually leave you alone on the specifics. I grew up thinking the RCC was pretty inflexible (it was where/when I grew up) and was VERY surprised to find out the next parish over was VERY different, and focused on helping people and the community- in ADDITION to Bible meetings and so on (not "in place of", but "in addition to"). I joked with them that they were going to get in trouble if the Pope knew how they ran things, and they laughed along with me. They even held (hold? I don't live nearby anymore) an occasional service with another local church OF ANOTHER DENOMINATION. If someone wants to insist they're pushing conformity after hearing all that, I can't do anything for them.

BTW, it's a whole other experience if you show up at a big party or something, and this song comes on, and the dancing couples all line up and alternate the lines. Trying to keep from cracking up at the ad lib can be tricky. Women: "Do you love me?" Men: *immediately ad-libbing "HELL NO!" The guys jumped in with that here and there when the women's lines paused briefly. Oh, and those of you who saw Meat Loaf do that song live with another singer got a whole other experience. The music kept playing, and the couple really started up a heck of an argument at the end. Raf's turn, in case anyone's forgotten.

I don't usually post undertones (I did with the Ting Tings) but when songs have lines that are spoken, I'm known to post those. Raf got this one, Meat Loaf's classic "Paradise By the Dashboard Light." Yes, they "park" and do some stuff. We suddenly hear PHIL RIZZUTO doing play-by-play of a baseball game, but if you follow the words, it's indicating how the guy in the car is doing. At the end of the voiceover, Phil was reading that last set, with "Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it...." and the woman's voice interrupts in the song. "STOP RIGHT THERE!" https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/meatloaf/paradisebythedashboardlight.html If you ever see the beginning of the video for "I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)", there's a written note to the effect that sometimes going all the way is only the beginning. That was a reference to this song.

"Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here, two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw, there's the play at the plate, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it....."

"EDWARD SCISSORHANDS." I wanted to leave a few hours in case someone else recognized it but hadn't checked in.

I'd guess "Blade Runner", but Phillip K. Dick passed away decades ago.
