There's a story that goes around about this movie. During its filming, one of the actors claimed he shouldn't appear onscreen and that his character should appear nothing like a human- which is why the actor shouldn't appear onscreen. He claimed the appearance of the title character should be something that was altered to the form seen in the movie. When the top guys insisted, he said he just wanted to see how seriously committed they were to the current version. In all likelihood, all of that was a lie. He wanted to get paid for as little work as possible, including not appearing onscreen. In the final product, he never bothered to learn his lines.

"Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you." Heard this on the radio the other day, if you can believe it.

Fun video. Al at the stage at Arnold's introducing Kenosha's own "Weezer", with dancing in a reconstructed Arnold's interspersed with clips from "Happy Days." I remember showing it to someone and them thinking Weezer had used a single episode. I pointed out how Ritchie's clothes kept changing every few seconds. I like how the included a clip from Fonzie at the dance-athon.

"BUDDY HOLLY". (By Weezer.)

I'd go with that. I'd consider the greatest secret NOT in the world today to be the date and time of Jesus Christ's return.

Miles Davis, cool blues musician.... black. Basher Tarr... unmistakably a British-sounding name.... who could play a black British guy and Miles Davis convincingly..... BT sounds like he might be the character from Oceans something, with the Cockney rhyming slang... The actor replaced Terrence Howard as Rhodey... my guess is DON CHEADLE.

"?" *punches George's upper lip*

IIRC, the only reason we know he was in that role was one actor he trained and worked alongside mentioned it in interviews. IMDb doesn't list it, but at least one wiki does- and notes he also briefly appeared as an additional character onscreen and can be recognized (for some value of "recognized", since I'm sure his family could pick him out.) Oh, and Raf mentioned another trilogy he worked on, that I was unaware he'd worked on it until a few minutes ago.

*thinks a lot* Wait, Jody Foster was in this? Um, "Sommersby"? I know Richard Gere was in that, and I THINK she was, as well.

I can't name the artist. This song was in rotation when NY had an all-love-song station, and showed up in their TV commercials (and 1 commercial when a different station mocked that station and a few others.) I think the song is called "Making Love Out of Nothing At All."

I knew Steinman wrote all of Meat Loaf's songs- Meat Loaf wanted "Bat Out of Hell 1" to have the credit of "Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman" but settled for "Meat Loaf (lyrics by Jim Steinman)". I knew he wrote the Celine Dion song, and all the songs on his own solo album (which tanked and was generally forgotten.) I never realized he wrote for other people, but this makes sense in hindsight.

He worked on as least 2 things you mentioned. AFAIK, he has appeared onscreen in exactly 2 movies, in exactly one role. But he worked on at least 1 other movie you mentioned, just not on-camera.

As you pointed out, Ron Perlman's been in a number of roles. This guy has been in exactly one on-screen role, and that role is incredibly famous. Ron Perlman also does not have a reputation as having taught Hollywood to fence- otherwise he'd have a sword in his hand in his roles!

Maybe a temporary redirect to a static message saying the board is being updated would help, also.

Although both are factually correct, he was also involved in a few movies that were much, MUCH more famous than "Highlander." That's when he appeared on camera. But if you don't know that, there's no way you're going to identify his scenes in actual films in which he appeared. (In hindsight, this will all be rather obvious- who he played, why you don't know it's him, etc.) You've definitely seen him in that role.

George pointed out the lettuce comment was a turtle who lost to the lettuce. Makes sense, but I was thinking of cute cat and dog videos and how it wouldn't be a shock to see a cat losing a fight with a head of lettuce or something. It led me to the right movie, so whatev'.

It's not Rod Stewart, but I thought it was, for a moment. Also sounds a bit like Meat Loaf, but I should recognize all his hits, at least. Maybe I can run this past Mrs Wolf.

Al Pacino Dick Van Dyke Catherine O'Hara

IIRC, Ladyhawke, Biloxi Blues and I forgot Torch Song Trilogy. Now, on to the next round, let's see...

I've got a few vague thoughts on this one. "HIDALGO?????"

"Whenever we kiss, I get to feeling like this, I get to wishing that there were two of you. My heart cries out 'More, baby', it feels so nice, I want your arms to wrap around me twice." This was a hit for 2 bands, decades apart. One version is about as old as me, and the other version wasn't recent but was part of a soundtrack, and Jennifer Love Hewitt appeared in the music video (live, not in archived footage.)

Reiterating a point that got eaten in the server migration... that movie had a lot of actors in it. Ralph Bellamy Trading Places Denholm Elliot

"Another Saturday, another date. She would be ready but she's always make him wait. In the hallway, in anticipation, He didn't know the night would end up in frustration. He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek." "My sister should have come in at midnight, And my mum would always sit up and wait. It always ended up in a big row When my sister used to get home late." "Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight, Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate."

"TIME OF THE SEASON," the Zombies. "It's the time...of the season...for loving."
