  1. I live uptown, I live downtown I live all around I had money, yeah, I had none I had money, yeah, I had none But I've never been so broke that I couldn't left town.
  2. Stepped away for an hour and I'm still able to post! Sweet!
  3. Funny thing and the jokes on me. Oh, this is Us and Them ~Pink Floyd~ but Dickens opening line from "A Tale of Two Cities" says it best. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times". I'm talking about logging in on GS for the last two or three years! "It was the best of times" because I could share and cherish times with the people here on GSC, "it was the worst of times" because I couldn't access the website for some sticky reason which meant constantly having to re-login myself through my email (if you play on this board then you are familiar with what I'm saying) again and again. Anyway I found that sticky thing that was causing it. I wasn't putting any space between the words in my username. So now I can login to the site again, and stay logged in, no problem. OK My turn. Just a sec.
  4. I've been waiting for another comment......however that's not happening. I thought that my last clue about Liam Neeson's height would have sprung an idea. Lincoln is the movie that director Steven Spielberg took 12 years to develop. After 10 years of development Spielberg decided that he would only do Lincoln if Daniel Day Lewis took the role. Daniel Day Lewis won his third Best Actor Oscar and then retired but came back after five years (2017) to do his final film (Phantom Thread) before retiring again. Abraham Lincoln was 6' 4" tall. I didn't want to give the time period because I felt it would have been too revealing. Speilberg addressed Day Lewis as "Mr. President, Sally Field as Mary or by her childhood nickname Molly and others by their character names. Until I post something if someone wants to take this go ahead.
  5. No I don't think so. Everything I've posted is either taken from IMDB or Wikipedia. I've not thrown in any of my own personal evaluation through-out any of my posts. Liam Neeson is 6' 4" its a fact. He touched artifacts. But he wasn't the actor who played the part. He quit after a lengthy period of time and his wife (actress Natashe Richardson ) died in a skiing accident. The Oscar winning actor did retire from movies for five years after the film. He came back for one more movie and then retired for good.
  6. No it doesn't I never said that. I said Leo de Caprio encouraged the lead actor to think about taking the role again. I didn't say they were a slam-dunk WordWolf. I said there was enough there to solve the trivia question, or at least warrant a few guesses. I guess I could look more deeply into this but I don't know the significance of it, only as I had said, the actor wanted the voice he chose to do for the role to be heard first by the director.
  7. There is enough clues here I feel to solve the trivia question. The director owns a share of a major motion picture studio. The lead actor won an Oscar for best actor. The director felt like addressing the cast by using their character names would help him experience what he and they thought were re-creating a piece of history. An added bonus and because today is 6/4/20 it might be worth saying that Liam Neeson was 6' 4'' tall. George lets just say the time period of this iconic role and picture was somewhere in between the Bronze Age and the New Age. Answering this will probably give it away and I'm already trying to do that.
  8. Just to see if anyone didn't know it George.
  9. Cusack's bread and butter isn't drama. Off topic but I think John Cusack is more a comedic actor who also does dramatic roles. Maybe you know his work better than I do which is entirely possible?
  10. Kevin Bacon (he was very glamorous) A Few Good Men Tom Mapother IV
  11. I thought I knew when I read these lyrics but I don't get it now.
  12. You're right I think I'm getting it now.
  13. Turn around George, you're going in the wrong direction. The above is only meant to imply that the voice the actor choice to use for his role was a key part of how the character was built up and sent to the director so he could use it for direction.
  14. Stranger Than Fiction Queen Latifah Beauty Shop
  15. FYI Behind the Candelabra was the HBO movie with Michael Douglas as Liberace and Matt Damon his lover. It would have been a theater release but no studio would touch it because it was too gay (homosexual). Those are IMDB words, not mine. Anyhow, 48 Hours Nick Nolte Gangster Squad
