Human without the bean

Okay I didn't notice this post until right now. I don't think I've seen the whole thing, but I remember the sex scene with Eric Stolz the campus stud and Jennifer Jason Leigh the virgin that ended with Stolz not performing so studly. Okay I'll come up with something, but don't wait up for me.

I never said anything about them being married did I ? I only said they had fallen in love. Dustin Hoffman and Katherine Ross didn't get married in "The Graduate". A wedding does take place in the movie, and it actually is a key point when the plot takes a twist, but the wedding isn't the couple in love. Oh boy. I almost don't want to use this now I feel it will let you down. My goal, I guess, was to leave enough clues about the actress and her skyrocketing career and then flopping career (don't take my superlatives to gospel, she still had a career, but her roles were limited) and then, I thought to leave something about the quirky plot in this movie (hopefully enough) to single her out. Once you can figure her out I think you got the movie. I thought the movie has parallels with "The Graduate"; the plot characters fall in love with each other and the relationship then takes place in a college town. Both were romantic comedies. The starring ACTOR in fact, starred in one of Neil Simon movies "The Sunshine Boys". Neil Simon wrote "The Odd Couple" (sorry about that one George). Another obscure parallel here is the male LEAD ACTOR had the same character name as that of actor Jack Klugman ( TV's Oscar Madison), with the name Neil Klugman. How's that for a parallel? So let's keep going, shall we. The debuting ACTRESS continued doing romantic comedies with Hollywood hunks for a couple years doing love stories, then, after her next four movies, three out of four very successful movies, she appeared in only five more movies having a sporadic film career at best, in the next twenty years. Hope this gives someone, somewhat of a clue as to what this movie is? FYI: Jack Klugman was in "12 Angry Men".

Actually, I steered you wrong. I wasn't thinking clearly which "Odd Couple" this was. Not Jack Lemmon. But the TV show "The Odd Couple" not Tony Randall. The other one. I will see about coming up with something else. I figured the clue about the career of the upcoming actress losing ground to her Hollywood leading man after they married would have narrowed this down a bit. This is a "Graduate-esk film with the lady falling in love and leaving home to go to college, but it doesn't end with a ride on public transportation. Another hint. The band who wrote the title track to the film were "The Association'.

I thought I was getting familiar with it but the more lines added seem to take me further away.

Yeah, terrible typo I'm sorry. Yes, Odd couple. No not it. I will save you the trouble. That's the wrong half of the Odd Couple.

Okay the lead actor playing the love interest and the girls father are an odd couple was a clue. The father keeps repeating "He eats like a bird" throughout the movie.

I know this was a pretty vague clue, okay, it was very vague. The 1969 movie bears a similar theme as 'Mrs. Robinson' without the affair, falling in love, leaving home to go to school. The lead actor playing the love interest and the girls father are an old couple. Barbara Perkins and Natalie Wood were offered the female role but declined. Anyway, I'm hoping it's now less vague. I think once you get the girl you'll get the movie. Oh, one more, one of Hollywood's leading men of the time is credited for NOT helping the female star to become a super-star after he married her.

I'm surprised. I remember that it got pretty chopped up in editing though. This movie was # 1 at the box office in the year 1969 with the likes of such films as Midnight Cowboy, True Grit, Easy Rider, Goodbye Mr. Chips, Bonnie and Clyde and Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. A good year for movies. The film featured a female star who debuted in the movie and then went back to back with her next two movies and they were smash hits. A popular pop group sang the title song of the movie and other songs as well. It was rated R for mature language and some nudity. Susan Lucci played a small part being in a wedding scene. Jaclyn Smith debuted but was in an uncredited role..

Okay with me.

That's a wild swing alright and you sometimes get a hit with that but I don't think the main character Judah Ben-Hur had a navy. The Roman's did. However, I think Mary Anthony may have been a military leader, so, I'm going to throw something else out there and hope it sticks. "Cleopatra"

It's just "Faithfully", yes by Journey. The other Journey song before, with the Madonna comment I made, was a song from the soundtrack of the Matthew Modine, Linda Fiorentino movie "Vision Quest" song titled "Only the Young" but if you had seen the movie you would probably recognize Madonna doing a cameo, singing in a restaurant/ bar "Crazy For You". She was relatively unknown at the time in 1983, having only released her first album. You're up WordWolf.

Okay same group, but a different song and don't think Madonna. Highway run Into the midnight sun Wheels go round and round You're on my mind Restless hearts Sleep alone tonight Sendin' all my love Along the wire

I'm sorry WordWolf, but this is boring me out of my mind. ONE LINE. Pretty simple. Songs with lots and lots of airtime to establish them from other songs because of its memorable content. Furthermore, it could be that I'm just a boring old goat and I have lost any sensibility for sinister jabbing and poking fun at your competitor, but this isn't any fun. I'll be sitting out the rest of this round. Nothing personal. Don't take offense.

Now I know there is an artist named "Both of You".. This one is vaguely familiar. Scene of Martin King Jr. assassination. I know I've heard it before. I don't know if I can get the name from just these lines. I would need more.

Another night in any town You can hear the thunder of their cry Ahead of their time They wonder why "Shadows of a golden age A generation waits for dawn Brave carry on Bold and the strong" Title of the song They're free to fly away Sharing the same desire Burnin' like wildfire They're seein' through the promises And all the lies they dare to tell Is it heaven or hell? They know very well Think Madonna

I know how you feel. Sometimes, I learn later the names of some groups whom I have been listening to for years, i.e., 'Missing Persons', 'The Band', 'The Lemonheads' mostly 80's bands, but I don't know who "Both of You" is by name. May I make a suggestion then WordWolf that you choose a different song by them so we can move forward. "No shame in taking a pass". Movie line from a movie I like that I never thought I could use in a conversation.

Not getting it either, huh, I got nothing. Does this band have a least have more songs than a one-hit wonder?

Again, sorry, I cleared up some memory on my computer and by doing so, I couldn't log back in automatically and it took some time to find my way back in. So, tune, tune, tune, oh, oh, oh okay. "Shadows of a golden age A generation waits for dawn Brave carry on Bold and the strong"

Sorry, but I locked out. Wasn't sure if I could get back in (log-in) or not, it's been so long. I cleared up some memory and I remember it saying I could loose passwords or something and I thought, "I know all my passwords". Anyway, finally I have a clue. "There's a Serial burglar, we've been chasing him for months. A real trickster, Capt. been riding my sass the entire time. Sentencing was today. Judge is female" "Landers" "That's right Landers". "I know Landers. Sharp Lady". (Everyone laughs) "Before the hearing, the guy gets a hold of some peanut butter and packs his sass crack with it". What!!!!!1 (more laughing) "And he's standing tall before the bench and he's ready to give a statement so he shoves his hand down his pants and comes out with a gob of extra-chunky Jif (everybody laughs), bailiffs won't come near him. Now he's looking the judge right in the eyes, licks his fingers clean. So the judge says, oh, this poor man's insane. He can't go to prison. Orders him to psychiatric". "She fell for it". "That's because she is so fricking smart, the time she found out it was sandwich spread the order was signed and the guy was transferred".

Yeah, I got that. I'm better when sign language is used instead of HEllo Hello. I just didn't read his post.

Here something to listen to while I come up with something.

That's close enough. I get that you get it WordWolf by the Weird Al version of ~The Kinks~ Lola. La La La La Lola.
