  1. And Walter Matthau's more famous collaboration with Neil Simon was The Odd Couple. You're up, George!
  2. I was going to say Good Times, but that show got a proper finale. And I don't think Janet DoBois sang the credits song. Good Times was a hell of a lot more popular than Maude, though. Long running spinoffs... Laverne and Shirley... AH! I know! The Jeffersons! Final answer.
  3. The Canada rhyme was pre-fame Lin Manuel Miranda (known for the Broadway show Hamilton). For anyone lurking, modcat5 and I are the same person. Sometimes I get too lazy to switch, but modcat5 is supposed to be when I act in official capacity as a moderator. Consider this a disclaimer and public notification. :)
  4. The movie is not set in Florida. It is also not salty, bitter or sour.
  5. Stars included Walter Matthau, Maggie Smith, Michael Caine, Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor. Oh, and Jane Fonda.
  6. The movie tells four stories taking place in the same general location. The structure was similar to the Love Boat, where you're introduced to the characters at the beginning and then alternate in their stories as the running time progresses. The four stories were called "Visitors from London," "Visitors from Chicago," "Visitor from New York" and "Visitor from Philadelphia." The visitor from Philadelphia was played by an actor known for cantankerous roles. It was not his most famous screen collaboration with the original playwright.
  7. It's one thing to repeat your point. It's another to make the same point over and over again, in different topics. What do you think of dispensationalism? It's a way to reconcile inconsistencies in a made up theology. Can you lose salvation? Sure! Why not? Or why? It's all made up. What do you think of the Trinity? Someone made it up. SIT? Made up. Are all governments from God? No. That's made up. Make up? Only after a fight. That's what I was referring to by redundancy. Anyone who's been on this site more than half an hour knows I am not above beating a dead horse. But it has to be warranted. It shouldn't be like Stan Lee showing up in every Marvel movie to make a conspicuous "Look at me, I'm Stan Lee" appearance.
  8. Great answers! Of course, I'm biased because one of those answers was REALLY flattering. That said, I do try not to be rude, but I think WordWolf hit on my subconscious question in his answer: I think my comments, if I were to really let loose, would run the risk of being repetitive. Not to mention redundant. In other words, I've said it already. Thanks. Any other feedback will be welcomed.
  9. Based on a play where one character mentions Michael Caine to her husband. In the movie, the husband is played by Michael Caine. The reference was changed to David Niven.
  10. Just fishing for some advice and conversation here. I'm following a bunch of different conversations in doctrinal that I continue to find interesting, but I haven't really jumped into many. Mostly my concern is redundancy. I mean, how many times can I say "because it's made up" before it gets old, even if I restrict such posts to the "picking up threads" thread? So here's my question: when does it become rude for a non-believer to insert that perspective into various conversations? I could go on, but I'd prefer to leave the question open-ended and allow anyone who wishes to take the topic where it may lead.
  11. P.S. I knew who Tom Hulce was. I just didn't remember that he was in Animal House.
  12. I may have used this before, but so what. One of the stars of this movie plays a movie star who is nominated for an Oscar. She loses. But the actress playing her did such a good job that she was nominated for an Oscar. She won.
  13. I'm going to guess Animal House based on "arguably more famous than Footloose," Kevin Bacon, and Donald Sutherland (whose son, Kiefer, has had a strong TV and movie career." Died of a drug overdose: John Belushi Karen Allen helped Indiana Jones. Yeah, this is Animal House
  14. He does sound Dazed and Confused, but that is not the answer. I could offer more hints, but really, you should be able to get this one without a clue.
  15. You would never know it from the title. Or the cast of characters. Or the wardrobe. Or the vernacular. Or the setting. But if you pay careful attention to the plot, you might recognize Jane Austen's "Emma" as the source material for this extremely popular and trend-setting high school comedy.
  16. Wow. This one's been dormant for a while... "Uh I've just been handed a news flash. The word "Canada" is unrhymeable. It's easier to - I don't know - get drunk and try to climb a bull. But Canada, damn it, ask any man on the planet and watch their stammerin' stamina as they clamor and cram it into the middle of a sentence for a shot at repentance, pass the problem on to all their non-rhyming descendants. I've never met anyone who could clean up after Canada. Except my Uncle Tony from the Bronx. He's a janitor."
  17. Ok, just from the clues... It's a 1968 movie, making 2018 the 50th anniversary. Hot Wheels could make a collectible out of an easily recognized... prop. Note, he did not say CAR. So it's either a space ship or a boat of come kind. And the dialogue is silly. Parody-like. This is a comedy with broad humor. Successful soundtrack, but FFS please don't remake it. I'm going to go with.... Yellow Submarine.
  18. A madman bent on world domination is thwarted by a British secret agent. What do I win?
  19. Can I just say James Bond and get partial credit? Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in "Just Like All the Brosnan Bond Movies"

    TWI saved my life

    Welcome to Greasespot, Jimbo. While I am no longer a believer, I would be quite interested in the perspective of someone with a Master of Divinity over in Doctrinal. We lost one of our more academic voices recently. Be nice to have some of that back. :)
