One of the lead actor's first roles was as a Von Trapp child in The Sound of Music (movie). The show was canceled primarily because the network did not want to be too closely associated with its genre: it already had two successful shows in the genre and only kept one of them. The original pilot was given a theatrical release in some countries, but not in the USA. The main character would not be seen in theaters again for another 25 years. Since then, he's been on the big screen 11 times.

"You're a good man. Your brother is a good man. I assure you, there are other good men. Let us hope the will of good men is enough to counter the terrible strength of this thing that was put in motion." * "And they fire their missiles. And we fire ours." * "We gave up so much to get here. I don't know. Sometimes I think, what the hell did we do it for?" "Well, I don't know about you, but... I'm in it for the money."

Ok i'm up

Sorry. Saturday.

No

Star Trek II Redux (aka, Star Trek Into Darkness)

Name the actor who played: Richard Cross Ceasar Flickerman Jack Warner Frank Nitti

The Robert Blake movie is indeed "In Cold Blood" This movie is indeed "Capote." Truman Capote is the real life inspiration for the character Dill in "To Kill a Mockingbird," whose author, Harper Lee, was one of Capote's best friends. She was a character in both Capote (played by Catherine Keener) and in "Infamous" (played by Sandra Bullock). Infamous came out a few months after Capote and starred Toby Jones, better known to fans of this site, I suspect, as Armin Zola in the first two Captain America movies.

This movie falls loosely into the genre of movies about the making of other movies [actually, it's more of a movie about the work that went into a book that was later made into a movie that starred Robert Blake]. This movie was nominated for best picture. Its lead performer won Best Actor. A fictionalized version of the main character in this movie appears as a child in a novel by another author, itself made into a classic film. The author of the other novel is a character in this movie. A similar movie was released a few months later. It, too, was acclaimed, but suffered from coming out so soon after this one. Still, it's definitely worth watching. To win this round, name ANY movie referenced in this clue: This movie.... The book/Robert Blake movie that this movie is about The classic novel/movie that featured the main character of this movie as a fictionalized character (as a child) The similar movie that came out a few months later.

I am.

Nah, this is Little Shop of Horrors. And I actually saw the version with the original ending. It was... awful. I mean, just really bad. It was like, wait, WHAT? It kinda worked on stage because it was absurd, but as a movie it was godawful. Ok, you talked me into it. Here it is (this leaves out the part where Audrey willingly gives herself to the plant, and Seymour goes along with it, because she dies in his arms and he just carries her to the plant. That sequence starts at the 2:11 mark in this montage of death scenes from the movie). The movie we saw gets different at the part where Jim Belushi shows up. Mean Green Mother is about the same except for, obviously, the very end of it. You'll start seeing the difference in this clip at around the four minute mark or so.

JFK blown away what else do I have to say! We didn't start the fire. It was always burnin since the world's been turnin...

what else do I have to say? [Chorus]

Rob Lowe? Really? Wow.

An amusing thought just struck me. As we sit at home (many of us. Most of us?) during this coronavirus scare, GSC has not seen any bounce in activity. And I can't help but laugh. Remember all those drive-by posters who poked their heads in and said "GET A LIFE"? Whatever happened to them? Because a lot of us clearly did. GSC was (as it should have been) a resource, a place to seek and find understanding, alternate voices, sympathetic ears. A place to hurt and to heal. The majority of people who stopped posting are, indeed, success stories. They got a life! To those who left, to those still here, to those we've lost along the way... Cheers! This cafe is still open.

Wait, no, it can't be Law n Order. It's a SEQUEL to show B that just had episodes. So I'm switching my answer to Star Trek TNG. Discovery doesn't count as a sequel, but Star Trek Picard does. And that just wrapped its first season.

Ok, so first there's Show A Then there's Show B, which spun off/is a sequel to Show A Show B has at least two "spinoffs" (let's call them C and D), ONE of which is either ongoing or recently concluded. We're looking for Show B. The only shows I can THINK of that fit this bill, although there could easily be a show I can't think of, are Star Trek and Law n Order. So it's either TNG or SVU. I'm gonna go with Law and Order SVU (which is still going on and renewed until the 3041 season, if I'm not mistaken. That's not a typo, but it is a joke).

I think I can see a murder from over here!

Natalie Dormer and Orson Wells played the same role?

All the other clues point to Gump, so I did some digging. Gump and Co. was published in 1995. The screenplay for Gump n Co was turned in on Sept 10, 2001.

If it is Gump, then that hint about the manuscript is wrong. The sequel was published in 1995

I rarely buy physical copies of movies anymore. VUDU allows you to convert DVDs to digital for a nominal fee [not so nominal if you have more than 100 movies, of course, but still, per film...]. Anyway, streaming services would probably qualify as its own thread. HBO Go is already very good and I hope the Green Lantern series is not yet ANOTHER service.

Life in One Day Howard Jones. That song got me through my divorce

Misspelled but correct.

Free post if someone has one. Otherwise, I'll come up with something shortly, but don't feel obliged to wait.
