Game #213: Tonight on HBO

[mellytu74]

B-7. In this movie, as in real life, the title character finally gets the Oscar that he had won almost 20 years earlier.

Not Chaplin.

[mrkelley23]

B-39 Ocean's Eleven with Carl Reiner - Alan Brady (The Dick Van Dyke Show). A-12 ALAN Ladd + A-79 Alice BRADY.

[mellytu74]

B-2. Toy Story with Laurie Metcalfe - Jackie Harris in Roseanne/The Conners. A-7. Jackie Cooper and A-80. Richard Harris

B-24. A Mighty Wind with Eugene Levy - Johnny Rose in Schitt's Creek. A-5. Johnny Weissmuller and A-5. Johnny Weissmuller

(I kept looking for a Dan Levy movie. )

[mrkelley23]

B-28 Bridesmaids with Melissa McCarthy - Molly Flynn in Mike and Molly. A-56 MOLLY Ringwald + A-9 Errol FLYNN

[mellytu74]

B-31. A well-regarded drama on a serious theme, it had the misfortune to be released the same year as a classic comedy on the same theme.

Working backwards, this has to be Fail Safe, which came out the same time as Dr. Strangelove.

B-31. Fail Safe with Larry Hagman - Tony Nelson in I Dream of Jeannie. A-78. Tony Randall and A-24. Judd Nelson

[mellytu74]

B-14. Ted with Seth McFarland. Stan Smith in American Dad. A-30. Stan Laurel + A-54. Will Smith

[mrkelley23]

Another consolidation glitch: this one has both A-55 and A-87 as Anika Noni Rose. I think you dropped someone named Roger Guenvar Smith from A-87

B-26 Three Men and a Baby with Tom Selleck - Frank Reagan on Blue Bloods. A-8 FRANK Oz + A-61 Ronald REAGAN.

A-87 is Moses Gunn. Gets us Craig Stevens' Peter Gunn.

Thanks - was trying to do this during bathroom demo. Not as crisp as I thought I was. LOLOLOL

B-21. The Deadly Mantis with Craig Stevens - Peter Gunn. A-32. Peter Finch and A-87. Moses Gunn

How about TRUMBO? The Water Brennan/Jesse White combo was too good for Bryan Cranston NOT to be here.

[mrkelley23]

The only person I can find in Born on the Fourth of July with a significant TV series presence (besides Jenna Van Oy) is Kyra Sedgwick. She played Brenda Johnson on The Closer, and we have A-46 Brenda Blethyn and A-59 Ben Johnson.

Perfect. As far as I can tell, the only movie we haven't used is Kill Bill.

And I was working on a consolidation and deleted it.

ARUGH

AND ..... Lucy Lui helps us again.

B-30. Kill Bill, Vol. 1 with Lucy Lui - Joan Watson in Elementary. A-39. Joan Hackett and A-64. Emily Watson

So, all the movies have been used at least once.

As far as I can tell, we have not used

A-2. Morgan Freeman
A-38. Josh Gad
A-52. Heather O'Roarke

[mrkelley23]

I mean, Forrest Tucker's character on F-Troop was Sgt. Morgan O'Roarke, but I don't see a Forrest Tucker movie on the list.

As far as I can tell, we have 59 matches and the only actor not used is Josh Gad. All movies are used at least once.

The only Josh character I know on a TV series is Josh Lyman from The West Wing, and I don't see a Lyman anywhere.

My thoughts exactly - looked earlier. Bradley Whitford was in some pretty big movies and I thought one might pop up but didn't see that, either.

A couple of times a week, Boonie sits and watches a classic Western on one of the over-the-air stations. Two, three times a week. Sometimes I watch with him.

B-1. The Towering Inferno with Steve McQueen. Josh Randall in Wanted, Dead or Alive. A-38. Josh Gad and A-78. Tony Randall.

And I believe that, ladies and gentlemen, wraps this up.

[mellytu74]

What fun this was!!!

Fantastic job, sss, getting the ball rolling on this.

Well done, everyone! I'm glad this all worked itself out with minimal interference from me.

Thank you, Frank, for a fantastic game. I"m sorry I couldn't have been around more to help.

[silverscreenselect]

AND ..... Lucy Lui helps us again.

B-30. Kill Bill, Vol. 1 with Lucy Lui - Joan Watson in Elementary. A-39. Joan Hackett and A-64. Emily Watson

It didn't matter here, but for future reference, her last name is "Liu," not "Lui."
