A-18. Her first film appearance with her famous father was also his last film appearance with his equally famous partner.

Equally important: will find nice sensible boyfriend and stop forming romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, sexaholics, commitment-phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional f**kwits, or perverts. Will especially stop fantasizing about a particular person who embodies all these things.”

RENEE ZELLWEGER

A-34. Though usually associated with light comedies and musicals, she also had roles in two classic dramas, as the less-than-loyal wives of a gangster and a pilot.

A-45. “Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper?”

CARRIE FISHER

A-46. She shot to stage stardom with her performance in “Love on the Dole” – especially when the greatest British playwright of the day saw a performance and took her under his wing.

A-47. “Oh, Stanley. I don't know how to explain. A wedding. A church wedding. Well it's, it's what every girl dreams of. A bridal dress, the orange blossoms, the music. It's something lovely to remember all the rest of her life. And something for us to remember too.”

JOAN BENNETT

A-48. Nearly 20 years after their divorce, this sultry singer’s ex-husband cast her in a new television series he was producing; it proved to be her most popular role. (The ex-husband also cast her then-husband in the same series. Very cozy.)

A-49. “I came here and I realized that these women are smart, terrific people who are trying to make a difference in the world. And we've become really good friends. I mean, I know we all secretly hope the other one will trip and fall flat on her face... but oh wait a minute, I've already done that! And for me this experience has been one of the most rewarding and liberating experiences of my life…. And if anyone, anyone tries to hurt one of my new friends, I would take them out. I would make them suffer so much that they'd wish they were never born. And if they ran, I would hunt them down. Thank you, Kathy.”

SANDRA BULLOCK

A-50. This glamorous star was married to her only husband for nearly 50 years – or for just over 40 years – or for a total of 46 years – depending on whether or not you count the annulment.

LIST A: MOVIES
B-1. “A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl”

I fully realize that prolonged duty in a small outpost can lead to carelessness... and inefficiency and laxity in dress and deportment. I call it to your attention that only one of you has reported here this morning properly dressed. The uniform, gentlemen, is not a subject for individual, whimsical expression. We're not cowboys at this post... or freighters with a load of alfalfa.”

FORT APACHE

B-18. This adaptation of an American verse play marked the film debut of a prolific character actor, who had also starred in the original stage version.

B-21. “He's a common ignorant slob. He don't even speak good English.”

BORN YESTERDAY?

B-22. This harrowing movie – which actually managed to make the young protagonist’s experiences even more brutal than they were in real life – inspired a formal protest from the country in which it was set.

MIDNIGHT EXPRESS?

B-23. “My corn I take seriously, because it's mine. And my potatoes and tomatoes and my fence I take note of because they're mine. But this war is not mine and I don't take note of it.”

We won't get in each other's way and we won't insult the other girls. It's the only way to win. It's the only way we all get laid”

HIGH NOON (which John Wayne hated).

[Jeemie]

Frank Tangredi is over here now?

[earendel]

Two more to add...

[megaaddict]

B-50. This movie won nine Oscars without a single nomination for acting, although one member of its cast had been nominated seven times previously.

THE LAST EMPEROR (cast member is Peter O'Toole)

[smilergrogan]

The title suggests female characters in the B-list movies might be important (although the link could be through actors in those movies who played husbands/fathers/sons/brothers of the A-list actresses in other movies). Anyway, there are several movies on the B-list that had few female roles, so those might be ones to focus on:

The Two Towers only had Miranda Otto (and Liv Tyler briefly)
Dr. Strangelove only had George C. Scott's secretary
Paths of Glory (I confirmed that is correct) only had Stanley Kubrick's wife playing the captured German barmaid
Did Midnight Express (if correct) have any female roles at all?

[MarleysGh0st]

Frank Tangredi is over here now?

The Gated Community has locked its gates for the last time, I take it?

No, but it has been very quiet over there lately, particularly when a game is not in progress. Several BBs invited Frank to give this Bored a try.



So, is anyone going to consolidate the answers, like they do in the GC? I don't think I have any answers that haven't already been given, but it's hard to tell while trying to scan the entire thread.

[earendel]

So, is anyone going to consolidate the answers, like they do in the GC? I don't think I have any answers that haven't already been given, but it's hard to tell while trying to scan the entire thread.

THE KILLING FIELDS? Total WAG.

B-24. Thirty-seven years after this movie received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, and Best Screenplay, a remake of this picture received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.

Wow, Best Screenplay again? That ought to be a major clue, but I've got nothin'.

B-42. This biopic would have been the first Oscar-winning movie to deal with anti-Semitism – if the filmmakers had bothered to acknowledge that one of the central characters was Jewish.

THE LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA, perhaps?

B-46. The year after this hit comedy was released, it became the basis for a short-lived sitcom starring an Angel.

THE LAST EMPEROR

[KillerTomato]

Just a note to mention that the Tangredi now obviously has nothing to do withan actress being in a movie. "12 ANGRY MEN" had no women in it. This sucks, since Dakota Fanning was in "I AM SAM"...

"12 ANGRY MEN" also pretty much rules out any Tangredi having to do with character names, since they are only referred to as "Juror #x"...although Fonda does actually give his name once (although....now that I think about it, wasn't his name "Davis"? As in Bette?).

Two of the definite answers are wrong. One is very much a case of 'right church, wrong pew.'

Good work, all! This feels good!

So, is anyone going to consolidate the answers, like they do in the GC? I don't think I have any answers that haven't already been given, but it's hard to tell while trying to scan the entire thread.

CAROLE LOMBARD - My Man Godfrey with William Powell

A-33. “After awhile, it got to be all normal. None of it seemed like crime. It was more like Henry was enterprising, and that he and the guys were making a few bucks hustling, while all the other guys were sitting on their asses, waiting for handouts. Our husbands weren't brain surgeons, they were blue-collar guys. The only way they could make extra money, real extra money, was to go out and cut a few corners.”

JOAN BENNETT - Father of the Bride, talkin to Spencer Tracy

A-49. “I came here and I realized that these women are smart, terrific people who are trying to make a difference in the world. And we've become really good friends. I mean, I know we all secretly hope the other one will trip and fall flat on her face... but oh wait a minute, I've already done that! And for me this experience has been one of the most rewarding and liberating experiences of my life…. And if anyone, anyone tries to hurt one of my new friends, I would take them out. I would make them suffer so much that they'd wish they were never born. And if they ran, I would hunt them down. Thank you, Kathy.”

SANDRA BULLOCK - Miss Congeniality

A-50. This glamorous star was married to her only husband for nearly 50 years – or for just over 40 years – or for a total of 46 years – depending on whether or not you count the annulment.

LIST A: MOVIES
B-1. “A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on.

I fully realize that prolonged duty in a small outpost can lead to carelessness... and inefficiency and laxity in dress and deportment. I call it to your attention that only one of you has reported here this morning properly dressed. The uniform, gentlemen, is not a subject for individual, whimsical expression. We're not cowboys at this post... or freighters with a load of alfalfa.”

DINER - Paul Reiser's toast at the wedding

B-36. The most famous scene in this film was not in the script, but improvised by the two actors with the aid of a handy piece of citrus fruit.

THE PUBLIC ENEMY - From IMDB:
Several versions exist of the origin of the notorious grapefruit scene, but the most plausible is the one on which James Cagney and Mae Clarke agree: The scene, they explained, was actually staged as a practical joke at the expense of the film crew, just to see their stunned reactions. There was never any intention of ever using the shot in the completed film. Director Wellman, however, eventually decided to keep the shot, and use it in the film's final release print.

THE LAST EMPEROR

[smilergrogan]

Well, at a little under 7 1/2 years, you now hold the record for longest between posts on the Bored (this one and its various incarnations anyway)....

Hey, was that my record he broke? I mean jerr87's record?

Darn you, Frank Tangredi! Now I have to update my resume.

[smilergrogan]

A-37. “You let him drown. You never paid any attention. Look what you did to him. Look what you did to him.”

MARY TYLER MOORE - Ordinary People

I think this is probably a wrong answer. It was only a guess, based on the drowning reference. I checked the IMDB page for Ordinary People and it isn't listed as a quote there.

I know Tan held the record when he came bac a few years ago at just over 4 years. You probably topped that when you first came back in '06, but smokey returned for 2 posts when this Bored first went up, so I have her at 5 1/2 years between posts. Elwoodblues' return is also in the 5 1/2 year range, so the previous record was probably one of you guys....

Not that anyone's keeping track or anything....

Actually I forgot all about BeetleManiac (aka WmLGage), who returned last August (but never followed us over here). He was gone just short of 6 years (Easy to remember since his last post had been on 9/11/01), and was the likely pre-Tangredi record holder...
