C73. This person produced the album Metal Machine Music in response to RCA Records' demands for a quick follow-up to his top-ten LP Sally Can't Dance. The hour-plus of electronic noise was almost buried as a classical release, but instead was promoted as a pop album. The resulting backlash nearly ruined the label and this person's reputation; both later issued apologies, while the album remains a musical enigma.

Looking at the movies and actors, there are lots of co-stars - so I will print this out tomorrow and see if I can play with anything.

I will have lots of time because I am working background on a major motion picture.

EDITED:

I lied. I didn't have a lot of down time. But I didn't know it at the time.

I will work on this tonight.

We haven't had any action in this game in a few days, so I'll get the ball rolling again.
C7. This actress who recently passed away should have kept her mouth shut.

I've updated the quiz a bit. I noticed that there was one additional triplet that I omitted so that brings the total to 199 - then I noticed that if I swap B103. and C12. there will be a total of 200 triplets. I've updated the initial post with these changes and the associated summations - which I will repeat here.

Finally, there is still a lot of what I would call 'low-hanging fruit'. If there is a demand for it, I can augment some clues as well.

[Updated summary]
Create a set of triplets - one from each of the 3 lists (1 from A, 1 from B and one from C) based on a Tangredi that you have to figure out.
The solution will contain a total of 200 triplets. Note that in 2 cases the same 3 elements in a triplet will be used twice because the meaning of the triplet (even though they have the same 3 values) - they are formed for different reasons. All of remaining 194 triplets will be a unique group of 3 elements.

Clearly many elements in each list will be used multiple times.
From list A: 18 answers will be used 2 times, 7 will be used 3 times, 5 will be used 4 times, 3 will be used 5 times, 2 will be used 6 times, 2 will be used 7 times, 1 will be used 8 times, 1 will be used 11 times and 3 different answers will be used 10 times. The remaining 32 answers will be used only once.
From list B: 22 answers will be used 2 times, 7 will be used 3 times, 9 will be used 4 times, 1 will be used 5 times and 1 will be used 13 times. The remaining 84 answers will be used only once.
From list C: 18 answers will be used 2 times, 4 will be used 3 times, 5 will be used 4 times, 1 will be used 5 times, 1 will be used 6 times, 1 will be used 8 times and 1 will be used 13 times. The remaing 98 answers will be used only once.

And the swap now is:
B103. "Leave him alone, all right? He's a real special kid and, and I have high hopes for him and... I think if he works really hard, he can get an academic scholarship to Wabash College and can get out of this place."
and
C12. [to the unsympathetic crowd around Billy's body] "He was sweeping you sons of bitches, he was sweeping!"
Note that due to the swap, there are now two anomolies in the order of the answers in this list.

A couple more. Sorry I haven't had much time to work on this. It's intimidating!

A37. "Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a fuck what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?"
MY COUSIN VINNY

A48. This film became the first motion picture in Academy Awards and cinema history to be nominated for every Academy Award category in which it was eligible, including Best Adapted Screenplay, Director, all 4 acting categories, and Picture of the Year, since Cimarron (1931).

This must be WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? (It got a lot of its nominations because they still separated black and white films from color films then in such categories as cinematography, art direction, and costume design.)
A70. Holds the record for the movie with the most Academy Award nominations without a nomination for Best Picture: 9.

THE TURNING POINT? THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON’T THEY?
Turning Point was nominated for Best Picture. I'm pretty sure it's THEY SHOOT HORSES DON'T THEY





B55. "Nuclear weapons, Jack. They mean nothing Everybody's got them, nobody has the balls to use them. Am I right? … Space, you say? Space is a flop. Didn't you know that? … An endless junkyard of orbiting debris. Ah, but! - miniaturization, Jack. That't the ticket. That't the edge everyone is looking for. Who will have the edge, Jack? Which country will control minaturization? … Frankly, I don't give a shit. I'm just in this for the money."

somebody from INNERSPACE?

B85. "I cried the whole week of Sam's funeral. Graham says that it won't bring him back. He said that I should start letting go. He's right. Hedy's parents said that for years they tried to explain to her that her sister's death wasn't her fault. She never forgave herself for surviving. So, every day I try to forgive Hedy for killing Sam. Then, I try to do what she couldn't: forgive myself for killing her. I know it can happen to someone who doesn't."

BRIDGET FONDA ('Single White Female')

B115. This actor's character could never figure out how Harry Caul made that recording. Oh, and if you need to parallel park a crucifix in NYC, you can ask him for advice.

Harry Caul was Gene Hackman's character in 'The Conversation,' so somebody from that movie.

C25. If you need to race huskeys or rats - he is the man for you.
CUBA GOODING, JR.

C57. Are we not men? This actress did not tell her husband that she wanted a divorce. She waited until after he left to work on The Island of Dr. Moreau to file the divorce papers. He heard the news while watching CNN in a hotel room. He said finding out about if, especially like that, hurt him greatly.

JOANNE WHALLEY?

C102. He is the most recent incarnation of the first duel idenity hero - the dim-witted, foppish playboy who transforms into a sword-wielding hero fighting for justice.
Who recently played Zorro?

C124. "We've no time to sit and dither, / While her withers wither with her-- / And no one keeps a cow for a friend!"

TRACEY ULLMAN

C129. Well, if it doesn't jell, it isn't aspic, and this ain't jellin'!' - except it wasn't aspic - at least not when this actor spoke his version of this line.

Who played Arbogast in the Psycho remake?

B55 - I just realized this is KEVIN McCARTHY, talking to Martin Short.

C129 - WILLIAM H. MACY played Arbogast.

Could we be talking about the Scarlet Pimpernel instead? I checked it out, and the Pimpernel predates Zorro by 14 years.

I haven't had time to play with this, but I recognize this one. It's from The Last Picture Show and Timothy Bottoms says it. (Not sure if they want the film or actor here).

Richard E. Grant played the Pimpernel in some TV movies. There may be someone more recent.

To move things along I've added additional clues to some of the unsolved ones.

Have Fun!List A - Movies

A2. "I mean, where do you train your nurses, Mrs. Christie - Dachau?" - "I am the fool for Christ and the Paraclete of Caborca"

A9. The A.V. Club' website reports that this films director actually got an official response to this movie from the U.S. government, which is included on the DVD. In addition, this film was denounced by Alexander Haig. Haig was a former United States Army General, United States Secretary of State, White House Chief of Staff Ford, Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, and Supreme Allied Commander Europe who commanded all US and NATO forces in Europe. - I'm pretty sure that someone who is an answer in this quiz wouldn't miss it.

A46. After filming a scene shot at the school, the actor playing the title character pranked young castmates by screaming and ripping out his hair. The realistic gray wig had many fooled and horrified, until the crew and the actor erupted in laughter. - I knew this would be a tough one - and if you got it, you would really be smoking!

A57. Kim Gardener: "It's not fair. Jack Flack always escapes. How does he do it, Morris? I had ten times as many bullets."
Morris: "Yeah, but Flack had ingenuity and the contacts, Kim. That's better than bullets sometimes." - Maybe if you got dressed up and armed yourself - you could figure it out.

A58. In the campfire scene, this movie showed a dad and his son talking about the possibility of another "Star Wars" movie. The campfire scene and the previously shown Obama/Biden campaign scene were set in 2008 . The real plans for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) were first conceived after the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney in 2012. Thus you might say that this movie's script in 2008 predicted the 2012 plans. Eventually, this movie was released in the same year that Episode VII started filming. - And no, it is not 12 Years A Slave.

A62. In this film, the character Dildano's password, "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch", is the name of a real village in Wales, United Kingdom (unsurprisingly, it's the longest place name in the UK). - If you figured this one out, I think you would be out-of-this world!

A65. "Do not drink wine or strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, least ye shall die. Look not though upon the wine when it is red, and when it bringeth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright at the last, it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. Now folks, that's from the Good Book, but in this here town it's five cents a glass. Five cents a glass, now does anyone think that that is a price of a drink?" - I could give you a bunch of other quotes if I wanted to.

A68. "Dear Catherine, I've been sitting here thinking about all the things I wanted to apologize to you for. All the pain we caused each other. Everything I put on you. Everything I needed you to be or needed you to say. I'm sorry for that. I'll always love you 'cause we grew up together and you helped make me who I am. I just wanted you to know there will be a piece of you in me always, and I'm grateful for that. Whatever someone you become, and wherever you are in the world, I'm sending you love. You're my friend to the end. Love, Theodore." [pauses]
"Send." - No - it's not from The Imitation Game.


List B - Actors

B2. "Yeah I called her up. She gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something. I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention." - You'll feel really dumb not getting this one.

B10. He is the only other actor, along with Lance Hendrikson, to have been killed by a terminator, an alien, and a predator on screen. - He was also frustrated that someone thought there were 5 weeks in a month.

B14. His unique style of throwing darts, holding the pointing tip of the dart with his thumb and index finger and then throwing the dart with the opposite end pointing to the board, so that the dart makes a 180-degree in mid air, with the pointed end to the stuck board, can be seen in many of his movies. - but probably not on Saturday's because he is Shomer Shabbos.

B31. "That's because it's impossible to measure love. And, as you know, without measurements there can be no science. But I have been thinking a lot about the problem lately." - at first he wasn't studying White Anglo-Saxon Protesant's, eventually I'm fairly certain, a number of them entered his field of study.

B44. I don't know if there where any lions or bears in the jungle, but at least one vicious animal was enough to convince this actor that he should never get out of the boat. - If he caught the animal, I doubt he would try to boil its meat.

B48. This actor filed a $4-million lawsuit against neighbor Julie Newmar in 2004. He accused her of using harassment and defamation to force him from the Brentwood, California, street they share. A newspaper article quoted a resident not involved with the dispute as saying "She's weird" and "He's a bully." In January 2006 the two announced they had settled their differences out-of-court, and later that year Newmar guest-starred on an episode of his sitcom that poked fun at their feud by having Newmar play a neighbor who annoys this actor's character. - I don't think his sibling had a run-in with the catwoman.

B49. "No. We need Ritalin and leashes, that's what we need." - I wonder if his wife cursed him out a lot for saying this.

B52. This person who had been nominated for the Oscar fairly early in his film career but hadn't won always said if he ever won he would say “I have 2 things I would like to say, the first thing is I've always hated this award and everything it ever stood for. The second thing I want to say is that this is the happiest moment of my life.”, when he actually did win, 40 years after his first nomination, he actually did not give that speech. - I heard this while listening to Kevin Pollack's Chat Show when this actor was on - and Kevin does a great impression of him as well. When he did go up to get his Oscar he didn't travel in a straight line.

B57. "Rufus, Brint, and Meekus were like brothers to me. And when I say brother, I don't mean, like, an actual brother, but I mean it like the way black people use it. Which is more meaningful I think." - I thought I heard this at a eulogy (I hope I said that right) - oh, and two more quotes from the movie where this is from can be found in this quiz.

B70. This actor starred in a movie that based (very, very loosely) on a story by the host of NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me". In addition, he has been quoted as saying "When I was really young I used to lie a lot. Now I get paid to do it. I find sides I don't get to explore in real life. Like, I had to do a sex scene before I had sex. I was 13, 14, and it was my first love experience with 25 people in front of me. Acting is therapy. It keeps you in contact with your feelings." - going back 9 steps might help you figure this one out.

B73. "The world is full of bastards, the number increasing rapidly the further one gets from Missoula, Montana." - location, location, location.

B75. "Milton Berle is on tonight." [said in response to the question: "What's a cow doing inside a house?"] - I really thought someone might nose this one.

B83. "Fuck Martha Stewart! Martha Stewart can kiss my shiny plastic butt! Here I am, slaving a way over a hot stove, making cookies... making Swedish meatballs, and for what? A man who doesn't appreciate me! For a man that can't even wash one fucking dish! For a man who isn't even a man at all where it counts, if you get my drift! -to Jade- Take it from me honey, plastic is no substitute for a nice hunk of wood!" - I thought this clue was pretty easy, in fact I thought this clue would be...

B89. "Time slows down right before an accident, and I had time to think about things. I thought about what an undertaker had told me once - that your hair keeps growing, for a while anyway, after you die, and then it stops. I thought, 'What keeps it growing? Is it like a plant in soil? What goes out of the soil? The soul? And when does the hair realize that it's gone?'" - The lack of responses for this one makes it seem like this clue wasn't there.

B90. This actor died, ironically, while making the picture "Better Than Ever' and his final movie was 'Knocking on Death's Door'. - At least I dont have a big bruise on my neck that is evidence of some hanky-panky.

B94. In Suzanne Vega's song "Tom's Diner", the singer reads about this actor's death in the paper and sings that "he was no one I had heard of". Clearly Ms. Vega needs to broaden her movie going experiences. - Maybe you might find the answer at the middle of the George Washington Bridge.

B105. "And at the same time, at the same time as trying to lead a good life, I have to reconcile that with the fact that with the fact that, yes, I have killed people. Not many people. And most of them were not very nice people. Apart from one person." ... "This bloke Danny Aliband's brother. He was just trying to protect his brother. Like you or I would. He was just a lollipop man. But he came at me with a bottle. What are you gonna do? I shot him down." - No he was not the great one.

B107. "What, you still throwing up bricks? What is this, a Masons convention? Wha... clank, clank! I need, like, a welding torch to play in this league! I got an idea... let's just stop right now and gather up all these bricks and let's build a shelter for the homeless so maybe your mother will have a place to live!" - I can't believe someone hasn't jumped all over this one.

B112. "No one ever thinks they can forget their first love. But we can. "; "I'll tell you something. Seeing you in love reminded me of what it's like. I never thought I could believe in all this a second time." To me your first love shouldn't be an impossible dream.

B113. This actor in an article in Look magazine he related that once while flying over Kansas he correctly diagnosed a pain in his right side as appendicitis. He landed at the nearest airfield and was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. He said he was told that a delay of even a half hour might have resulted in the appendix rupturing. In addition, he conducted the Philharmonic Orchestra at New York's Carnegie Hall (10th March 1958) with his feet! This being a benefit concert, of course. At least he didn't land in Skokie.

B117. He participated in what is reported to be longest fencing duel ever to be filmed as well as the most exciting one ever to take place in a theater. Unfortunately, this actor ended up on the losing end of duel. - I'm pretty sure Freddie Mercury would have gotten this.


List C - Actors

C5. As president of the U. S. it took him several minutes to complete a single swing of his golf club. No wonder the switched him out. - When I originally saw the movie that this clue is about, I had a similar map that they showed in the film and actually tried to find the island of Fabulous Face on my map - without success.

C8. "You will be king of Egypt, and I will be your footstool!" She was accussed of lying about being a war widow - but how could that be when she not only lost her husband but her 4 brother-in-laws in the war.

C17. Photographer John Rutter was ordered to stand trial for attempted extortion, attempted grand theft, perjury, and forgery after trying to blackmail this actress with topless shots he had of her from a 1992 shoot. I guess there must have been something about her that made him do what he did.

C21. Admitted in a 2006 interview on Late Show with David Letterman that the surly attitude he adopts on talk shows is an act he developed in order to be a more interesting guest. According to this actor, he was scheduled to make his first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1973, and was to be in the segment immediately following Diana Ross performing a medley of her hits. Realizing that he would bomb if he followed her as himself, he adopted this churlish character who has little patience for the questions of the host. Carson loved it and it became his trademark. That this one hasn't been figured out is a real heartbreak for me.

C32. "I don't know. There's always a way to blow up explosives. The trick is not to be around when they go off. But aren't you forgetting something? The lady. As I see it we have three choices. One we can leave her here but there's no guarantee she won't be found, and in her case they won't need a truth drug. Two, we can take her with us, but that would make things worse than they are already. And three... well, that's Andrea's choice, remember?" I didn't think this one would be so impenetrable.

C43. He was offered a seven-movie deal by the Bond producers, but quit the role because he felt that the tuxedo-clad Bond would die out in the new hippie culture that had permeated society in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was wrong. We are dealing with the one and only James Bond here folks.

C46. "I always knew you were alive, I knew it. Everybody said that I had to let you go. I love you. You're the love of my life." - I figured you must be stuck on an island not to be able to figure this one out.

C51. She was one of Rhapsody's two mommies. - The fact that this hasn't been solved yet is really dogging me.

C58. "But isn't that what's wrong with the world today? People are just looking for the easy way out, like their problems are gonna go away?Problems just don't go, Flo! You know? So the question here is; what are we going to do with our little problem child? I'll tell you what we are going to do. Something that no parent has ever done for him before. We're gonna love him, Flo." Can't you find the title somewhere in the quote?

C63. No, this person is not a periodontist who drives a Chrysler Lebaron convertible. Don't believe me, check out the bite marks on his pencil.

C75. If you want a maid you don't have to pay for, head over to the Double R Diner and contact this waitress. Maybe a cup of Joe will help figure this one out.

C82. "Okay, James, I wish you hadn't shot my girlfriend's dog. Even though Poe and I weren't exactly what you'd call simpatico, that's no reason he should've taken two in the chest." - It's a wonder this hasn't been figured out yet.

C86. There was a study done of the faces of beautiful women, quantifying the ratio of the width of the mouth to the width of the nose, attempting to find the perfect proportions for the perfect face of feminine beauty (the ratio turns out to be something like 1.7). The movie star with the most perfect proportions for feminine facial beauty, based on this measure, turns out to be this actress. - No, she was not one of Jules' people.

C88. Heaven or Vegas? When she final was reunited with her husband after his strange trip home from prison - it was both. I thought that the film this clue refers to (and she appears in) would have been all about hair dryers - but I was wrong.

C97. "Are you interested in joining? The benefits are terrific. The trick is not to get killed. That's really the key to the benefit program." Of course you may have to deal with a lot of red tape in the bush.

C98. He hid money in a doll and messages in chess pieces. I'm surprised a light bulb didn't go off for someone trying to solve this. Maybe if you didn't watch too many films with gladiators you wouldn't find this clue impossible.

C107. "You should be locked up in that looney bin on Staten Island that Geraldo Rivera is always exposing!" I hope this quote didn't put her in Jeopardy!

C110. I'm surprised she wasn't able to predict that a piece of 17th century plaster would fall on her head in 2006, causing a stroke. She spent time in physical and speech therapy, learning how to walk and remaster her speaking skills. Maybe she needed two other psychics floating nearby.

C113. "'Fatty who likes golf and beer.' Gee, Mary, where are you gonna find a gem like that?" You don't have to be an aristocrat to figure this one out.

C117. [singing] "Budweiser you created a monster / and they call him Drinkenstein / And the tavern down the street is the labba-tor-eye-ee / where he makes the transformation all the time / And a stein of Dr. Buuuud is a pint of monster blood / and it does effect me different every time / Budweiser you created a monster / and they call me Drinkenstein / And they call me Drinkenstein / I'm Drinkenstein! / I'm Drinkenstein!" - Glen Campbell might know him as this type of cowboy. He also might want to try to get his wallet back from someone else who is an answer to this quiz.

C123. Who would have guessed that James Baker was really both Gen. Lord Charles Cornwallis and Benjamin Franklin! - he is, IMO, one of the greates actors of recent times.

C126. "We don't care how much it costs, just how much it makes. If it costs too much, we charge a penny more. Would you pay more to save a fish who thinks?" This was said to the board of directors when he wasn't who they thought he was.

I believe the word is "Paraclete" and if so, then the movie is THE HOSPITAL.

Attempting to interpret the clues.

A9. The A.V. Club' website reports that this films director actually got an official response to this movie from the U.S. government, which is included on the DVD. In addition, this film was denounced by Alexander Haig. Haig was a former United States Army General, United States Secretary of State, White House Chief of Staff Ford, Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, and Supreme Allied Commander Europe who commanded all US and NATO forces in Europe. - I'm pretty sure that someone who is an answer in this quiz wouldn't miss it.
MISSING?

A65. "Do not drink wine or strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, least ye shall die. Look not though upon the wine when it is red, and when it bringeth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright at the last, it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. Now folks, that's from the Good Book, but in this here town it's five cents a glass. Five cents a glass, now does anyone think that that is a price of a drink?" - I could give you a bunch of other quotes if I wanted to.
THE WILD BUNCH?

B2. "Yeah I called her up. She gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something. I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention." - You'll feel really dumb not getting this one.
JIM CARREY or JEFF DANIELS?

B52. This person who had been nominated for the Oscar fairly early in his film career but hadn't won always said if he ever won he would say “I have 2 things I would like to say, the first thing is I've always hated this award and everything it ever stood for. The second thing I want to say is that this is the happiest moment of my life.”, when he actually did win, 40 years after his first nomination, he actually did not give that speech. - I heard this while listening to Kevin Pollack's Chat Show when this actor was on - and Kevin does a great impression of him as well. When he did go up to get his Oscar he didn't travel in a straight line.

SO IT'S NOT JACK PALANCE? JEFF BRIDGES WAS SLIGHTLY FEWER THAN 40 YEARS.

B89. "Time slows down right before an accident, and I had time to think about things. I thought about what an undertaker had told me once - that your hair keeps growing, for a while anyway, after you die, and then it stops. I thought, 'What keeps it growing? Is it like a plant in soil? What goes out of the soil? The soul? And when does the hair realize that it's gone?'" - The lack of responses for this one makes it seem like this clue wasn't there.
SOMEONE FROM THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE?

B90. This actor died, ironically, while making the picture "Better Than Ever' and his final movie was 'Knocking on Death's Door'. - At least I dont have a big bruise on my neck that is evidence of some hanky-panky.
WILLIAM HICKEY?

B113. This actor in an article in Look magazine he related that once while flying over Kansas he correctly diagnosed a pain in his right side as appendicitis. He landed at the nearest airfield and was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. He said he was told that a delay of even a half hour might have resulted in the appendix rupturing. In addition, he conducted the Philharmonic Orchestra at New York's Carnegie Hall (10th March 1958) with his feet! This being a benefit concert, of course. At least he didn't land in Skokie.
DANNY KAYE?

C17. Photographer John Rutter was ordered to stand trial for attempted extortion, attempted grand theft, perjury, and forgery after trying to blackmail this actress with topless shots he had of her from a 1992 shoot. I guess there must have been something about her that made him do what he did.
CAMERON DIAZ?

C46. "I always knew you were alive, I knew it. Everybody said that I had to let you go. I love you. You're the love of my life." - I figured you must be stuck on an island not to be able to figure this one out.
HELEN HUNT?

C58. "But isn't that what's wrong with the world today? People are just looking for the easy way out, like their problems are gonna go away?Problems just don't go, Flo! You know? So the question here is; what are we going to do with our little problem child? I'll tell you what we are going to do. Something that no parent has ever done for him before. We're gonna love him, Flo." Can't you find the title somewhere in the quote?
JOHN RITTER?

C82. "Okay, James, I wish you hadn't shot my girlfriend's dog. Even though Poe and I weren't exactly what you'd call simpatico, that's no reason he should've taken two in the chest." - It's a wonder this hasn't been figured out yet.
MICHAEL DOUGLAS!

C86. There was a study done of the faces of beautiful women, quantifying the ratio of the width of the mouth to the width of the nose, attempting to find the perfect proportions for the perfect face of feminine beauty (the ratio turns out to be something like 1.7). The movie star with the most perfect proportions for feminine facial beauty, based on this measure, turns out to be this actress. - No, she was not one of Jules' people.
MICHELLE PFEIFFER

C88. Heaven or Vegas? When she final was reunited with her husband after his strange trip home from prison - it was both. I thought that the film this clue refers to (and she appears in) would have been all about hair dryers - but I was wrong.

William Holden talked about being in the middle of the George Washington Bridge twice in the movie Network. Intoxication certainly played a role in his death. Was he the actor referenced in Suzanne Vega's song?

C21. Admitted in a 2006 interview on Late Show with David Letterman that the surly attitude he adopts on talk shows is an act he developed in order to be a more interesting guest. According to this actor, he was scheduled to make his first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1973, and was to be in the segment immediately following Diana Ross performing a medley of her hits. Realizing that he would bomb if he followed her as himself, he adopted this churlish character who has little patience for the questions of the host. Carson loved it and it became his trademark. That this one hasn't been figured out is a real heartbreak for me

A62. In this film, the character Dildano's password, "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch", is the name of a real village in Wales, United Kingdom (unsurprisingly, it's the longest place name in the UK). - If you figured this one out, I think you would be out-of-this world!

BARBARELLA

List B - Actors

B31. "That's because it's impossible to measure love. And, as you know, without measurements there can be no science. But I have been thinking a lot about the problem lately." - at first he wasn't studying White Anglo-Saxon Protesant's, eventually I'm fairly certain, a number of them entered his field of study.

Who played Kinsey?

B48. This actor filed a $4-million lawsuit against neighbor Julie Newmar in 2004. He accused her of using harassment and defamation to force him from the Brentwood, California, street they share. A newspaper article quoted a resident not involved with the dispute as saying "She's weird" and "He's a bully." In January 2006 the two announced they had settled their differences out-of-court, and later that year Newmar guest-starred on an episode of his sitcom that poked fun at their feud by having Newmar play a neighbor who annoys this actor's character. - I don't think his sibling had a run-in with the catwoman.

JAMES BELUSHI

B73. "The world is full of bastards, the number increasing rapidly the further one gets from Missoula, Montana." - location, location, location.

I should have gotten this earlier - CRAIG SHEFFER in A River Runs Though It.

B75. "Milton Berle is on tonight." [said in response to the question: "What's a cow doing inside a house?"] - I really thought someone might nose this one.

Another one I should have gotten - BOB HOPE in Lemon Drop Kid

B89. "Time slows down right before an accident, and I had time to think about things. I thought about what an undertaker had told me once - that your hair keeps growing, for a while anyway, after you die, and then it stops. I thought, 'What keeps it growing? Is it like a plant in soil? What goes out of the soil? The soul? And when does the hair realize that it's gone?'" - The lack of responses for this one makes it seem like this clue wasn't there.

BILLY BOB THORNTON??

List C - Actors

C8. "You will be king of Egypt, and I will be your footstool!" She was accussed of lying about being a war widow - but how could that be when she not only lost her husband but her 4 brother-in-laws in the war.

ANNE BAXTER (All About Eve and The Sullivans)

C110. I'm surprised she wasn't able to predict that a piece of 17th century plaster would fall on her head in 2006, causing a stroke. She spent time in physical and speech therapy, learning how to walk and remaster her speaking skills. Maybe she needed two other psychics floating nearby.

SAMANTHA MORTON

C126. "We don't care how much it costs, just how much it makes. If it costs too much, we charge a penny more. Would you pay more to save a fish who thinks?" This was said to the board of directors when he wasn't who they thought he was.

This sounds more like Danny Kaye, who had an acclaimed role in the TV movie Skokie. I doubt Gibson would have been conducting a benefit concert in 1958.

But both the real name thing and the Hugh Grant out of order thing might become significant -- something to keep in mind.
Didn't see this before. That confirms that we're talking about Angela Bassett, saying the line AS Tina Turner in What's Love Got to Do With It?

NEW CONSOLIDATION, PART A

#48 Post by franktangredi » Fri Feb 06, 2015 9:18 am

I'm doing the consolidation in parts because this is so long. I've eliminated the clues for the ones that have been confirmed, either by Frogman (in his comments on the first consolidation) or by myselr. I've also inserted Frogman's expanded clues.

A - Movies

A1. FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH
A2. "I mean, where do you train your nurses, Mrs. Christie - Dachau?" - "I am the fool for Christ and the Paraclete of Caborca."
THE HOSPITAL

A3. DINER
A4. MEN IN BLACK
A5. GODS AND MONSTERS
A6. ALL THAT JAZZ
A7. JERRY MAGUIRE
A8. NINE TO FIVE
A9. The A.V. Club' website reports that this films director actually got an official response to this movie from the U.S. government, which is included on the DVD. In addition, this film was denounced by Alexander Haig. Haig was a former United States Army General, United States Secretary of State, White House Chief of Staff Ford, Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, and Supreme Allied Commander Europe who commanded all US and NATO forces in Europe. - I'm pretty sure that someone who is an answer in this quiz wouldn't miss it.
MISSING?

A10. L.A. CONFIDENTIAL

A11. Two years after defrosting a caveman in one movie the actor (who help discover the caveman) starred in this movie. The character of the caveman also briefly shows up in this movie as well during the dinner scene in the tent with the Special forces guys.
IN THE ARMY NOW?

A12. "He was diseased; but he was my son! And you have... Why didn't I kill you before? I killed that no-good inspector and your professor friend, to protect him! And now... I'm gonna KILL YOU TO AVENGE HIM! Why don't you call your INSECTS! GO ON! CALL! CALL!"

A13. DEAD RINGERS

A14. "Everywhere I travel, tiny life. Single-serving sugar, single-serving cream, single pat of butter. The microwave Cordon Bleu hobby kit. Shampoo-conditioner combos, sample-packaged mouthwash, tiny bars of soap. The people I meet on each flight? They're single-serving friends."
UP IN THE AIR?

A15. THE ELEPHANT MAN
A16. SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK
A17. DIRTY HARRY

A18. [singing] "Telling the truth can be dangerous business; / Honest and popular don't go hand in hand. / If you admit that you play the accordion, / No one will hire you in a rock 'n' roll band. / But we can sing out hearts out. / And if we're lucky, then no neighbors complain. / Because life is the way we audition for God; / Let us pray that we all get the job."

A19. In this move, the Bible quotes are from Psalm 32 verses 1-2 and 5-7 (the reading at the table) and Genesis chapter 4 verses 9 and 16 (quoted by the Sheriff).

A20. "GOLD - GOLD - GOLD - GOLD. Bright and Yellow, Hard and Cold, Molten, Graven, Hammered, Rolled, Hard to Get and Light to Hold; Stolen, Borrowed, Squandered - Doled."

A21. FAHRENHEIT 451

A22. "I see. So, what you're saying is that even though you are an almost-paralyzed, multiphobic personality who is in a constant state of panic, your wife did not leave you, you left her because she... liked Neil Diamond?"
SAVING SILVERMAN? WHAT ABOUT BOB?

A23. THE GREAT HOUDINI
A24. GOOD WILL HUNTING
A25. HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS?
A26. TERMS OF ENDEARMENT
A27. BIG BUSINESS
A28. LABYRINTH

A29. The club that the title character of this film drives by before he steals his new clothes is called Liquid Sword. "Liquid Swords" is the name of The GZA's second album, which was produced by The RZA, who also provided the original score for this film.
GHOST DOG THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI?

A30. IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER

A31. The train crash in this movie was purposely made much more sensational than a train crash would actually be. The goal was to pay homage to the science-fiction movies of the '70s.
SUPER 8?

A32. GREMLINS

A33. "Oh there they go. There they go, every time I start talkin 'bout boxing, a white man got to pull Rocky Marciano out their ass. That's their one, that's their one. Rocky Marciano. Rocky Marciano. Let me tell you something once and for all. Rocky Marciano was good, but compared to Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano ain't shit."
COMING TO AMERICA?

A34. In this film, the entrance and exit scenes of the Men in Black's first appearance in the bar were filmed entirely in reverse with the camera upside down, according to director's commentary on the restored print. The two men started on the bar stools, then backed out of the room for the entrance; while the exit was filmed with the two outside the bar and backing into it, including Strathairn replacing the cookies in the cookie bowl.
THE MATRIX? THE MATRIX RELOADED? MATRIX REVOLUTIONS?

A35. "It's alright. No one was injured. Juvenile delinquents are everywhere. Right here in this community. Boys with long hair and tattoos who spit on the sidewalk. Girls who wear tight slacks. Hysterectomy pants, I call them. And if one of these creatures ever approach you on the street, you are to silently repeat to yourself the four B's" you learned here at RSVP. And what are they, children, the four "B's? - Beauty, brains, breeding and bounty!"

A36. MELVIN AND HOWARD
A37. MY COUSIN VINNY

A38. The "We Sell Your Stuff on eBay" store in this film was a real store; it was written into the script after the location was chosen.
40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN?

A39. ALTERED STATES

A40. William Donohue of the Catholic League lambasted the film and publicly protested against it for months without actually seeing the film, after which his office called View Askew offices and said "Dr. Donohue requests a special screening of [this film] so that he can speak about it intelligently." The director's response was: "So what has he been doing the past six months?"
DOGMA? LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST?

A41. "Thousands of years ago the first man discovered how to make fire. He was probably burned at the stake he had taught his brothers to light, but he left them a gift they had not conceived of, and he lifted darkness off the earth. Through out the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision. The great creators, the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors, stood alone against the men of their time. Every new thought was opposed. Every new invention was denounced. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered, and they paid - but they won."

A42. The picture was shot in freezing cold temperatures. The production had to simulate the heatwave of the film's story, the actors having to act hot in cold conditions. For example, the thesps had to suck ice cubes before speaking to eliminate foggy breath and had water sprayed on their skin and shirts to simulate body sweat.

A43. RAGING BULL

A44. The actor, in this bio-pic, can be heard singing his own character's funeral hymn. during the 'sort-of/indirect' title character's funeral scene, the song is sung prominently in the background, led by actor himself. This may not be too surprising given the amount of music in this movie and the fact that the actor himself was better known as both a singer and drummer in a famous band.

A45. ARMAGEDDON

A46. After filming a scene shot at the school, the actor playing the title character pranked young castmates by screaming and ripping out his hair. The realistic gray wig had many fooled and horrified, until the crew and the actor erupted in laughter. - I knew this would be a tough one - and if you got it, you would really be smoking!

A47. BAD NEWS BEARS
A48. WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
A49. ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST
A50. REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE
A51. SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE
A52. MOONSTRUCK

A53. "The island of Cyprus, madame. World famous for beauty, and long, tragic history. Been conquered many times, conquered by Phoenicians, Assyrians, Persians, Macedonians; also conquered by Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Turks. Purchased from Turkey by your esteemed self, the British Empire. All Cyprus most wanted the British."
EXODUS?

A54. SCENES FROM A MALL
A55. SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS
A56. PULP FICTION
A57. CLOAK AND DAGGER

A58. In the campfire scene, this movie showed a dad and his son talking about the possibility of another "Star Wars" movie. The campfire scene and the previously shown Obama/Biden campaign scene were set in 2008 . The real plans for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) were first conceived after the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney in 2012. Thus you might say that this movie's script in 2008 predicted the 2012 plans. Eventually, this movie was released in the same year that Episode VII started filming. - And no, it is not 12 Years A Slave.

A59. NASHVILLE
A60. THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

A61. [reading an article from "Pain" magazine in the waiting room of the dentist; giggling] "The patient came to me with a large hole in his abdomen, caused by a fire poker used on him by his wife. He almost bled to death and gangrene had set in. I didn't give him much of a chance. There were other complications. The man had cancer, tuberculosis, leprosy, and a touch of the grippe. I decided to operate."

A62. In this film, the character Dildano's password, "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch", is the name of a real village in Wales, United Kingdom (unsurprisingly, it's the longest place name in the UK). - If you figured this one out, I think you would be out-of-this world!
BARBARELLA

A63. ROSEMARY’S BABY

A64. During the UK clampdown on video nasties in the 80's the film was briefly seized by Manchester Police who believed it to be a sex film.
A65. THE WILD BUNCH

A66. Many of the props used in the film were local items: for example the feed store calendar (used in the scene "Are you mean to tell me that there were five weeks last month?") is the State Bank of Delano anniversary calendar (current at the time of filming) which featured photos of historic buildings (some torn down) in the town (and town's past), hence its rustic addition of the prop to the feed store.

A67. "Talk about an all-star cast - this film boasts 58 Oscar nominations and 14 wins (not including 2 Honorary wins) from its principal cast and crew."
HAMLET? AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS? THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD?

A68. "Dear Catherine, I've been sitting here thinking about all the things I wanted to apologize to you for. All the pain we caused each other. Everything I put on you. Everything I needed you to be or needed you to say. I'm sorry for that. I'll always love you 'cause we grew up together and you helped make me who I am. I just wanted you to know there will be a piece of you in me always, and I'm grateful for that. Whatever someone you become, and wherever you are in the world, I'm sending you love. You're my friend to the end. Love, Theodore." [pauses]
"Send." - No - it's not from The Imitation Game.

A69. JAWS

PEE WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE? BREAKING AWAY?

A73. POLTERGEIST

A74. The monkeys that appear at the end of this film were somewhat difficult to acquire. According to the director's commentary, he paid the men who were to provide them only half of what they asked for, as he didn't trust them and thought they would try to run off with the money without providing the monkeys. He was proved right, as they had sold the monkeys to someone else and they were to be flown to Florida. In desperation, the director pretended he was the veterinarian and that the monkeys didn't have their vaccination documents, which allowed him to finally get the monkeys and film their scenes. After this, all the monkeys were set free into the wild.

Based on this consolidation:

All the ones with no question marks are correct (including the two that have a question mark in their actual title).
Of the single answers that have a question mark, 2 are incorrect - the rest are correct. One of the 2 incorrect answers is incorrect in a 'very small' way.
Of the ones with multiple suggestions, 3 have the correct answer in the list and 2 do not list the correct answer.

DOGMA? LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST?

A41. "Thousands of years ago the first man discovered how to make fire. He was probably burned at the stake he had taught his brothers to light, but he left them a gift they had not conceived of, and he lifted darkness off the earth. Through out the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision. The great creators, the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors, stood alone against the men of their time. Every new thought was opposed. Every new invention was denounced. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered, and they paid - but they won."

A42. The picture was shot in freezing cold temperatures. The production had to simulate the heatwave of the film's story, the actors having to act hot in cold conditions.

A44. The actor, in this bio-pic, can be heard singing his own character's funeral hymn. during the 'sort-of/indirect' title character's funeral scene, the song is sung prominently in the background, led by actor himself.

A45. ARMAGEDDON

A46. After filming a scene shot at the school, the actor playing the title character pranked young castmates by screaming and ripping out his hair.

A55. SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS
A56. PULP FICTION
A57. CLOAK AND DAGGER

A58. In the campfire scene, this movie showed a dad and his son talking about the possibility of another "Star Wars" movie. The campfire scene and the previously shown Obama/Biden campaign scene were set in 2008 . The real plans for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) were first conceived after the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney in 2012. Thus you might say that this movie's script in 2008 predicted the 2012 plans. Eventually, this movie was released in the same year that Episode VII started filming. - And no, it is not 12 Years A Slave.

A59. NASHVILLE
A60. THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

A61. [reading an article from "Pain" magazine in the waiting room of the dentist; giggling] "The patient came to me with a large hole in his abdomen, caused by a fire poker used on him by his wife.

I decided to operate."

A62. In this film, the character Dildano's password, "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch", is the name of a real village in Wales, United Kingdom (unsurprisingly, it's the longest place name in the UK). - If you figured this one out, I think you would be out-of-this world!
BARBARELLA

A63. ROSEMARY’S BABY

A64. During the UK clampdown on video nasties in the 80's the film was briefly seized by Manchester Police who believed it to be a sex film.
A65. THE WILD BUNCH

A66. Many of the props used in the film were local items: for example the feed store calendar (used in the scene "Are you mean to tell me that there were five weeks last month?") is the State Bank of Delano anniversary calendar (current at the time of filming) which featured photos of historic buildings (some torn down) in the town (and town's past), hence its rustic addition of the prop to the feed store.

A67. "Talk about an all-star cast - this film boasts 58 Oscar nominations and 14 wins (not including 2 Honorary wins) from its principal cast and crew."
HAMLET? AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS? THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD?

A68. "Dear Catherine, I've been sitting here thinking about all the things I wanted to apologize to you for. All the pain we caused each other. Everything I put on you. Everything I needed you to be or needed you to say. I'm sorry for that. I'll always love you 'cause we grew up together and you helped make me who I am. I just wanted you to know there will be a piece of you in me always, and I'm grateful for that. Whatever someone you become, and wherever you are in the world, I'm sending you love. You're my friend to the end. Love, Theodore." [pauses]

BILL PAXTON

B11. JACK NICHOLSON
B12. SEAN YOUNG
B13. PAUL GIAMATTI

B14. His unique style of throwing darts, holding the pointing tip of the dart with his thumb and index finger and then throwing the dart with the opposite end pointing to the board, so that the dart makes a 180-degree in mid air, with the pointed end to the stuck board, can be seen in many of his movies. - but probably not on Saturday's because he is Shomer Shabbos.
JOHN GOODMAN?

B15. "Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death. "
MAURICE EVANS?

B16. JOHN CUSACK

B17. "Well, you imagine wrong. You know what? You're just a frustrated Englishwoman who writes about dirty things but never does them. You can shove your uptight morals up your ass!"

B20. PRISCILLA LANE

B21. "No, Kev, that's it. Look, I don't wanna be the same as everybody else. That's why I'm a Mod, see? I mean, you gotta be somebody, ain't ya, or you might as well jump in the sea and drown."

He broke into a neighbor's home, shattering a window and cutting his arm. He then bled all over the homeowner's piano. At some time during this episode he accosted two young women, allegedly assaulting one while asking, or demanding of her, if she was a witch. The police literally followed a trail of blood to his home. The burglary charges were dropped, as nothing was found to be missing, while he pleaded "no contest" to the mischief charge and was given probation.

LIAM NEESON

B32. BRUCE WILLIS
B33. ANTONIO BANDERAS

B34. This actor is the son of the famous actor Jukichi Uno. After graduating from Bunka Gakuin University, he formed a rock band "The Savage" which experienced brief success thanks to their hit 'Itsumademo, Itsumademo'.

B36. JOSE FERRER
B37. TOM CRUISE
B38. FRANCHOT TONE
B39. JULIA ROBERTS

B40. Of this actresses 5 marragies, clearly her 2nd one had to be the rockiest. The now bankrupt New World Studios hired her to pose for promotional photos highlighting the Marvel Comics character She-Hulk in 1989 to distribute as a possible movie. Though the pictures garnered much fan interest, they failed to produce interest in financial backers.
BRIGITTE NIELSEN?

B41. "Actor who is the answer to this clue: ""Well, personally, I trust the engineer. He sounds okay to me. This is a professional job.
[Turns and looks at Roget Sarte] ""You're the one I don't trust!""
Roget: ""Me?""
Actor who is the answer to this clue: ""Yeah, you! All your brains are below your belt! You almost got us all in cold storage last night playing games in a whorehouse!"""

B42. This actress was the subject of an urban legend claiming that she had been the model for the Columbia Pictures logo. This rumor was untrue but so widespread that this actress, herself, told Roger Ebert that she believed it to be true.
ANNETTE BENING?

B43. BEVERLY D’ANGELO

B44. I don't know if there where any lions or bears in the jungle, but at least one vicious animal was enough to convince this actor that he should never get out of the boat. - If he caught the animal, I doubt he would try to boil its meat.

B45. "People always look down their noses at hookers. Never give you a chance, because they think you took the easy way out, when no one could imagine the willpower it took to do what we do. Walking the streets, night after night, taking the hits and still getting back up."
CHARLIZE THERON?

B52. This person who had been nominated for the Oscar fairly early in his film career but hadn't won always said if he ever won he would say “I have 2 things I would like to say, the first thing is I've always hated this award and everything it ever stood for. The second thing I want to say is that this is the happiest moment of my life.”, when he actually did win, 40 years after his first nomination, he actually did not give that speech. - I heard this while listening to Kevin Pollack's Chat Show when this actor was on - and Kevin does a great impression of him as well. When he did go up to get his Oscar he didn't travel in a straight line.
I'm now betting it's ALAN ARKIN, who did win exactly 40 years after his first nomination


B53. "Words are lies. Bodies are truth – I have to show the truth."

B54. JEFF GOLDBLUM
B55. KEVIN McCARTHY

B56. This person was writing for a skateboarding magazine called Big Brother when he did a story about self-defense equipment, which he tried on himself while Jeff Tremaine (editor for Big Brother) filmed it. These led to the Big Brother Videos Shit, Number Two and Boob, which helped raise the profile for LandSpeed present: CKY, CKY2K, and CKY3, which were all produced by Bam Margera.

B57. "Rufus, Brint, and Meekus were like brothers to me. And when I say brother, I don't mean, like, an actual brother, but I mean it like the way black people use it. Which is more meaningful I think." - I thought I heard this at a eulogy (I hope I said that right) - oh, and two more quotes from the movie where this is from can be found in this quiz.

B58. CLINT EASTWOOD

B59. Howard Keel, her co-star in three movies, once described this actress in an interview as the most beautiful woman in the history of movies.
KATHERINE GRAYSON?
B60. WILLIAM SHATNER

B61. Where the truth lies is that last night this actor was the boy who smells like fish after spending three days in Havana.

B62. I got postcards from Rome telling me that this actress was voted "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" in 1994 by a worldwide poll of readers of the magazine Class. I didn't do a final inquiry to see if it was true or not nor did I try to dig up any dirty linen on her.

B63. JACK LEMMON
B64. SIMONE SIGNORET

B65. "We were all friends then, remember? And now you want to end his life because he's talking to Patty on your side of the cafeteria. Oh man, that's stupid. I know cuz that's where I wanted to be. On your side, with your crowd. But I messed up. See, I tried to buy my way in. But Kenneth, he's not trying to buy anybody. He's just trying to make friends *being* *himself*. Cools, Nerds, your side, my side, man it's all bullshit. It's just tough enough to be yourself."

B66. According to a 1995 Premiere magazine article, this actor confronted director Quentin Tarantino when he visited the set of of the movie he was starring in. Quentin had done an uncredited rewrite of the script. This actor lambasted Tarantino about his use of racial slurs in his films. Tarantino got embarrassed and wanted to move the conversation to a more private area. This actor said, "No, if we're going to discuss it, let's discuss it now." This actor later said he still felt that Quentin was "a fine artist". Also, his only marrage took place exactly 13 days after my marrage - over 30 years ago, and like me they are still together but unlike me they only have 4 children.

B67. JENNIFER COOLIDGE
B68. GEORGE CLOONEY
B69. ALBERT FINNEY

B70. This actor starred in a movie that based (very, very loosely) on a story by the host of NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me". In addition, he has been quoted as saying "When I was really young I used to lie a lot. Now I get paid to do it. I find sides I don't get to explore in real life. Like, I had to do a sex scene before I had sex. I was 13, 14, and it was my first love experience with 25 people in front of me. Acting is therapy. It keeps you in contact with your feelings." - going back 9 steps might help you figure this one out.

B71. ALBERT BROOKS
B72. PETER FONDA
B73. CRAIG SHEFFER
B74. SYLVIA SIDNEY
B75. BOB HOPE
B76. DEBORAH KERR
B77. RALPH FIENNES
B78. ANNE HATHAWAY

B81. "Korben sweetheart, what was that? It was BAD! It had no fire, no energy, no nothing! Y'know I got a Show to run here, and it must pop POP POP! So tomorrow from 5 to 7 will you PLEASE act like you have more than a two word vocabulary. It must be green, okay?"

B82. ROSANNA ARQUETTE

B83. "Fuck Martha Stewart! Martha Stewart can kiss my shiny plastic butt! Here I am, slaving a way over a hot stove, making cookies... making Swedish meatballs, and for what? A man who doesn't appreciate me! For a man that can't even wash one fucking dish! For a man who isn't even a man at all where it counts, if you get my drift! -to Jade- Take it from me honey, plastic is no substitute for a nice hunk of wood!" - I thought this clue was pretty easy, in fact I thought this clue would be...

B84. This actor was discovered when his older sister, Hejsa, a former trampoline champion, was shopping around for an agent. No one was home to baby-sit him so he went along and it was suggested that he get an agent, himself.

B85. BRIDGET FONDA
B86. STOCKARD CHANNING

JERRY LEWIS?

B88. This actor has played a supernatural being that gave up their immortality and powers to marry a mortal woman in both a television series and a movie.

B89. "Time slows down right before an accident, and I had time to think about things. I thought about what an undertaker had told me once - that your hair keeps growing, for a while anyway, after you die, and then it stops. I thought, 'What keeps it growing? Is it like a plant in soil? What goes out of the soil? The soul? And when does the hair realize that it's gone?'" - The lack of responses for this one makes it seem like this clue wasn't there.
BILLY BOB THORNTON

B90. WILLIAM HICKEY
B91. DAVID STRATHAIRN

B92. I've often wondered what would happen if F. Scott Fitzgerald was bitten by a radio-active spider.

B93. CHEVY CHASE

B94. In Suzanne Vega's song "Tom's Diner", the singer reads about this actor's death in the paper and sings that "he was no one I had heard of". Clearly Ms. Vega needs to broaden her movie going experiences. - Maybe you might find the answer at the middle of the George Washington Bridge.
WILLIAM HOLDEN?

B95. DOLLY PARTON

B96. This actor has appeared in more Robert Altman feature films and television productions than any other actor in movie history.

B97. "Robin is better than the girl of my dreams. She's real."

B101. "I've waited an eternity for this moment there has to be time, is it not ironical my dear husband, you wife an adultress, your mother an adultress, your uncle an adulterer, your closest friend an adulterer, do you not find that amusing dear Nicholas? "

B102. This actress' father is a longtime Wall Street trader who developed his family's multi-million-dollar pasta business, then sold it to pursue funding and development of major studios and independent Hollywood projects. Her mother is a former Rockette and Wall Street analyst, who helped manage her daughter's career. Given her frequent arrests and stints in rehab, maybe it should be mismanaged?
LINDSAY LOHAN?

B103. BARBARA HERSHEY

B104. This actress played roles in four unrelated movies in which her character was in charge of having heads cut off.
HELENA BONHAM CARTER?

B105. "And at the same time, at the same time as trying to lead a good life, I have to reconcile that with the fact that with the fact that, yes, I have killed people. Not many people.

He was just a lollipop man. But he came at me with a bottle. What are you gonna do? I shot him down." - No he was not the great one.

B106. DIANE KEATON

B107. "What, you still throwing up bricks? What is this, a Masons convention? Wha... clank, clank! I need, like, a welding torch to play in this league!
