FRIDAY NIGHT CONSOLIDATION:
Game #151: Hollywood Menage a Trois
Identify the 80 actors in the clues below. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match them into 32 groups of three according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Twelve actors will be used twice and two will be used three times.
I’m allowing one variable, and only one, in the creation of the triples. You’ll see.
1. An editorial in the Chicago Tribune complained that this actor was responsible for the "effeminization of the American male." The actor responded by challenging the writer to a boxing match. Subsequently, the actor fought – and beat – another writer from the same paper.
RUDOLF VALENTINO
2. “All playwrights should be dead for three hundred years!”
BETTE DAVIS
3. In a big-budget 1965 comedy, this French actor engaged in a highly unusual duel with Goldfinger.

4. “Say, mister, will you stake a fellow American to a meal?”

6. “There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone, and this old man is all that's left.”
MORGAN FREEMAN
7. He recently became the fourth Oscar-winning actor ever to have been married to an Oscar-winning actress.
NICOLAS CAGE
8. “Of course machines can't think as people do. A machine is different from a person. Hence, they think differently. The interesting question is, just because something, uh, thinks differently from you, does that mean it's not thinking? Well, we allow for humans to have such divergences from one another. You like strawberries, I hate ice-skating, you cry at sad films, I am allergic to pollen. What is the point of different tastes, different preferences, if not, to say that our brains work differently, that we think differently? And if we can say that about one another, then why can't we say the same thing for brains built of copper and wire, steel?”
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
9. He was the first actor to reprise the role that won him an Oscar.
WARNER BAXTER
10. “Mom died when I was three, and I suppose Dad did the best he could. Instead of Mother Goose, I was put to bed at night to stories of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and the great Shoeless Joe Jackson. Dad was a Yankees fan then, so of course I rooted for Brooklyn. But in '58, the Dodgers moved away, so we had to find other things to fight about. We did. And when it came time to go to college, I picked the farthest one from home I could find. This, of course, drove him right up the wall, which I suppose was the point.”
KEVIN COSTNER
11. The resume of this Italian beauty includes films directed by Federico Fellini, Sergio Leone, Werner Herzog, and Richard Brooks.
CLAUDIA CARDINALE
12. “I wish, I wish/I wish I were a fish/’Causes fishes have a better life than people.”

GRACE KELLY

And I got the feeling that he was disappointed that I never cut loose on anyone, right? So I'm sitting in the locker room and I'm taping up my knee, and Larry's undressing a couple lockers down from me. And he's kinda, he's kinda skinny. Weak. And I started thinkin' about my father, and his attitude about, about weakness. And the next thing I knew, I jumped on top of him and started whaling on him. And my friends, they just laughed and cheered me on. And afterwards, when I'm sitting in Vernon's office, all I could think about was Larry's father and Larry having to go home and explain what happened to him. And the humiliation - the f**king humiliation he must have felt. It must have been unreal. I mean, how... how do you apologize for something like that? There's no way. It's all because of me and my old man. God, I f**king hate him. He's like this mindless machine that I can't even relate to anymore.”

RONALD REAGAN
46. “Gentlemen, I address you not as judge and jury, but as a fellow American male. The crime that you have just seen Harold Lampson commit in his imagination I have been accused of committing in reality. Too long has the American man allowed himself to be bullied, coddled, and mothered, and tyrannized, and in general meant to feel like a feeble-minded idiot by the female of the species. Do you realize the power that you have in your hand here today? If one man - just one man - can stick his wife in the goop from the gloppitta-gloppitta machine, and get away with it! Whoa-ho-ho, boy, we've got it made. We have got it made. All of us.”

Re: Game #151: Hollywood Menage a Trois
Acquanetta.
Acquanetta made maybe 10 movies. Most of them (if not all) B movies.
Jungle Woman. Wild Woman. Tarzan and the Leopard Woman.
SO, I am wondering if we are looking for someone who ties in with titles.
She has to be a key to this ....

FRIDAY NIGHT CONSOLIDATION:
Game #151: Hollywood Menage a Trois
Identify the 80 actors in the clues below. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match them into 32 groups of three according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Twelve actors will be used twice and two will be used three times.
I’m allowing one variable, and only one, in the creation of the triples. You’ll see.
1. An editorial in the Chicago Tribune complained that this actor was responsible for the "effeminization of the American male." The actor responded by challenging the writer to a boxing match. Subsequently, the actor fought – and beat – another writer from the same paper.
RUDOLF VALENTINO
2. “All playwrights should be dead for three hundred years!”
BETTE DAVIS
3. In a big-budget 1965 comedy, this French actor engaged in a highly unusual duel with Goldfinger.
JEAN-PIERRE CASSEL
4. “Say, mister, will you stake a fellow American to a meal?”
HUMPHREY BOGART
5. She played the title role in a movie and took the title song from that movie all the way to #1 on the Billboard Top 100. Nine years later, she played the title role in a movie about someone else who took a song to #1 on the Billboard Top 100. Got that?
6. “There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone, and this old man is all that's left.”
MORGAN FREEMAN
7. He recently became the fourth Oscar-winning actor ever to have been married to an Oscar-winning actress.
NICOLAS CAGE
8. “Of course machines can't think as people do. A machine is different from a person. Hence, they think differently. The interesting question is, just because something, uh, thinks differently from you, does that mean it's not thinking? Well, we allow for humans to have such divergences from one another. You like strawberries, I hate ice-skating, you cry at sad films, I am allergic to pollen. What is the point of different tastes, different preferences, if not, to say that our brains work differently, that we think differently? And if we can say that about one another, then why can't we say the same thing for brains built of copper and wire, steel?”
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
9. He was the first actor to reprise the role that won him an Oscar.
WARNER BAXTER
10. “Mom died when I was three, and I suppose Dad did the best he could. Instead of Mother Goose, I was put to bed at night to stories of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and the great Shoeless Joe Jackson. Dad was a Yankees fan then, so of course I rooted for Brooklyn. But in '58, the Dodgers moved away, so we had to find other things to fight about. We did. And when it came time to go to college, I picked the farthest one from home I could find. This, of course, drove him right up the wall, which I suppose was the point.”
KEVIN COSTNER
11. The resume of this Italian beauty includes films directed by Federico Fellini, Sergio Leone, Werner Herzog, and Richard Brooks.
CLAUDIA CARDINALE
12. “I wish, I wish/I wish I were a fish/’Causes fishes have a better life than people.”

15. Cartoonist Milton Caniff claimed that he modeled the Dragon Lady after this actress.
JOAN CRAWFORD? GAIL SONDERGAARD?

GRACE KELLY
17. In 2006, he officially announced that he no longer wanted to be known by the name that had brought him fame in his pre-film career, and that he now considered himself an actor exclusively.
DWAYNE JOHNSON? MARK WAHLBERG?
18. “I did it for my old man. I tortured this poor kid because I wanted him to think that I was cool. He's always going off about how when he was in school and all the wild things he used to do. And I got the feeling that he was disappointed that I never cut loose on anyone, right? So I'm sitting in the locker room and I'm taping up my knee, and Larry's undressing a couple lockers down from me. And he's kinda, he's kinda skinny. Weak. And I started thinkin' about my father, and his attitude about, about weakness. And the next thing I knew, I jumped on top of him and started whaling on him. And my friends, they just laughed and cheered me on. And afterwards, when I'm sitting in Vernon's office, all I could think about was Larry's father and Larry having to go home and explain what happened to him. And the humiliation - the f**king humiliation he must have felt. It must have been unreal. I mean, how... how do you apologize for something like that? There's no way. It's all because of me and my old man. God, I f**king hate him. He's like this mindless machine that I can't even relate to anymore.”
EMILIO ESTEVEZ

Re: Game #151: Hollywood Menage a Trois
I thought I'd make one more quick consolidation with three groups: the unanswered questions, the ones with both correct and incorrect guesses, and the definite answers. I'm including the Ben Kingsley/Mel Gibson answers as definite, even though they weren't in the consolidation validated by Frank.
Game #151: Hollywood Menage a Trois

Game #151: Hollywood Menage a Trois
Identify the 80 actors in the clues below. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match them into 32 groups of three according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Twelve actors will be used twice and two will be used three times.
I’m allowing one variable, and only one, in the creation of the triples. You’ll see.
5. She played the title role in a movie and took the title song from that movie all the way to #1 on the Billboard Top 100. Nine years later, she played the title role in a movie about someone else who took a song to #1 on the Billboard Top 100. Got that?
21. This British actor – who died this past January at the age of 82 – is one of a handful of people to have appeared in both the Dr. Who and Star Trek franchises.
22. “You know Mr. Gorbachev, the guy that ran Russia for so long? I am a firm believer that he would still be in power today if he had had that ugly purple thing taken off his head.”
28. “Wait a minute! Wait. I'm having a thought. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. I'm gonna have a thought. It's coming... It's gone.”
32. “God does not play dice with the universe, but I will”
49. His career as a stand-up comic got a boost when Anne Murray saw him on the Tonight show and hired him as her opening act.
51. He was the most recent British actor to receive a knighthood.
52. “A plague on you. A plague on the whole stinking lot of ya, without morals or laws. And all you whores got no laws. You got no honor. It's no wonder you all emigrated to America, because they wouldn't have you in England. You're a lot of savages, that's what you all are. A bunch of bloody savages. A plague on you. I'll be back.”
58. “I am Carrot Top: confident, clever, capable of running his life and yours, and everybody else's. And I'm Golo the Giant: cowardly, stupid, longing to be loved, clumsy and in need of comforting. And I'm Marguerite too: vain, jealous, obsessed with self, looking at my face in the mirror - are my teeth nice? Is my hair growing thin? And I'm Reynaldo: the thief, the opportunist, full of compromise and lies like any other man. I have in me all these things.”
60. “According to the map, we've only gone four inches.”
72. “You know, I don't want to spoil the party, but does anyone notice that we're stuck in the middle of the ocean on this couch? Do you know what kind of sunburn I'm going to get? None, 'cause I'm covered in latex, but you guys are going to get seriously fried. I mean it's not like a – like a big gigantic ship is just going to come out of nowhere and save us, by gosh.”
74. “This crop stuff is just about a bunch of nerds who never had a girlfriend their whole lives. They're like thirty now. They make up secret codes and analyze Greek mythology and make secret societies where other guys who never had girlfriends can join in. They do stupid crap like this to feel special. It's a scam. Nerds were doin' it twenty five years ago and new nerds are doing it again.”
77. He set an Oscar record in 1978 which was tied in 1983 and surpassed in 2007 by a former co-star.
15. Cartoonist Milton Caniff claimed that he modeled the Dragon Lady after this actress.
JOAN CRAWFORD? GAIL SONDERGAARD?
17. In 2006, he officially announced that he no longer wanted to be known by the name that had brought him fame in his pre-film career, and that he now considered himself an actor exclusively.
DWAYNE JOHNSON? MARK WAHLBERG?
31. She broke down in tears when Nelson Mandela hugged her and congratulated her for her Oscar win.
CHARLIZE THERON? LUPITA NYONGO?
38. “You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me.”

Upon further reflection, I believe 17. must be Marky Mark, because Dwayne Johnson has made guest appearances since then as a wrestler under his stage name. Plus he played TheRock Obama on SNL this season.

A couple more ....
58. “I am Carrot Top: confident, clever, capable of running his life and yours, and everybody else's. And I'm Golo the Giant: cowardly, stupid, longing to be loved, clumsy and in need of comforting.

I am pretty sure this is JOAQUIN PHOENIX in Signs.

If that's true, then my information is bad. I think Marky Mark gave up that name a long time earlier than that anyway. So I'll confirm I'm looking for Dwayne Johnson.mrkelley23 wrote:Upon further reflection, I believe 17. must be Marky Mark, because Dwayne Johnson has made guest appearances since then as a wrestler under his stage name.

Re: Game #151: Hollywood Menage a Trois
I think 77. Is RICHARD BURTON. If I'm right, the record is for most nominations without a win. Peter O'Toole would then be the one who surpassed him in 2007.

Re: Game #151: Hollywood Menage a Trois
The title seems to hint at me about a menagerie. I'm seeing a lot of animal movies associated with these people. Groucho in Duck Soup and Horse Feathers, Keisha Castle-Hughes in The Whale Rider, Christoph Waltz in The Green Hornet and Water for Elephants, Acquanetta in Tarzan and the Leopard Woman. Maybe we're stringing together three actors in film titles that contain the same animal.franktangredi wrote:You have no idea how close you have gotten to the information that will unlock the Tangredi.

Tom Conway was The Falcon. Bogart was in the Maltese Falcon.
Scarlett Johannson was in The Horse Whisperer.
Bette Davis was in The Whales of August.
Valentino was in The Eagle, Richard Burton in Where Eagles Dare.
So I think this might be a Menagerie a Trois

Re: Game #151: Hollywood Menage a Trois
Now that the Bored is back up, I'm able to go through the actors and fill in more of the animal-titled films off the top of my head, along the ones that Melly just dropped in.
Jennifer Hudson was also in a movie called Black Nativity. Keisha Castle-Hughes was also in a movie called The Nativity Story. A nativity scene--at least the one created by St. Francis of Assisi--is sometimes called a menagerie. Makes me wonder if "Nativity" is the variable that Frank is looking for.

While the site was down today, I confirmed that Dennis O'Keefe starred in a 40's movie called The Leopard Man.
Timothy Hutton was in The Falcon and the Snowman.
Daryl Hannah was in Clan of the Cave Bear.
Dolph Lundgren was Red Scorpion.
Hayley Mills was in Tiger Bay.
I'd guess 15 is Gale Sondergaard, since her best known role was The Spider Woman.

Forgot about Tiger Bay. Thanks - I kept thinking of That Darn Cat and "cat" is so very generic.
