And I believed him when he said it, which is why I felt so betrayed when it turned out he actually could make it up.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize this was the obvious thread. Darn, I just realized I did post an obvious pic Edited by: slaytonf on Feb 24, 2013 7:18 PM

The pitch is low and outside. Ripken swings anyway. A sizziling grounder to Morgan's off side. He goes horizontal and snags it with three fingers!! There is pandemonium in the stadium!!

Doesn't seem to. Here's a link to IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053935/?ref_=sr_1 And Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Cold_in_Alex

Not neither of them. She's european.

I don't know anything about recording to DVRs on TimeWarner cable. I do not have one. I hope to never get one. As I posted, it turned out the newer cable box prevented me from recording from movie channels to my DVD player. When I had the older model of the box installed, I could record once again.

Ok, enough of the obscure ones, time for a gimmie:

One of my favorites for cleverness and integration with the film are the credits for I Know Where I'm Going! They appear on elements of the scenes showing Joan growing up.

What calvinnme posted about forcing people to stay awake at ungodly hours to watch a movie made me think of a reason newer cable boxes have a disabling code. It's not really to keep people from recording movies, but to force them to get DVRs, for which cable companies can soak--I mean charge their customers for more money. I have a DVD recorder for just that reason. I can record what I want, especially whan I am away, or asleep, and I don't have to pay that extra ten or so dollars a month.

It was my clever clue that gave him away. Not clever enough. Cheers for Dobbs!

Didn't look like her to me. But that's her! A laurel for the man!

This won't cost me anything to post:

Messieu, you are too, too courtoise:

Hm. Too obvious. Yes, you got 'im! Mr. Anderson! Kidd, you may now proceed.

I don't see anything in your post. Does that mean you've drawn a blank? You might indicate something like: "This post intentionally left blank."

What I would like to see, I think, is a top 100 list of the top 100 movie lists. After all, some lists are better than others, and people's opinions will differ, and you could poll movie critics to see what are the best top 100 lists. That would be a meta meta analysis, which would be much better than a mere meta analysis. And not simply twice as good, but meta squared.

The tech spoke with an air of authority, so naturally that makes what he said reliable. All I know is I have the model of the cable box I had before last Sunday, and I can record like I did before. The only thing different, as far as I know, is the box.

I was mistaken, this is the obvious thread:

The story goes like this: Last Sunday I had TimeWarner come out to fix a problem I had with channels freezing up and a sluggish TV channel guide. He replaced my cable box with a newer model, and, BINGO!, I couldn't record from any of the movie channels I have (TCM, Showtime, TMC--I get the last two free as part of a package). After several days of getting different stories about why this was so, I asked TimeWarner to give me back my old box, the same model, that is. Just a few minutes ago, the older box was installed, and, BINGO!!!, I can record all over again! The tech who came out said the newer cable boxes have a code put in them by TimeWarner that blocks recording from movie channels, and some on demand selections. Those others who have said they have recording blocked may want to investigate getting older cable boxes. They don't deal with the supplementary data so well as the newer boxes, but they may not have the codes that block recording off them.

You Jumped right! Barbara Steele it is!

It's neither Carolynn Jones or Cassandra Peterson, but I think some people know who this is.

There's something dark about this lady:

Sylvia it is!
