I hate physics.
You're thinking of centrifical force, which applies to circular motion ... maybe when you were a kid you swung a bucket filled with water in a circular motion over your head and the water stayed in the bucket. This force acts opposite gravity, so it pushes things away from the earth. I believe this is what keeps objects, like satellites, in orbit around the earth .. but it takes quite a bit of velocity to escape the earth's gravity in the first place. That's why I am wondering about people flying off the planet.
Can't you just ask me a simple calculus question instead? Or ask me to explain why the Scarecrow's statement is all wrong in the WIZARD OF OZ?

Can someone tell me how to give some assistance to Rhonda Fleming?

The writing is even worse. I have to grade papers (keep in mind, these are university students to whom I am referring), and I get stuff like "your" when they mean "you're," "Im" which doesn't exist of course, "thru" for "through," and "b/c" for "because." Much of this can be blamed on instant and text messaging. I won't even get into some of the e-mails I have to decipher. Ugh.

From the novel:
"You see when Mr. Fotheringay had arrested the rotation of the solid globe, he had made no stipulation concerning the trifling movables upon its surface. And the earth spins so fast that the surface at its equator is travelling at rather more than a thousand miles an hour, and in these latitudes at more than half that pace. So that the village, and Mr. Maydig, and Mr. Fotheringay, and everybody and everything had been jerked violently forward at about nine miles per second [should be: minute]--that is to say, much more violently than if they had been fired out of a cannon. And every human being, every living creature, every house, and every tree--all the world as we know it--had been so jerked and smashed and utterly destroyed. That was all."
So they were smashed but didn't go flying off. I will have to check with my colleagues in the Physics department about this.

Amazon has it.

Um .. yes, that's what I meant, of course

That "Guadalcanal Diary" poster is a riot .. with the bare chested American about to body slam the enemy soldier.

Clue 1: T- 100 Greatest - 21908600 - #79
-
I agree about Cobb. He did a superb job, simmering and then finally imploding. He had the juiciest part in the movie and ran with it. Overall, the cast was one of the best ever assembled.
-
Yup, that's what I came up with.
-
Hey, CM, this is a family board. I can't tell you what supposedly happened in that scene.

#3 Psychiatrist made me think of Lee J. Cobb in THE THREE FACES OF EVE, but I couldn't get anywhere with that and the other clues, until #5 Sponsor to an alcoholic and small screen slob, which made me think of Jack Klugman (from DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES and TV's Odd Couple). Since I have seen 12 Angry Men multiple times, and just recorded it the other night, I made the connection. Then I realized you were giving us the juror numbers for the clues. Hence, juror #8 was Henry Fonda, who played Wyatt Earp in MY DARLING CLEMENTINE. That was enough to clinch it. I hadn't made the movie connections for juror # 11 (George Voskovec) and juror #10 (Ed Begley).
Now I need to think about another movie. If someone else wants to jump in while I put one together, by all means, do so.

Got it! 12 ANGRY MEN. Very clever!

I guess next time I'll just cut and paste the article and not bother with the link ... oh, wait ...

A GUNFIGHT (1971). From what little I remember, a pretty good little movie.

Geez, these clues are beauts.
How about ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER

*Now SCSU, would you would risk getting tangled up with Rhonda Fleming?? Didn't you see that she scratches??*
Yeah, well, I'm used to that
