  1. That was his brother, Geoffrey. They looked somewhat similar. Movie was Chisum.
  2. I'd just like them to do the Thing right, for once. Although, even in the comics, they wrote around themselves to make Reed Richards the lead when the Thing was a hellalot more interesting. Silver Surfer was pretty cool as the herald of Galactus. When. he got his own comic, be became kind of a wandering flower child, and IMHO, less interesting.
  3. It was "Smith," which in the show was the alias for Hannibal Hayes, played by Peter Duel, which was the screen name for Peter Deuel. Headshot with a .38. https://findadeath.com/directory/d/Pete_Duel/index.html
  4. As I hung up the phone it occurred to me My boy was just like me, my boy was just like me.
  5. I love that guy. He might have become more popular, except he didn't fit neatly into any category. BTW, don't know who the backup guitarist is in this clip, but she's kinda hot.
  6. Everybody was in love with her. The guy with her when she died was the same guy that was with Art Linkletter's daughter when she died, also under mysterious circumstances.
  7. Carol Burnett had great dancers, who did several numbers every week. The dancers union worked out a deal that gave them rehearsal fees every time they were used in reruns, which is why they cut them out of the repackaged versions that were sold for reruns. It also marked the end (for the most part) of variety shows that did big dance numbers. I don't remember what they were called, but on the old Jackie Gleason show, they had the June Taylor Dancers.
  8. Happy Days was actually a spin off of American Graffiti, they just never admitted it. Lucas made American Graffiti, they got Ron Howard and some people to roughly approximate the other characters, did an episode of "Love, American Style," then ripped off American Graffiti. I've always suspected it was probably so they wouldn't have to pay Lucas royalties, but if you look at the first year, roller skating waitresses, cars hitting the strip, Winkler playing the John Milner character, yeah, it was American Graffiti. BTW, Carol Wayne ended up dead in Mexico, supposedly by drowning. She was probably murdered. Very suspicious circumstances.
  9. Had the same car blue '67. Dittos for loving it, but the Volkswagen Beetle tried to murder people like it was Christine. After about two years, the heat exchanger would develop holes and pump pure carbon monoxide into the passenger compartment. Fuel line ran directly over the air cooled engine and would rot from heat and drip gasoline onto the block, causing a fire, if you didn't change that. Hood latches on the front trunk never worked, and the only thing between you and the other car in a collision was the gas tank. Ever been in one of those on the highway when an eighteen wheeler passed going the other direction? Grip the seat with your butt cheeks and get a death grip on the steering wheel, cause you were shifting about eighteen inches to the side. And we loved that car that tried to murder us. Probably explains some of my early dating relationships.
  10. Remember the warm up band? They kept getting pissed cause everyone was ignoring them waiting for Linda. When they closed, the lead singer said, "We'd like to thank y'all for being such assholes." Ronstadt was the real deal. No lip syncing at her concerts, damn good back up musicians (I think they were her studio musicians,) and she could belt them out where they sounded as good live as they did on the albums. She also showed up sober and ready to give a full performance. Armadillo concerts were notorious for starting hours late (supposedly start at 9 P and band comes out after midnight) and for the band to be too wasted to perform. Worst one was Maria Muldaur. Came out after midnight, did four songs and left, and I think she lip synced. A lot of the bands from that era saw their careers crash when they went on the road, cause the same studio musicians did backup for all of them and they just pretended to play instruments. The studios played with the vocals to smooth out the voices, and when they got out on the road without all the studio cleanup, they couldn't replicate what came out of the studio.
  11. Confession. I was skeptical of the story because previously they just said they had surveillance video. If they stopped him, checked his driver's license and got the plates, it's pretty conclusive. I also had trouble believing he could be that stupid. Then I remembered: Hugh Grant went for this: When he was dating this: There are some things I'll never understand.
  12. Troof. That show is the patron saint of "TV series that did not age well," which could be it's own thread.
  13. Didn't watch. Did they do anything to honor Stan Lee? His characters have been responsible for about 50% of all movie profits over the last ten years.
  14. 182 men laid down their lives when they could have run. They faced an absurdly greater number of men on the other side, and fought until they were all massacred. It meets my standard as a great example of heroic fortitude.
  15. Deserving's got nothing to do with it.
  16. Off season sucks.
  17. Yeah, time changes things. The Armadillo concert was 74. This youtube video is 76, so about the same era. She sang this song, and made eye contact with me when she sang the line, "if you want me to beg, I'll fall down on my knees." Thought I was gonna die. She was wearing jeans, not the miniskirt, though.
  18. I'm gonna make y'all jealous. Got to see her live at Armadillo World Headquarters. It was right after Don't Cry Now came out and before Heart Like a Wheel, so she wasn't a superstar yet. There was a big crowd, but not the crazy crowds she drew later. Got there early and parked at the front of the stage about five feet from her microphone stand. She was every bit as beautiful as she was in the photos.
  19. Lots of injuries. Bet some of these guys got called in to play from the couch or the loading dock.
  20. I think mine's delayed, too. That tip drill play would have resulted in a five minute delay for review in the NFL.
  21. These games are fun. Play quality is not horrible, the announcers understand that the game is the show, and there aren't a bunch of game stoppages. Also like them requiring 2 pt conversion.
  22. Girl Scout cookies aren't that good.
  23. They're saying he got a rub and tug, but a few things bother me on the story, the biggest being they make some statements, blow it into an international sex trafficking ring, and Kraft apparently was in Massachusetts when all this stuff in Florida went down. They didn't catch him on the table with his pants down like Moe Green. All I'm saying is this story is too much like the last fifty "big stories" that have come out. Outrageous story followed by three minutes of hate, followed by revelation of things that mean the original story was wildly inaccurate, followed by press burying the story to move on to the next outrageous thing. There are more actual facts revealed in an episode of Supernatural than in a modern media story.
