  1. I did remember the movie then. I was confused because I could not find the right movie. I also mixed it up with the Kurt Russell movie (The Best of Times). The title is Necessary Roughness. I thought it had the “Un” too.
  2. Is this the one with Scott Bakula?
  3. It took me until the end of the episode when they were watching the show to make the connection to CBBC’s Horrible Histories “Stupid Deaths”.
  4. Ryan O’Neal/Barbra Streisand in the 1972 movie What’s Up, Doc? Howard declares his love for Judy and apologizes for what he said earlier. Judy: "Love means never having to say you're sorry" (bats eyelashes) Howard: "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard." They kiss. And Carol Burnett’s movie spoofs where some of the best things ever shown!
  5. I’m guessing it was the shock of seeing his injuries plus Chim talking to him that sobered him up enough for the rational part of his brain to kick in so he reflexively hit the brake. or The writers heard the song, wanted to include it, said hey let’s put Buck in a bicycle chase and “hand wave” logic. With a Chimney in peril bonus!
  6. Thank you. It was not clear to me. It seems an odd choice for the next episode teaser. Looks like I missed a good rescue by fast forwarding through the scene. I was not going to take any chances though.
  7. Let’s hope they’ll wait until next season. I was disappointed that it was not a longer part of the episode. I really could have done without that gol course rescue. So glad I tape these so I can fast forward! I was kinda expecting that there would be a rescue on the cruise but now I think they are not going at all. I thought it was odd that the preview for next week did not reference the accident with Athena’s parents.
  8. I grew up in the Midwest too. I feel like I used “pop” and “soda” interchangeably then, but only ‘soda’ now. I moved to the Southwest in my teens and I never got used to hearing the occasional “coke” used for any sugary carbonated drink. I think most of us were transplants so “soda” was the go to word. I love this (and that movie)! How fun for you that you get to use this. Does anyone recognize the quote?
  9. There is a stunning purple gown she wears in the new clothes montage but I unfortunately can not find a photo of it.
  10. What seems to escape them is the part where Wentworth appears to be waiting for, hoping for Anne to come after him. It can not be a coincidence that he just happens to be there when Anne and Charles walk out to the street.
  11. It’s all yours! Just let us know when you make your heroic debut on a grammar themed PBS show like The Electric Company back the day. 😀
  12. So YOU are the Apostrophe Avenger! (do you wear a cape or follow Edna Mode style?)
  13. “grammatically motivated sabotage” Very interesting…🤔 I think a story would help me better understand the concept.
  14. For me, chili is the dish my mom made with chili powder, chile is the pepper that can be used for food or decoration. When smells of chiles being roasted fill in the air, fall has arrived! Start looking for your Christmas ristras! (Not to be confused with the “Christmas” option in which you can get both red and green chile on your burrito or enchilada.) The Spruce Eats has much of the same info including this note Chile with an "e" at the end is the most common Spanish spelling in Mexico and other Latin American countries. and the Spanish influenced southwestern states of US, as mentioned elsewhere in the article. So it would stand to reason that you should look for chile in Chile. From the culinary side, I found this bit interesting, could make the difference in a recipe. Generally, if a container says "chili powder," you're buying ground, dried chile peppers mixed with other spices. "Chile powder," on the other hand, should be nothing but dried chile peppers. I’m sure you also ran across the other meaning for Chile/chile as a slang for the word child. Just to add the confusion.
  15. Is it the capitalization of chile that bothers you? The spelling is correct. Hatch Green Chile - green or red!
  16. That sounds a lot like the movie Toothless (1997) with Kirstie Alley. It also stars the kid from Sleepless in Seattle. — A dentist is cast into limbo after her death in a bike accident and is given the assignment to act as The Tooth Fairy as her action to be admitted into heaven. — The key issue is that she lacks compassion, which is part of the joke of her chosen profession. I think I caught the end of it while waiting for something else to come on. It was a Disney movie, not sure if ever was the theaters.
  17. This honestly stunned me when we moved from north Tornado Alley (Midwest) to the southern end or Texas. How could they not have basements?! Now I know why!

    Clue (1985)

    All punctuated brilliantly by Mr. Green’s expressions behind the cop.
  19. That sounds like Rita Hayworth... I agree that it was Rita Hayworth, I don’t recall Ava having red hair in any of her movies. Good for Ava not caving to the pressure. Can you imagine tptb asking Cary Grant or Kirk Douglas to “fix” their chin dimple?
  20. With the great Mary Wickes as a nun in both sets of movies!
  21. So true! I recently caught the last half hour. I don’t think I would have made it through the entire movie. I let out an exasperated yelp during the “my hands are empty” scene. My DH came to check on me then had to listen to my rant about it. Can someone explain to me why it was decided not to have John lose an arm in the war?
  22. I remember the outfit from the movie but did not know it was a jumpsuit until I was looking for wedding dresses. I love her hair too. All of the clothes for Tracy (Diana Rigg) are really fun and sexy. Another view showing off the legs and the shoes
  23. Two more! Another classic dress from the 30s in Frankenstein (the length on that veil!) And a very modern jumpsuit from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)
  24. Marilyn and Jane Lauren Bacall - How to Marry a Millionaire Two from Austen adaptations
