Kung fu movies were also sampled on, for ten points, what 1993 debut album for the Wu-Tang Clan? Answer: Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers 12. He has claimed that playing a homosexual in the 1982 film Making Love blunted his movie career.

For ten points, name this actor who made his mark in the ’80s as Perseus and Michael Kuzak in, respectively, Clash of the Titans and L.A. Law. Answer: Harry Hamlin 13. Among the many games he had roles in were a bizarre Japan-only game called Trio The Punch. He was also the end boss in the Neo-Geo game Fighter’s History and the level one boss in Bad Dudes. He was shown in a much more positive light in his own game, in which he searched for a wizard – or in the NES version, the dragon Ryu – in order to retrieve the stolen Treasure of Babylon. For ten points, name this bald Russian fire-breathing circus strongman and unofficial mascot of the game publisher Data East. Answer: Karnov 14. One of his highlights while with L.A. was playing in a Dodger Stadium mariachi band. Known as a prankster, he once wore his uniform upside down in the dugout. He spent time with the Phillies, who got him with Lenny Dykstra for Juan Samuel. Named in 2005 as Leo Mazzone’s replacement as Braves pitching coach, he, and not Keith Hernandez, was revealed as the true spitter in an episode of Seinfeld. For ten points, name this pitcher who once shared the Mets closer role with Randy Myers and Jesse Orosco. Answer: Roger Alan McDowell 15. As Billboard magazine noted on its release, “the ’No Synthesizers’ legend in the credits is a welcome addition these days.” At the time, it was thought to be the most expensive album ever made, and featured a fake 180-voice chorus manually stacked from three band members’ voices on operatic songs like “The Prophet’s Song.” Guitarist Brian May took his first turn as lead vocalist on the song “’39,” while a song written by John Deacon for his wife, “You’re My Best Friend,” was one of two successful singles. It was the first album certified gold in the U.S. for Queen. Named for a Marx Brothers film, this is, for ten points, what album that features “Bohemian Rhapsody”? Answer: A Night at the Opera 16. The third person to take on this identity was Dr. Bart Hamilton, while the fourth was Phil Urich, who acted as a superhero until his equipment was damaged during Onslaught. The most recent person to take on this mantle was Gabriel, one of a set of rapidly-aged twins who were revealed to be the children of Gwen Stacy and the original, who used a glider and pumpkin bombs to commit crimes. Norman Osborn was the first to act as, for ten points, what comic book villain who made the jump to the silver screen in the first Spider-Man movie? Answer: the Green Goblin 2 2006 TRASH Regionals Round 17 Tossups 17. It was the final film for Dick Tracy child actor Charlie Korsmo.

  • Clinton Greyn (1933-2019)
    CLINTON GREYN (1933-2019) The great legacy of CLINTON GREYN (1933-2019) is as one of the 1960s' British adventure series' unsung heroes. His Captain Robert Virgin in ATV's Virgin of the Secret Service (1968) stands as one of the classic English gentleman swashbucklers of the decade, alongside Gerald Harper's Adam Adamant and Patrick Macnee's John Steed in The Avengers. Created by Ted Willis, Virgin of the Secret Service (thankfully available on DVD since 2013) was an entertaining, tongue-in-cheek, Boys' Own-style saga of derring-do and stiff upper-lip, in which Captain Virgin, aided by the glamorous Mrs. Cortez (Veronica Strong) and his loyal batman Doublett (John Cater) defended far-flung corners of the British Empire from its foes, most frequently the scheming Teutonic villain Karl Von Brauner (Alexander Doré). Imperial in theme, sardonic in tone, the jury's still out on whether Virgin of the Secret Service was short-lived because by 1968 it was too old-fashioned or, instead, because it was ahead of its time. But the fact that it was filmed in grainy black-and-white wouldn't have helped. Clinton Greyn also guest-starred in other adventure series of the era, such as The Champions and Department S, and he lent distinguished support to several prestigious films of the 1960s: Otto Preminger's Exodus (1960) starring Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint; Ralph Thomas's The High Bright Sun (1964), with Dirk Bogarde, George Chakiris and Susan Strasberg; Peter Yates's Robbery (1967), starring Stanley Baker; the Shirley MacLaine vehicle Woman Times Seven (1967), directed by Vittorio De Sica; and Herbert Ross's good-looking but ill-advised musical adaptation of Goodbye, Mr.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Once Is Not Enough Free
    FREE ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH PDF Jacqueline Susann | 384 pages | 01 Jan 1998 | Grove Press / Atlantic Monthly Press | 9780802135452 | English | New York, United States Once Is Not Enough (film) - Wikipedia As IMDb celebrates its 30th Once is Not Enough, we have six shows to get you ready for those pivotal years of your life Get some streaming picks. Title: Once Is Not Enough January Wayne, the sheltered, much-loved daughter of a formerly successful Hollywood producer, goes home to New York after a lengthy stint in a Swiss hospital. Mike Wayne has fallen on hard times and decides to marry for money. January is an innocent young woman who searches for her place in the world. Pursued by her rich new stepmother's playboy of a cousin, she instead falls hard for a much older man, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer who's a surrogate for her father, before tragedy strikes. Jacqueline Susann's glamorous, emotional, highly personal novels always lost something in their translation to the screen. Once Is Not Enough is another prime example. But it doesn't have the unintended hilarity of Valley of the Dolls, nor the compelling sleaziness of The Love Machine. The most outrageous and memorable elements of the book Once is Not Enough excised completely, and the result is two hours of sudsy romantic nothingness. Without the pills, vitamin shots, wild sex including an acid-fueled orgyand disturbing violence that infused the compelling novel, the story is as flat as week-old ginger ale. It's a slick production with an all-star cast, including the engaging Deborah Raffin as January, but the material is awful.

  • Judith Krantz, Whose Tales of Sex and Shopping Sold Millions, Dies at 91
    Judith Krantz, Whose Tales of Sex and Shopping Sold Millions, Dies at 91 By Margalit Fox June 23, 2019 Judith Krantz, who almost single-handedly turned the sex-and-shopping genre of fiction into the stuff of high commerce, making her one of the world’s best-selling novelists if not one of the most critically acclaimed, died on Saturday at her home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles. She was 91. Her publicist, John Tellem, confirmed the death. Though she did not publish her first book until she was 50, Ms. Krantz reigned for decades afterward as the international queen of poolside reading. Her 10 novels — beginning with “Scruples” in 1978 and ending with “The Jewels of Tessa Kent” in 1998 — have together sold more than 85 million copies in more than 50 languages. Most became television movies or mini-series, many of which were produced by Ms. Krantz’s husband, Steve Krantz. What drove Ms. Krantz’s books to the tops of best seller lists time and again was a formula that she honed to glittering perfection: fevered horizontal activities combined with fevered vertical ones — the former taking place in sumptuously appointed bedrooms and five-star hotels, the latter anywhere with a cash register and astronomical price tags. A hallmark of the formula was that it embraced sex and shopping in almost equal measure, with each recounted in modifier-laden detail. “Recklessly she flung herself out of her clouds of chiffon plumage only to appear in her resplendent flesh, lying totally naked on a pile of horse blankets, laughing softly as she watched Stash Valensky, momentarily bewildered and taken by surprise, struggle out of his dinner jacket,” Ms.
