I guess enough new people have joined the forum since the last time he asked this that someone is bound to fall for it, full of wild-eyed enthusiasm for "helping this hammer guy out".
That's what you said when it came up in 2017 and 2015. We'll look forward to 2021 now.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 7:29 pm French Authors? Yeah, I'm screwed here. Correct response doesn't ring any bells for me.

The few that are actual hits are much further down the board, and the next-most recent is from 2009. Things can be popular and award-winning in their heyday yet fade from consciousness in the intervening years.
"Glory" will probably be a lot harder to get a bead on because of the commonness of the word.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 8:47 pmTry searching for Ron Kovic:TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 8:07 pm Half the archive hits I get by doing "born on the fourth of july" site:j-archive.com are false positives (i.e., category names, clues saying that a famous person was born on the Fourth of July, etc.).

That gets 16 good hits and only one false positive. (The false positive has "john malKOVICh" in the clue and "the man in the iRON mask" in the response. Really, archive?)
I remember teachers loved to show Glory in the classroom. Pepsi made an edited version for classroom use (of course, with the Pepsi logo prominently displayed during the introduction) that removed a scene where somebody gets their head blown off.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 10:14 pm"Glory" will probably be a lot harder to get a bead on because of the commonness of the word.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 8:47 pmTry searching for Ron Kovic:TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 8:07 pm Half the archive hits I get by doing "born on the fourth of july" site:j-archive.com are false positives (i.e., category names, clues saying that a famous person was born on the Fourth of July, etc.).

For some reason I don't even remember us covering much war stuff in HS history. I know we watched part of "Saving Private Ryan", but all I remember is my teacher frantically hitting mute every time someone swore, and then giving up on the movie because she couldn't keep up.
i don't remember much of what was taught in high school...rarely went due to skipping, suspended and 2 times expelled....public school in usa blowsTenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 8:01 pmFor some reason I don't even remember us covering much war stuff in HS history.

As opposed to...?
A song by Roy Orbison to which the title of the film clearly alludes and which appears in the soundtrack of the film?
And I know the Roy Orbison song, and the existence of the word "Oh" in its title. I didn't know that the "Oh"-less title was in use for ANYthing.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 2:31 amA song by Roy Orbison to which the title of the film clearly alludes and which appears in the soundtrack of the film?
And the answer of course is, yes. The song by Roy Orbison is "Oh, Pretty Woman" so there's no possible way to confuse the two titles.
I never ever thought I'd say this in this day and age, but some people need to consume more entertainment media.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 9:26 amAnd I know the Roy Orbison song, and the existence of the word "Oh" in its title.

Now you know "This Julia Roberts film..." for $200 is probably "Pretty Woman." You may not like it or agree with it, but association is how you make the big bucks.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 9:26 amAnd I know the Roy Orbison song, and the existence of the word "Oh" in its title.

that is her pavlovian movieTenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 10:26 pmBecause that's the only film she's ever been in , right?
Look. I was tempted, then I saw the first posts were from 2014 and decided against it.heppm01 wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 10:16 amI guess enough new people have joined the forum since the last time he asked this that someone is bound to fall for it, full of wild-eyed enthusiasm for "helping this hammer guy out".
Welcome to the forum, new guy. Someone will be by in five pages to sweep up your desiccated husk.
If you have no guess, Pretty Woman is better than that.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 10:26 pmBecause that's the only film she's ever been in , right?
Well, assuming you have to guess--i.e. it's a DD or FJ. Otherwise, clamming is a good option. But if forced to guess, even Mystic Pizza is better than NO guess. SECONDHAND LIONS (because you got her mixed up with Kyra Sedgwick) is better than no guess. But, yeah. For a $200 clue, unless something in the clue leads away from it, Pretty Woman is pretty much the best response for a Julia Roberts film.1stlvlthinker wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2019 12:32 amIf you have no guess, Pretty Woman is better than that.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 10:26 pmBecause that's the only film she's ever been in , right?
The category was founders of religion. You got nothin' out of the successors having Arabic names, or the prompt of the 7th Century?TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 9:39 pm "His death in 632 AD led to a disupte over whether Abu Bakr or Ali was his true successor."
I got nothin'.
I know that Muhammad has something to do with Islam, but exactly what, I didn't know. Also had no idea what nationality names like "Abu Bakr" could be from, or when Islam was started.Wheatley wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 2:31 amThe category was founders of religion.
