Hint added Hint added Hint added New game posted #1070 A great film indeed! Is it too late to start a new game? 12 Angry Men (1957) The Killing (1956) -- Sorry, I deleted a previous guess that wasn't set in the USA Suddenly (1954) The Threat (1949) V...Voltron in Voltron (1983–85), Voltron: The Third Dimension (1998) Voltron Force (2011), Voltron: Legendary Defender (2016) N...Nemo - Finding Nemo There already is a Dirty Politics board here. The flame wars burned it to the ground. Anything good in it was looted and posted elsewhere. Read books by Robert McKee on screenplays. He has run a three-day seminar for decades: Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting (1997) Dialogue: the Art of Verbal Action for Stage, Page and Screen (2016) Storynomics: Story-Driven Marketing in the Post-Advertising World (2018) I've read the first book and it's excellent. That book and McKee's seminar were hilariously featured in the R-rated <i>Adaptation.</i> (2002), written by Charlie Kaufman and his fictional twin brother, Donald. The film is about a lovelorn screenwriter who becomes desperate, as he tries and fails to adapt 'The Orchid Thief' by Susan Orlean for the screen. Flip the jar upside down, so the oil sitting on top sifts down to the bottom. Let it sit for a few days. Peanut butter is good bait to catch mice in a mouse trap. Unless you do this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk1ue1tolFc <b>"I Heard It Through the Grapevine"</b> First recorded by <i>The Miracles</i> (Smokey Robinson) August 16, 1966, but not released until 1968. Sorry, not first release. First released by <b>Gladys Knight & the Pips</b> and released as a single in September 1967; it went to number two in the Billboard chart. At the time, it was the biggest hit in the history of Motown Records. This is more upbeat than the Marvin Gaye version. It's more of a dance version. Gladys Knight, now 76, had a popular new tour after recently finishing #3 in the first TV season of The Masked Singer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqmS961An4c The <b>Marvin Gaye</b> version was on his 1968 album <i>In the Groove</i>, where it gained the attention of radio disc jockeys. Motown founder Berry Gordy released as a single in October 1968, when it went to the top of the Billboard Pop Singles chart for seven weeks from December 1968 to January 1969 and became at the time the biggest Motown hit single. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hajBdDM2qdg <i>Creedence Clearwater Revival</i> made an 11-minute interpretation for their 1970 album, Cosmo's Factory. The lyrics tell the story of the singer's feelings of betrayal and disbelief when hearing of their significant other's infidelity, only indirectly "through the 'grapevine'". The phrase is associated with black slaves during the USA's Civil War, who had their form of telegraph: the human grapevine. The husband from the basement comes out and murders Ki-jung, Kim's daughter. The police would want to know who he was and where he came from. "Where did he live?" Why would his wife not tell them about the basement then? She and Kim's wife were the only ones, at that point, who could do that. Nobody but Kim knew (at that point) that he'd gone to the basement to hide.
