\*\*CG-3: Everything I needed to know about capturing Germans, I learned from Peter Berg and Gary Sinise.[\b] This one is a holdover from the last thread. I’ll add **Kevin Dillon** to the cast and see if anyone can come up with it. CG-1 (for this thread): Everything I needed to know about jazz musicians, I learned from Chet Baker. ---

**TeaElle** is correct on HF\_1 and HF\_5, but no on HF\_4. I’ll redo the clue for HF\_4, but I just loved the way he delivered his “finger-lickin’ good” line in the movie. HF\_4: “Everything I needed to know about preferring my victims clean shaven, I learned from Bill Paxton.” Here’s a different clue for a movie that was never guessed previously: HF\_6: “Everything I needed to know about adopting a gay teenager, I learned from Harvey Fierstein.” HF\_7: “Everything I needed to know about the 13th apostle, I learned from Chris Rock.” ---

What was the other clue?) > [@](#): > > Originally posted by bibliophile\* > LSD1: All I know about shotgunning beers I learned from Ethan Hawke > Reality Bites I’ll accept that.

You know, I forgot about that funky reel-to-reel answering machine Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) had in _Kiss Me Deadly_, so we can scratch another unnumbered **lissener** clue off the list. ---

Not googling. Truth to tell, I didn’t notice Meeker in there, I was too busy thinking about Cloris Leachman in that trench coat. Then, after **Ilsa** gave you direction on how to list your clues, I went back and reread them. That’s when I realized you’d pulled two from _Kiss Me Deadly_. ---
