SUCH a good movie. Donald O’Connor. ---

_Singin’ in the Rain_ If I weren’t already married, I’d go with Henry Rollins. 😉 ---

Okay, this is getting a little freaky now. I swear that **Maureen** answer preceded **CBawlmer** ’s answer just a little while ago (and I was trying like mad to correct it and post Cyd Charisse… dang!) Besides being Princess Leia’s mum, wasn’t she also _The Flying Nun_? (Now there’s a tough habit to break) ---

Oh, this is just too screwy for words. Donald O’Connor. **Singin In the Rain** Debbie Reynolds. Debbie Reynolds is in play. ---

Okay, I get it now. **Maureen** has posted in the future. I just hope that she had the prescience to answer correctly whatever question will be asked. ---

Donald O’Connor is always an acceptable answer to any question. I would guess the new uber hamsters are being tweaked. Thus ensuring I always have the last word. And before it only ever happened at home. 😛 I don’t think the Flying Nun was ever actually a movie…Are you thinking of **The Trouble With Angels**? But, she wasn’t in that either… ---

I noticed that in more than one thread. Didn’t they do a server upgrade this afternoon? I think something weird happened as a result. ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Okay, I get it now. **Maureen** has posted in the future. I just hope that she had the prescience to answer correctly whatever question will be asked. Somebody will have to put in something really bad (e.g. Superfuzz) just before 6:18 so **Maureen** will have declared it “SUCH a good movie”.😉 Then we can go on to say how Donald O’Connor wasn’t in that movie and had already been used anyway. ---

But, she wasn’t in that either… :smack: _The Singing Nun_ _The Flying Nun_ was also known as _Gidget Joins a Convent_. I swear it was the hampsters. ---

😃😃😃 You heard it here first, kids. Maureen declares \*Gidget Joins a Convent \* “SUCH a good movie”. ---

Haha. It never dies. Although this board weirdness is hard to unravel, I think **Ricardo Montalban** , whoever that is, was a fair play. **Maureen** actually posted earlier, but the hamsters had their watches set to Bizarro Time so her post appeared after some others. So… Donald O’Connor -\> _Singin’ in the Rain_ -\> Debbie Reynolds -\> _The Singing Nun_ -\> Ricardo Montalban is in play now. ---

Man, I hadn’t seen this thread for so long that I figured a mod had closed it. Glad to see the game’s still afoot… [QUOTE=Gfactor] Keenan Wynn. [QUOTE] He appeared in some pretty bad movies, but also some decent ones, such as _Annie Get Your Gun_. ---

Am I the only one who wants to page **Eve** every time a movie like this gets posted (because I really have no idea on a lot of the late 40s/early 50s stuff)?
