The last one is Jumanji welcome to the jungle

The other two I really don't know. Are they from popular movies?

Spot on. I absolutely love the Jumanji movies with Johnson and Hart.. Those two make me laugh so hard..

The first one is quite new - It's a Marvel.

The second one is a classic... Part of a trilogy from the 90s with a couple of sequels being made lately.

1. "Your world is not so ugly after all. I'm almost sorry to see it end."

2. "That is one big pile of xxxx."

3. The goal for you. I'll recite in verse / Return the jewel and lift the curse / If you wish to leave the game / You must save XXXXXXX and call out its name.

On 3. I had to scratch it cause it otherwise gives it away right away.

You both got #1-- The Princess Bride.  Thought that might foot some as the quote really doesn't fit the entire movie. Great job.

Any guesses on the other two.  Need a hint?

#2 is either Goodfellas or Once Upon a Time In America

It's been a while since we 'played' here so I'll go back with a few pretty easy ones


"You killed my father. Prepare to die,"


"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster."


"Go ahead, make my millennium."

The Princess Bride?

Let's see how dirty your minds are.. .

Roses are Red, Nuts are brown,

Skirts go up, Pants go Down,

Body to Body, Skin to Skin,

When it is Stiff, Stick it in,

The longer its in, the stronger it Gets,

It goes in Dry, Comes out Wet,

It comes out dripping, and it starts to Sag,

Its not what you think...








its a Teabag.

Watched the new James Bond film the other night (No Time to Die) and wasn't disappointed.

I won't spoil it for anyone, but it's definitely turning the page on any upcoming Bond films. The ending was....well, not going to spoil it. Once everyone gets to see it, I'd love some banter about the changes going on for 007

Yup. Seen it, found it to be good. And yeah, don't spoil. It's different than anything before. 

I watched 'Ghostbusters Afterlife' the other day - I absolutely loved it. Got me back to the ol' days. 

And to be completely honest one of my favourite duos is K Hart and D Johnson - absolutely love them in the new Jumanji movies.
The second one with Danny De Vito is even better, his humour is still very unique...

Thanks for sharing your experience, Dom.  It truly amazes me how different everyone's experience is with Covid.  It's sort of surprising how strong your illness was considering you were less than 6 months out of being fully vaccinated.   One thought that pops into my head is, imagine how bad things would have been for you had you not be vaccinated.

I don't want to know... I really don't. And I am happy I actually was vaccinated.

I think my illness was moderate, but not more than that. My wife and my big daughter recovered quite quickly, while the little one and myself still struggled with excessive tiredness until after Christmas.

I remember the words of the Austrian Health Minister back on October...
"At the end of the next Winter, there will be 3 sort of people; The vaccinated, the recovered and the dead".

That stuck with me, still does.

Funny enough, my daughters (5&7) brought COVID home in mid-November. My wife and I had the second jab of the Moderna Vaccine at the end of May, right before the 6-mth deadline for the booster was approaching, we got it.
It wasn't a walk in the park. Reminds me of my mom being seriously ill but being tested negative before new years, telling me the other day she was sure to have had it nonetheless.
I just said "mom, when you contract the virus you feel it, trust me. It's something I've never felt before and you can feel that it's just a different beast than anything felt before."
This bastard sticks with you and the perseverance that it has is absolutely insane; You feel like someone went through every bone in your body and broke them one by one. You take a painkiller, goes away for a while, then when the effects of the painkiller dwell down it comes back with a vengeance - even worse than before. I remember being in day 4/5 and thinking 'ffs, when is the time I actually do call the Doc?'
Luckily, after about a week it was all over, but it's definitely not 'just a flu'. And I do not want to know what would've happened if I wasn't vaccinated...

Now I will need to wait for my booster being recovered for about 2 months only. I believe it wasn't the Omicron variant, but the Delta. So the hope is that if I do get Omicron (and I think I will at some point), it won't be as bad as Delta was.

At the end of the day this one's about reducing the risk of serious illness from COVID - so get the jab, reduce that risk and hope to be able to cope with it when you do get it.

And I seriously hope (or like to think) that Omicron is the beginning of the end of this Pandemic because like all of you I am sick and tired of it.

It's funny, some of us 'older' guys, look back on the 'Dark Ages' of Giants football, the late 60s, all of the 70s and early '80s as that, the Dark Ages.

When you get a bit older, you will look back at these last 10 years of Giants football as your 'Dark Ages'.

You will hate me for saying that Len, but...

If those are my dark ages, and you already had them in the  late 60s, all of the 70s and early '80s, you are still one dark age ahead of me.
There still is a chance I won't live through a second dark age of the Giants'... 

Realistic? No. Possible? Yes. 

Name's Domenico but you can call me Dom.

My goodness... 1971... I wasn't even born.

It is now that I think "41, am I that old?"

You are right on. I will give you credit for the Star Trek one. Actually, it was in one of the movies, Star Trek, the Wrath of Khan (maybe the best one of the entire set ). Spoken by spock.  The saying was really the motto of the TV series but never spoken in any episode.

Any guess on the first quote?
It was from a comedy from 1950
