Sesame Street's "Opium Party on the Cruise Ship"? Just kidding about Sam C's celebrated pipe dreams.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner?

<< Game hint: If I'm correct, say so. If not, say something like "Wrong, you fool; take another wild guess.">>

Of course correct and I am relieved I managed to write one since I really just like answering trivia. I guess I better practice marshalling my thoughts to put clues together if I want to play.:fingersx:
 
Thank you. Looking forward to your clues

1. In Greek, the movie title would be Thanatos.

2. Charles B.

3. Vigilante.

Thanatos means "Death", so I am going to guess, "Death"?

My Greek is so rusty, but I think "thanato" is the prefix meaning death, and with the "s," it loosely means the two-word title of the movie.

It went on to be a series of bloody B movies.

Death Wish
 
Thank you.

1. Married 5 times

2. Pilgrim

3. Her best friend named Alys
 
Hmmmm. Chaucer's Wife of Bath in The Canterbury Tales was on the famous pilgimage from London to Canterbury. She was married five times, and I think of her because she was deaf. However, no friend Alys was ever mentioned.

Still, two out of three ain't bad, so I'll guess the unnamed Wife of Bath?

You are right but I think in prologue say she likes a man who came to stay with her best gossip Alison and later mentions Dame Alys as same person?:dunno2:
 
Good lesson: I should never have said, "no friend Alys was ever mentioned" like I remember every line of Chaucer, yeah right. But I'm a sucker for literary trivia (see our thread on it in "Creative Writing"), so now I have to dust off my copy of The Canterbury Tales.

Anyway, you play a good game.


1. Begun as 1940s and ‘50s hot-dog stand of the same name in San Bernardino.

2. In 1955 Ray Kroc switched to Henry Ford-style assembly-line food, fast and cheap.

3. Now international chain, infamous for low wages.
