    - I maintain that if Trump is reelected, RBG and Breyer end up replaced with, like, Diamond and Silk. -- nm - Tim May 5, 18:21

- The tweet is accurate -- nm - crash davis May 5, 17:20 2
  - And it reminds me of the campaign speech in 2016 which ended and they played REM's End Of The World -- nm - crash davis May 5, 17:22 1
    - I've also heard it played as he entered too, its a favorite, they complained but the venue normally has a license not the renters -- nm - zeitgeist May 5, 18:35
Would it be completely crazy to take a long weekend, hit the road, maybe find an airbnb somewhere and spend time cooped up in someone else's house - znufrii, silly old man May 5, 17:07 13
- I'm considering it. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 17:38
- Uh, I looked into downtown LA hotels for a change of scenery as well as being in a different delivery area - JD May 5, 17:19
- Moderately crazy. No real way to know how to access the virus risk. -- nm - Qale May 5, 17:17 2
  - An empty apartment really isn't a risk. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 17:39 1
    - My point is that there are too many unknowns to make a real determination. -- nm - Qale May 5, 18:22

    - Uh...travel from where? That sounds like an impossible non-stop trip. Course I probably have your starting point wrong -- nm - JD May 5, 18:27
Now we are having an argument over the placement of the three best baseball films of the 80s (because I said Duvall was in the third) Your rankings? -- nm - crash davis May 5, 16:59 9
- Bull Durham, Eight Men Out, The Natural... oh wait, mud put them in the same order. Well, there were are then. -- nm - Mr. Havens May 5, 18:05
- Major League, Field of Dreams and it’s been too long to adequately rank Bull Durham in there. -- nm - Will Hunting May 5, 17:35
- they all star Kevon Costner..also a very overlooked 1991 baseball fim worth seeing. Talent For the Game with James Edward Olmos -- (link) - Peglegpete May 5, 17:09
- Bull Durham, Major League, Field of Dreams -- nm - Beaker May 5, 17:05

- Bull Durham, 8 Men Out, The Natural -- nm - mud May 5, 17:00 2
  - 8 Men Out is #4 -- nm - crash davis May 5, 17:05 1

Settle an argument for me: Robert Duvall's most famous film role prior to 1989? -- nm - crash davis May 5, 16:22 35
- It's going to be generational. One generation has To Kill a Mockingbird. Another has The Godfather. Another has Apocalypse Now -- nm - Mr. Havens May 5, 18:06
- Tossup between Apocalypse and Godfather. GF would be mentioned first in the headline, but the first scene they would play on the news would be Apocalypse. -- nm* - con_carne May 5, 16:55
- Apocalypse Now, followed closely by The Godfather. -- nm - JaxSean May 5, 16:53
- The Great Santini for him, The Godfather for movie -- nm - David May 5, 16:52 1
  - The Great Santini is also another good performance -- nm - crash davis May 5, 16:53
- the actual argument - crash davis May 5, 16:50 2
  - he was in To Kill a Mockingbird? huh. -- nm - Remlik May 5, 17:38
  - Mockingbird is maybe the seventh movie I'd pick for him. not even "Oh yeah, he was in that too," more "Oh, that was him?" - mafic May 5, 17:34
- the first response was correct, all the rest are moo -- nm - mud May 5, 16:41
- I think if you asked this in 1990 the answer would actually be Tender Mercies. -- nm - Max May 5, 16:39 4
  - TM was good, but if I asked in 1990 it would be behind Colors, The Natural, Lonesome Dove and the others on this list (except plp's 2nd answer) -- nm - crash davis May 5, 16:46 3
    - film in the poll excluded his Twilight Zone appearances -- nm - Peglegpete May 5, 16:48 2
      - You are right, Lonesome Dove isn't really a film -- nm - crash davis May 5, 16:52 1
        
        you still might be able to count Lonesome Dove. check if it was released on tv in Europe or as films. They were doing that with mini-series back then. -- nm - Peglegpete May 5, 16:59
- after looking at IMDB, I have to ad THX1138 with an asterisk because it is more George Lucas than him, yet still important. -- nm - Peglegpete May 5, 16:34 2
  - pffft, you still missed Trish's answer even after looking at IMDB (which I think proves my point) -- nm - crash davis May 5, 16:36 1
    - that's fine. the * is to make sure it never was #1, but a film which had a lot of importance to his career, and to be remembered in this poll -- nm - Peglegpete May 5, 16:44
- Godfather, then tied: True Grit & Apocalypse Now -- nm - Peglegpete May 5, 16:28 3
  - I call that bold talk from a one eyed fat man! -- nm - Beaker May 5, 16:29 2
    - Fill yer hands you sons of bitches! -- nm - One Eyed Fat Man May 5, 16:33 1

- The Shining - Dano May 5, 16:26 2
  - nice -- nm - Peglegpete May 5, 16:31
  - go sit in the corner and think about what you have done -- nm - crash davis May 5, 16:30
- The Godfather. - Will Hunting May 5, 16:26
- Tom Hagen -- nm - prayformojo May 5, 16:25
- isn't the entire answer just the Godfather pre or post? -- nm - Beaker May 5, 16:25 6
  - We are watching Lonesome Dove (1989) and got into a disagreement over what Duvall was most known for prior to the filming of that -- nm - crash davis May 5, 16:27 2
    - have you seen Open Range? watch that next. best shootout -- nm - Beaker May 5, 16:33 1
      - Did you shoot my friend? - crash davis May 5, 16:35
  - I'd say Godfather is the most famous movie he's been in but he's like the seventh actor you think of for it. - Reagen May 5, 16:27 1
    - and - crash davis May 5, 16:28
  - (post 89 I loved him in Lonesome Dove and Open Range though too) -- nm - Beaker May 5, 16:26

  - and they all voted one way in '16 -- nm - mud May 5, 16:42
- I am a quite passive person physically speaking. But I cannot promise I’d remain such after berating him. -- nm - Qale May 5, 16:27
- Step one: pour gasoline on the hood. Step two: hold up a lit match. Step three: ask him to reconsider. - David May 5, 16:20 2
  - Germany legislated away Nazi emblems didn’t they? -- nm - Qale May 5, 16:28 1
    - Yes. They don't fuck around with it, either. Holocaust denial is also a crime -- nm - TWuG May 5, 17:01
Of course the election is going to wind up as some kind of Constitutional nightmare. Because 2020. -- nm - Dano May 5, 16:07 5
- Beeden 2020 -- nm - Beryllium May 5, 16:19

  - They didn't exactly ask for my shirt size so it has much more to do with them sending out one size fits most shirts than anything I've done over the - JD May 5, 16:45
  - I have t-shirts from the 70's I still fit in -- nm - Peglegpete May 5, 15:55
