Another attempt with another guest?

Was it this you watched?

The Amazing Spider-Man (TV series)

I am not sure about that program; it was only a few years before my time and I never saw it.

Here we go?

And it appears that both of those attempts were unsuccessful.

I saw the cartoon series and the feature film that was released in 1977 and I think that the film was one of the episodes of the The Amazing Spider-Man (TV series) for it did star Nicholas Hammond.

The last time I ever played Monopoly, it was for a time limit, and I managed to buy both utilities...and the monopoly of Park Place and Boardwalk!

Film director Ridley Scott is making a film based on the Monopoly game here in London. It is being made in secrecy and there is not much info on it.

I have not played Monopoly in 2 or 3 years. The last time I played it was with kids.

I have not found any online versions of the game. All I have is a boxed version of it that was made sometime in the 1980's, but the game itself is still in great condition. (That's 'cause we haven't played it much.)

When I played it that last time, I did not get as far as buying houses, because like I said, we set a time limit (1 hour, I believe). I know there are more advanced things such as selling houses and hotels, mortgages, etc.

Well, at the time, I was getting acquainted with most of Weird Al's music, and we found out that he'd be performing at the Orange County Fair...so we decided to go see the show. Also, my mother's cousin and his family were living in nearby Tustin, so we got together with him and traveled down from his house to the fair. The show was lotsa fun.

Also, it was my second time seeing the man in person. The first was in February 1997 at a Dr. Demento show at Caltech in Pasadena. I noticed during intermission that he was sitting in the bank of seats across the aisle from me...but I didn't get to meet him. (Nor did I really have any desire to.) Lots of people were lined up waiting to meet him/get his autograph during the intermission period, and I just stayed in my seat.

That's nice. Someone I would have liked to see in concert, but have not.


What's this past tense stuff?  Weird Al is still actively performing and touring.

That's true, after nearly 5 decades of making music, they still travel all over the world and perform concerts together. Mick Jagger is currently 66 years old and will be 67 in July.

In fact, I haven't seen too many bands in concert. Just three years ago I saw The Duprees, The Penguins, Diamond Dave Somerville, and Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge all at the same show and they were great. And in 1999 I saw Weird Al (as mentioned above, and his backup band)... and when my family went to the Orange County Fair in 1997 we saw the Grass Roots (another classic band) perform.

Yeah, I like watching them too. I don't hear much of it on the radio anymore (if at all), not even on most "oldies" stations... and the fact that some of those musicians are still around, and that they're able to still perform, is wonderful too. Of course, some of the groups have recruited newer members over the years, but they maintain the sound nonetheless.

I grew up with certain music that I didn't know until later in my life. When I was little, in the 80's, many radio stations still had 70's stuff on their playlists, and it kinda got phased out during the 90's...until "oldies" stations began adding it to their playlists.

Yes... although rap music's roots can be traced earlier than that. The first commercially successful rap song was probably "Rappers Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang, which was released in 1979. Of course, that song's rhythm track was borrowed from "Good Times" by Chic, a disco song.

I saw the first two when they were new (in 1998 and 2001, respectively), and have watched 'em again on TV when they've been shown. I did not get a chance to see the third one, but I would still like to see it. And on Sunday night I'll get that chance.

I think so. Jackie Chan has a leading role in them; he plays a Hong Kong detective, and Chris Tucker plays a witty member of the Los Angeles police force. In each Rush Hour installment, they are assigned to solve a serious case (the first being a kidnapping) and must deal with a series of villains, who Jackie Chan's character ultimately takes care of with his martial arts skills.

Also, at the end of each Rush Hour film, they show outtakes which I find hilarious.
