Seen Raiders several times.
No "still dead" here.
Oh, what has science wrought? I sought only to turn a man into a metal-encased juggernaut of destruction powered by the unknown properties of a mysterious living crystal. How could this have all gone wrong?

Van Gogh and Bugsy. I thought "one of the writers and producers" was a cute way to not say Warren Beatty. I guess the facts that

he's a bad guy and he dies
makes it not so much like James Bond (ETA--also, it was 1991).

Hard not to think "still dead", but in Ken's place I'd have made a statement by saying nothing.

I'm pretty sure I even saw Raiders in a theater once.

Did think 'still dead' re: Franco

"Still dead" occurred to me, even though I thought SNL was never very funny.

Have seen Raiders many times, have never thought it seemed like a Bond film OR a Western.

The Untouchables was my guess for Thursday’s FJ, though knew it was wrong

I did not think “still dead” for Franco (though I know he is)

Thought Howl was closer to 1959 or 1960 for some reason. The Sting on Thursday.

Stephen was introduced as "from Longmont, Colorado," but Friday's FJ may be an indication he's not a native or long-term resident.

I just realized I never posted in this thread (though I voted in it, I like keeping a public record of my FJs). I was traveling with my choir Wednesday through Sunday the 15th-19th, and didn't go home on Tuesday the 14th; I watched Tuesday's on YouTube that night, and saw most of Wednesday's in a hotel. I wasn't able to catch Thursday's and therefore willingly skipped Friday's. Then I got home and found my device didn't record Wednesday through Friday, and the copyright bots had already gotten to the YouTube uploads, so I played exclusively from J! Archive for the first time in quite a while.

Anyway, I said van Gogh on Wednesday and guessed Raging Bull as an '80s movie that takes place decades prior, then thought of Who Framed Roger Rabbit as well.
