Charly? (The flowers for Algernon movie)

Is that supposed to be George Clooney?

#853 Post by **domino harvey** » Tue Mar 26, 2019 5:59 pm

Yes. I recognized him immediately...

#854 Post by **swo17** » Tue Mar 26, 2019 5:59 pm

I thought it was Cary Grant

When We Were Kings?

AfterTheRain · #857 Post by **AfterTheRain** » Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:26 pm

A Dream of Kings?

mteller · #858 Post by **mteller** » Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:30 pm

They look like William S. Burroughs and Francis Ford Coppola?

movielocke · #859 Post by **movielocke** » Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:35 pm

I thought Woody Allen and Coppola

After clicking Leon Gast on IMDB, the figure on the right actually looks a lot like Jerry Garcia from his Grateful Dead doc.

When We Were Kings makes sense if we're to believe it's Allen and Coppola

Buttery Jeb · #862 Post by **Buttery Jeb** » Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:38 pm

I saw Soderbergh and Coppola. Maybe it's just from reading articles about the recent Tribeca Q&A for the new cut of Apocalypse Now.

Definitely think you're right.

Not sure how the kings imagery works here, but it could be a double clue or a hint at a dual-release of both Grateful Dead and When We Were Kings. Unless that's too much?

What is the connection there?

If we take it further, maybe the guy on the left is wearing a leather jacket from his Hell's Angels doc. For a full boxset?

My thinking is they used to be Hollywood royalty and they're not anymore. That might be a stretch but feels right to me.

FrauBlucher · #867 Post by **FrauBlucher** » Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:44 pm

Maybe that’s Allen Ginsberg instead of Copolla

mteller · #868 Post by **mteller** » Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:47 pm

My first thought was Ginsberg too but it looks so much like Coppola to me I can't shake it

Gregory · #869 Post by **Gregory** » Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:49 pm

Ginsberg only grew that beard after he'd become completely bald on top.
My first thought was also Burroughs and Coppola, but I'm not sure what that would mean other than A Junky's Christmas.

Yes...?

FrauBlucher · #872 Post by **FrauBlucher** » Tue Apr 30, 2019 7:05 pm

That’s all I got

criterionoop · #873 Post by **criterionoop** » Tue Apr 30, 2019 7:07 pm

The figure on the left looks like Leon Gast (based on a google image search). So I'm guessing the person on the right is Jerry Garcia, and it's a clue for WHEN WE WERE KINGS and THE GRATEFUL DEAD MOVIE.

#874 Post by **swo17** » Tue Apr 30, 2019 7:15 pm

"Let's base a clue around the instantly recognizable image of household name Leon Gast"

I just Wiki’d Gast. It has to be The Greatful Dead movie.

CC usually has at least one music based release each year. We are due.
