Could you give me a clue such as the name of the writer and/or the series he produced?

No, no, Poet. It's yours. I'm busy myself right now.

Good job! If you haven't seen the movie, it's pretty good. I work in a cube farm and Office Space and Dilbert are pretty frequently referenced.

ZERE VOODOO / POET MIX / MELTED STAMINA
- character name / film / actor - character name is a pun - film is an Eighties cult classic (says I) - actor's brother is very much in the news at the moment

NOW MONGER ADMIRE / SHIRT INWARRA
1. Movie / star 2. The movie is a classic film noir, considered (by me) one of the best ever made. 3. It was shot in 13 days.

Good job, Harry. This is one hell of a good picture, despite its low budget. One of the best noirs, and I've always had a crush on Marie Windsor, though she was usually cast in B pictures. Just the way things worked in the old Hollywood studio system, I guess, because she was a first-rate actress.

Oh yup, quality picture. Though I always thought the humour in it kinda kicked it out of the noir genre (not to say noir can't be funny). More like American Hitchcock imho - definitely smart, wicked, fun and worth a Sunday afternoon of anyones life.
Anyone want to take my go? I'm far too drunk for scrambling.
