March 27[edit]

Movie with Frank Sinatra Junior and Frank Sinatra Senior[edit]

i remember a Movie starring Frank Sinatra and his son. In this movie they share an apartment together as playboys. The movie name is not listed nor any information about it ever existing. Where is this movie? The problem is i can't remember the name of the movie.

I believe Mark is mistaken. This is the sort of thing where the IMDB is very reliable, and their collaborations and overlaps search is meant for questions like this. And it shows 8 entries where both Sinatras are credited, but all of them are either TV appearances or documentaries, no movies where they acted. --69.159.61.172 (talk) 07:11, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
71.161.243.235's description is somewhat reminiscent of Come Blow Your Horn, but the Sinatra character's younger brother, who comes to live and learn in his playboy apartment, was played by Tony Bill, not Frank Jr. Deor (talk) 11:19, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Was this song an instant hit when it was released? And also, is the song an admission of Bragg's sexuality? The lyrics suggest this. --Maskibiscuito (talk) 11:59, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The song reached #27 on the UK charts on 6 July 1991 and #2 on the US charts on 12 October. The 17 September date in our article is presumably the US release date, so it wasn't an "instant" hit. Bragg married in 1992 (see this article from The Guardian on his website), and the lyrics begin "I've had relations with girls from many nations", so if one had to "admit" to being heterosexual 25 years ago, then it was such an admission.

TVtropes horror movie? When the bad guy just stands quiet and the victim gets scare.[edit]

Is there a TV Tropes type of horror movie device when the bad guy just stand straight facing the victim, arms hanging by the sides, maybe holding a knife, but quite relaxed? --Scicurious (talk) 19:16, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe [Implacable Man]? --Jayron32 01:55, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • It reminds me of Jump Scare, but I don't see it listed there as a subtype. --M@rēino 21:19, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The scariest part is when he tilts his head slightly to the side, like a dog. The Great Muta, I mean, but Jason Voorhees, too. Silent Antagonist gets a piece of it. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:36, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
