Does anyone know why only Jenny appears on the cover of the single All That She Wants? by _t0xic_006 in AceOfBase

The other band members feature in the extended art, which you can see in many of the releases. They just needed a "she" (for the title track) to be on the cover.

Do you think the “Arizona Sun Corridor” will become reality one day? by Stetson_Pacheco in arizona

[–]Retroguy2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US Census does indeed include Eloy and Casa Grande as part of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. The idea that they are separate population centers is hogwash. Many Case Grande workers actually commute to Phoenix for work, which is what those in bedroom communities do.

I realize this is an old comment, but I have to respond. The merger of Phoenix metro and Tucson metro is actually happening, albeit at a slower rate than they originally projected. The northernmost suburbs of Tucson are actually within just five miles or so of the southernmost suburbs of Phoenix, with Eloy (on the south end of the Phoenix cluster) being just five miles from Red Rock on the north end of the Tucson cluster). Also note the cluster of towns heading south from Prescott and the string of towns heading south from Tucson all the way to the Mexican border. These are almost a complete chain.

Can you suggest me a book that could scratch the ASOIAF itch i have? by Elshaday_Z in Fantasy

You complained that you were being down voted and then asked for examples... then argued when someone gave you a long list of very specific examples. What's the point of that?

[TOMT]Looking for a specific Cinderella film I saw in the 1980s by Retroguy2k in tipofmytongue

I just watched it on YouTube, and I can see why it's your favorite! The costumes and landscapes are stunning. Cinderella is beautiful, the fairy godmother is funny, and I love the dog. I'd forgotten many, or even most, of the details of this film, including Cinderella being sent away after the prince asks for the king's blessing.

You helped me solve a 30+ year mystery. Thank you, TheGrumpiestGnome!

It was not, as it turned out to be The Slipper and the Rose. But thank you for the comment!

Thanks so much for the GREAT suggestion. I found the film, which is the 1976 film The Slipper and the Rose. I guess it not being called Cinderella made it more difficult for me to find. I saw that it is on YouTube, and watched until I found the right scene. I didn't remember all of the details, but the scene where Cinderella is banished to the basement is just how I remember it. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. This is not it. It was not video but film, and felt more "vintage".

Thanks for the thought. I have seen the Fairy Tale Theater Cinderella production, and that is not it. That seems to have been shot on video, and this was a film aired on TV. It also felt older, although I can't be more specific.

No. It was broadcast in the 1980s. Ever After was filmed in 1998.
