Hadn't even thought of that.
I mean, they weren't in the same scenes or anything.

Those three definitely never worked together on a film.

you'd think they would have!
at this point though, it's too late for even two of them to work together again. :(

Charlie McCarthy

@ KM - George Lucas produced Labyrinth starring David Bowie and with puppets by Jim Henson
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 12 November 2020 20:57 (three years ago) link
kid with Andre the Giant is US sitcom star Fred Savage; the photo is presumably from the set or promotional campaign of The Princess Bride, which features both actors although not in the same scenes.
Charlie McCarthy was a popular ventriloquist dummy circa the 1940s

Sadly no photos but I’m sure you can picture it, even if the story has been somewhat embellished in the telling.

Is that Roger McGuinn in the weird shades besides Dylan?

Almost certainly. This is the Rolling Thunder Revue, of which McGuinn was part.

who would win in a fight? 1979 muhammad ali, or the rocky of Rocky II?
― Karl Malone, Friday, 27 November 2020 20:14 (three years ago) link
one thing i've noticed about Rocky - and i think i'm the first to ever make this observation - but he doesn't seem to be very good at blocking. in fact, it seems like the people who he fights manage to land clean, vicious hooks and uppercuts directly to his face and head dozens of times per fight.
― Karl Malone, Friday, 27 November 2020 20:15 (three years ago) link
leading with one's face until the other guy falls over is a key skill Rocky learned from Ali vs Foreman

Get your boxing history straight. Ali never 'led with his face' against Foreman. It's true Ali didn't throw many punches for the first six rounds, but he protected himself very determinedly, both head and body. By not dancing, backpedaling or jabbing much, he did allow Foreman to get in close and pummel him, but he blocked as many of those blows as possible.

Sometimes other people are not 100% earnest and serious in all of their posts. Sometimes they make offhand and silly points while posting quickly to massage boards. Thank you for the history lesson on a fight I've watched more times than I care to count.
