  1. Unfortunately, NYC has a LOT of professional sports teams (two baseball, two basketball, one or two football, depending on how you count the Jets), so it really shouldn't be the setting, here. I still have nothing. George
  2. Just knowing the story of Red Riding Hood, I suppose I could see it as a horror movie, but not with a love triangle. George
  3. And it is. The first quote was from "The Misfits"; the second from "It Happened One Night"; and the really obvious third one from "Gone with the Wind." George
  4. "Honey, we all got to go sometime, reason or no reason. Dyin's as natural as livin'. The man who's too afraid to die is too afraid to live." "Well, it is simple. lt's all in that old thumb, see? Some people do it like this. Or like this. All wrong. Never get anywhere. The poor things. But that old thumb never fails. lt's all a matter of how you do it, though. Now you take No. 1, for instance. That's a short jerky movement, like this. That shows independence. You don't care if they stop or not. You got money. Clever. No. 2, that's a little wider movement. Smile goes with this one, like this. That means you got a brand-new story about the farmer's daughter." "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." George
  5. "Animal House" "1.21 gigawatts! 1.21 gigawatts. Great Scott!" George
  6. Michael Keaton. The last is from "Batman." I don't recognize the others. George
  7. OK. Must be Pokemon. Never watched it (or played it). George
  8. Mark Strong John Glover Djimon Hounsou George
  9. "Luke, I'm your father!" "I tied my own shoes once. It is an highly over-rated experience." "Yes, Simba, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." George
  10. Close enough. "When a Stranger Calls." Based on an urban legend from the 50s. George
  11. Neither of those. It was "Black Adam." A kid he meets tells him he needs a cool tagline for when he sends a bad guy to the underworld. So he says it AFTER he kills a guy. The kid tells him "Tagline first, then kill." I figured there was a reasonable chance that at least WW would get it, if not Raf, too. "Listen to me. We've traced the call... it's coming from inside the house." George
  12. Steel Magnolias Anjelica Huston Grifters George
  13. I'm sure you're both being very clever, but I'm still not getting it. If "George" is a clue, then it could be George of the Jungle, but that wasn't a horror film. Something about St. George COULD be, but not all US kids (these days) would know who that is. George
  14. I suspect that Human gave us three movie titles, not actors or roles. George
  15. To be fair, I've only seen the first three. George
  16. I presume Raf's and your latest post include subtle clues, too; but I'm still not getting it. Hating oneself in the morning could refer to a werewolf, but I can't think of any 21st century movies about one. "Taking a powder" and hating oneself in the morning could be Jekyll and Hyde, but I still come up goose eggs. The "US kids" clue isn't helping, either. George
  17. The new NBC show "Suits L.A." has what I might call Easter Eggs, in that many of the lawsuits involve actors playing themselves. In one episode, we have Patton Oswald helping Brian Baumgartner reinvent himself. In another, Rico Colantoni reminds everybody how great he was in "Galaxy Quest," demeaning Sigourney Weaver who "only had one job" and didn't have to play an alien (but he admits she was good in "Ghostbusters"). I hope this trend continues. George
  18. Since almost any city large enough to have a pro sports team has an NBA team, having only two non-soccer pro teams rules out larger cities like Chicago, Houston, LA, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta... Milwaukee had famous sitcoms (Laverne and Shirley, Happy Days), but none that I can think of with Milwaukee in the title. Dallas had "Dallas," but I'm not sure that would meet any of the other clues. It wasn't a sitcom, and I'd hardly call it a dramedy. Just trying to see what sticks, here... George
