  4. My power was out from 4:30 Monday to 5:00 yesterday... "I have a dream. It's not a big dream, it's just a little dream. My dream - and I hope you don't find this too crazy - is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, "Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!" That would be bad. " "I would rather be with the people of this town than with the finest people in the world." "What am I afraid of her for? She's no rocket scientist." "Well, actually, she is a rocket scientist." "Nobody had a coat?" "I thought you said you didn't want a coat..." "Why would I not want a coat?" "You said you didn't want a coat!" "I was being ironic." "Oh, ho, ho, irony! Oh, no, no, we don't get that here. See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at." "So, why don't you ask her out?" "Sometimes I take a walk at night and I see couples walking, holding hands and I look at them and I think: "Why not me?" Then I catch my shadow on the wall..." George
  5. No. (I don't remember a rock-through-the-window scene in Halloween.) For the scene that required the female lead to throw a rock through the window of the Granville house, the director hired a marksman to shoot it out on cue. To everyone's amazement, she broke the window by herself. She had played baseball in high school and had a strong throwing arm. The set for the town was constructed in two months and was one of the longest sets that had ever been made for an American movie. It covered four acres of RKO's Encino Ranch. It included 75 stores and buildings, a main street, a factory district and a large residential and slum area. Main Street was 300 yards long--three whole city blocks. The female lead had her own TV show from 1958 to 1966. The gym floor that opens in the middle to reveal the swimming pool underneath was filmed at Beverly Hills High School In Beverly Hills, California, USA was real and is still in regular use. The same gymnasium moving floor was used in a similar school dance scene in Whatever It Takes, fifty-four years later. Films made prior to this one used cornflakes painted white for the falling snow effect. Because the cornflakes were so loud, dialogue had to be dubbed in later. The director wanted to record the sound live, so a new snow effect was developed using foamite (a fire-fighting chemical), soap, and water. This mixture was then pumped at high pressure through a wind machine to create the silent, falling snow. 6,000 gallons of the new snow were used in the film. The RKO Effects Department received a Class III Scientific or Technical Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Academy Award aka Oscar Award) for the development of the new film snow.
