  1. That could be said about many movies I've never seen. I think I MAY have heard of this one. George
  2. I like S&L! It will be interesting to see how it all plays out, but Superman and Lois in Smallville can work. There was a cute homage to "Lois and Clark" early on. Only one problem. I've got no problem with a black Perry White (Man of Steel) or Pete Ross (Smallville); but I don't know if I can abide a Lana Lang who isn't a redhead. George
  3. I figure the nose soliloquy would give it away. For me, it would have been the "we don't do irony here." Daryl Hannah (Roxanne) was locked our of her house, naked, when Steve Martin (CD Bales) sees her behind some bushes and asks if she would like a coat. You're up. George
  4. Yes. Donna Reed had her own show (and strong throwing arm). George
  5. She wants to return those things I bought her Tell her she can keep them just the same Things have changed, she doesn't love me now She's made it clear enough, it ain't no good to pine George
  6. Name the actor Gregory W. Miller Rau-Ru Noah Cullen George
  7. Taraji Henson Hidden Figures Kirsten Dunst George
  8. "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..." "Let's start with... Obvious: 'scuse me, is that your nose or did a bus park on your face? Meteorological: everybody take cover, she's going to blow! Fashionable: you know, you could de-emphasize your nose if you wore something larger, like... Wyoming. Personal: well, here we are, just the three of us. Punctual: all right, Delbman, your nose was on time but YOU were fifteen minutes late! Envious: Ooooh, I wish I were you! Gosh, to be able to smell your own ear! Naughty: uh, pardon me, sir, some of the ladies have asked if you wouldn't mind putting that thing away. Philosophical: you know, it's not the size of a nose that's important, it's what's IN IT that matters. Humorous: laugh and the world laughs with you. Sneeze, and it's goodbye, Seattle! Commercial: hi, I'm Earl Scheib, and I can paint that nose for $39.95! Polite: uh, would you mind not bobbing your head? The, uh, orchestra keeps changing tempo. Melodic: Everybody. He's got..." Everyone: [singing] "The whole world in his nose!" George
  9. 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. In the post-production photo of all cast and crew, the star and the director appear twice, once on the far left and another time on the far right. As it was slow-taking panoramic pictures, they ran to the other end before the pan reached that point. (FYI, I thought about doing the same thing when they took the photo of my Advanced Class. ) The movie was parodied in an episode of "Married with Children." George

  14. No. (I don't remember a rock-through-the-window scene in Halloween.)
