  1. The middle one seems vaguely familiar, but since this is a "stealth" triple, I assume that the middle one isn't really necessary. And I won't get the cartoon part without googling. :( George
  2. I'm not sure if Raf is old enough to know this one, but I'm pretty sure WordWolf is. George
  3. :lol: No, those are three actresses, not three roles for one actress. George
  4. What, no Michael Caine? Alfred Pennyworth (Bruce Wayne's butler) This one may be a bit obscure... Meredith McRae Gunilla Hutton Jeannine Riley George
  5. When director submitted the film to the MPAA, they gave it an "X rating". He then made some cuts and resubmitted it a second time; again the film was given an "X rating" (one of the reasons apparently being that a character was shot too many times). He yet again made some further cuts and submitted it a third time; yet again it was given an "X". The director refused to cut the film any further to qualify it for an R. He and producer Martin Bregman arranged a hearing with the MPAA. They brought in a panel of experts, including real narcotics officers, who stated that the film was an accurate portrayal of real life in the drug underworld and should be widely seen. This convinced the 20 members of the ratings board to give the third submitted cut of the film an "R rating" by a vote of 18-2. However, the director surmised that if the third cut of the film was judged an "R" than the very first cut should have been an "R" as well. He asked the studio if he could release the first cut but was told that he couldn't. However since the Studio execs really didn't know the differences between the different cuts that had been submitted, he released the first cut of the film to theaters anyway. It wasn't until the film had been released on videocassette months later that he confessed that he had released his first unedited and intended version of the film. George
  6. Ahhh, the 60's: everybody smokes, all day; everybody drinks, all day; and sexual harassment is a way of life. George
  7. Well, at least I know the last one, now. I suspect that we have overlapping digits, rather than words, here. :) George
  8. Well, since Sean Penn was Conrad von Orton in "The Game," I assume that these are roles played by Michael Douglas George
  9. The first was his role in "The Game." You're up. George
  10. I'm embarrassed that it's been less than a year to re-tread that one. Anyway, WW's up! George
  11. No. Global Thermonuclear War Fine. :) You're up! George
  12. In the old days, that wouldn't have been a problem, as we had so many contestants. Now, you've taken a third of the players off the board. :rolleyes:/> George
  13. The writers' main inspiration for the character of Professor Stephen Falken was Cambridge Professor Stephen Hawking. Hawking was originally approached to appear in the movie, but he declined because he didn't want the producers exploiting his disability. This movie inspired congress to create and update the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1984. During their extensive research for the film, writers Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes made friends with many 'hackers' and security experts. They later wrote Sneakers (1992) another film featuring 'hackers' and security experts. George
  14. "Felix, for the last 40 years I've lived a life of dedicated debauchery. I've consumed enough booze to destroy a dozen healthy livers. I've filled my lungs with enough nicotine to poison the entire population of Orange County. I've engaged in sexual excesses that make Caligula look like a celibate monk. I have, in fact, conscientiously, day in and day out, for more years than you've been in this best of all possible worlds, tried to kill myself and I've never felt better in my life. So, if you're really going to end it all, I can show you at least a half-dozen better ways to do it." "Ben, do you realize that in a matter of a few hours you have demonstrated most of your excremental bodily functions." "I haven't sneezed." "A sneeze is expiratory, not excremental." "I'm going to show my boobies. What do you think, Irving, you've seen my boobies. Hmm, are they worth showing?" "Well, since I can only render an evaluation based on a completely impersonal, purely professional examination of the subject, uh, subjects, I would have to say that in my humble opinion you've got a terrific pair of knockers." "What'd you give him?" "Oh, a pinch of this, a dash of that. Sometimes referred to in the trade as a Sleeping Beauty Boilermaker. Take no notice if he begins to levitate. It's a common side effect." "Now Lila, in order to inject this properly I have to expose my gluteus maximus." "Want me to do it for ya?" "Are you perchance a nurse?" "No, I used to be a junkie." " Would it endanger your amateur standing if I asked you to use a sterilized needle?" "You're the doctor." "Oh, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all week." "You're gonna let that SHYSTER on?" "I could sue you for calling me that, Polly! A shyster is a disreputable lawyer. I'M a QUACK!" George
  15. A man paralyzed from the waist down from injuries he sustained in Vietnam repels crooks trying to break into his house at Christmas. George
