LOL Michael Keaton George

What is the top (pyramidal cap) of the Washington Monument made of? Extra credit: why was this significant (for the time)? George

No, but not far off... This movie holds the record for most miniature model work to appear in one film. Model shop supervisor Michael Joyce estimated that more miniatures were used for this film than in any other two films combined. Due to the advances in digital technology since this film's release, most experts believe this record may stand forever. Over seventy mock news broadcasts were created for the film. All used real-life newscasters, since the makers believed that actors would not look convincing in such scenes. Except for the bi-plane during the crop-dusting scene, any airplane seen in the air in this film is either a model or computer-generated effect. The quote, "And what the hell is that smell?" was not in the script. The scene was filmed in the salt flats near the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Great Salt Lake is home to tiny crustaceans called brine shrimp. When they die, the bodies sink to the bottom of the lake (which isn't very deep) and decompose. When the wind kicks up just right, the bottom mud is disturbed and the smell of millions of decaying brine shrimp can be very, very bad. Apparently, nobody warned the star. George

Airplane. "Et tu, Brute?" George

Cairo? George

I know there's one in Vatican City, but I can't think of another off the top of my head. George

Of course. It's the 1953 version, specifically. The 2005 version has a somewhat different quote. George

"The Martians had no resistance to the bacteria in our atmosphere to which we have long since become immune. Once they had breathed our air, germs, which no longer affect us, began to kill them. The end came swiftly. All over the world, their machines began to stop and fall. After all that men could do had failed, the Martians were destroyed and humanity was saved by the littlest things, which God, in His wisdom, had put upon this Earth." George

"Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard!" George

Tilda Swinton Dr. Strange Benedict Cumberbatch George

"Bad guy falls in poop: Classic element of physical comedy. Now comes the part where we throw our heads back and laugh. Ready?" "Ready!" [they all throw their heads back and laugh] "Don't worry. Nobody dies in this story. They just get really big boo-boos." "Arthur, I wish you would do something about all these monkeys. I feel like Jane Goodall." "Madam, I knew Jane Goodall and you are no Jane Goodall." George

Still need more names, Raf... George

Still. George

The only reason I'm not answering this now is because I'm already up on at least three other threads. I'll try to catch up this evening. George

You are correct, Sir! George

First: Chariots of Fire was, indeed, correct. Second: You've done this one recently. I can't quite think of it now, though. George
