  1. "Halloween" "Tomorrow" (And, no, "Dave" isn't the correct answer.) George
  2. Correct! In "Tropic Thunder" "Kirk Lazarus" (Robert Downey, Jr.) tells "Tugg Speedman" (Ben Stiller) that as an actor, it never pays to "go full retard": Kirk Lazarus: Everybody knows you never go full retard. Tugg Speedman: What do you mean? Kirk Lazarus: Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed... And was from the "X-Files" epidose chronicling the origin of "the Smoking Man"George
  3. In this TV movie, a band of dwarves jumps from era to era looking for treasure to steal. They wind up in Storybrooke, ME, where fairy tales are real. George
  4. A nickelodeon is an old juke box, when it cost a nickel to play a song. A champion, of course, is a hero. George
  5. When this film became wildly successful, talk of a sequel naturally arose. However, at the time, the star adamantly refused to work in any sequel (and making the sequel with another actor was not a consideration). The star HAS since appeared in sequels of OTHER movies in which he starred. Warner Bros. gave up the rights to the film in 1988, in exchange for the rights to Executive Decision (1996), because the studio felt that the project had lost its commercial promise in the wake of Rain Man (1988). Here's who turned down the lead role: John Travolta, Bill Murray, and Chevy Chase. One of the most memorable scenes from the movie was parodied (delightfully, I think) on an episode of "The X-Files." The movie is referred to in "Tropic Thunder." George
  6. "Les Miserables" I recognized it because one of the bands I perform with played a medley of Les Mis songs, and I remember "Master of the House." George
  7. I believe that that's the one! It's funny how I won't remember something that happened a week ago, but I can remember a scene from a movie I haven't seen in over forty years. George
  8. I remember seeing it decades ago. As I recall, the last scene has the wolfman pulling the Frankenstein monster over a waterfall. I also seem to remember a "sequel" where someone finds both the wolfman and the monster frozen in ice. Am I hallucinating? :) New one soon. George
  9. "Young Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman Jack Show"? George
  10. "Star Trek VIII: First Contact" An old nigger and an old Jew woman takin' off down the road together... that is one sorry sight! George
  11. As usual, here's who turned down the lead role: John Travolta, Bill Murray, and Chevy Chase. One of the most memorable scenes from the movie was parodied (delightfully, I think) on an episode of "The X-Files." The movie is referred to in "Tropic Thunder." George
  12. I think the characters are Jay and Silent Bob, though I'm not sure which was the 1999 movie. "Dogma"? George
  13. And then he found that the spot was marked by a big Roman numeral 10 (X). :lol: George
  14. I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block And I sit at home looking out the window Imagining the world has stopped Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a Union Jack And says, I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is it there on the line?" A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you?" Well, I guess I'm doin' fine George
  15. I think we need some more quotes, Raf. George
  16. Perhaps a better line (though I think we've used it before) is He has chosen -- poorly. George
