  1. "Giant! Kill him your way!" "What is my way?" "Hide behind a boulder; and when he comes by, smash his head in with a big rock!" "Hunh. My way is not very sportsmanlike." (from memory, so probably not verbatim) George
  2. "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" (or whatever the first one was called)? George
  3. :lol: My next guess was going to be "Help!" George
  4. That's the one. When Gypsy Rose Lee is getting started, a couple of her co-workers tell her (in song) that "You Gotta Have a Gimmick": George
  5. I would occasionally get reamed for the usual "not believing everything in Way doctrine and practice, without question"; but I can't think of anything as bizarre as some of your examples. It's sad that the "ream-ees" got hell for no reason, but I think it's equally sad that the ream-ers had no clue. I hope you don't mind that I find some of these rather entertaining. What IS the correct way to chop tomatoes for salsa? :lol: George
  6. "You got my note!" "I got... A note..." George
  7. I don't understand this statement. Anyway, It's the first Expendables. Close enough. George
  8. This movie was about a decade later. George
  9. Stallone, Statham, Li, Lundgren, cameos by Schwarzenegger, Willis... George
  10. Correct. I remember a DJ saying that when they sang about the Mamas and the Papas, they sounded like the Mamas and the Papas; when they sang about the Beatles, they sounded like the Beatles; when they sang about Donovan, they sounded like Floyd the Barber. :lol: George
  11. Sometimes you gotta say "What the F---", make your move. Joel, every now and then, saying "What the F---", brings freedom. Freedom brings opportunity, opportunity makes your future. So your parents are going out of town. You got the place all to yourself. George
  12. I know I've seen it, but I can't place it. George
  13. New song: And they got a good thing goin' When the words don't get in the way. And when they're really wailing, Michelle and Cass are sailin'. Hey! they really nail me to the wall. George
  14. Hint: this movie had an all-star cast (for this particular genre of film) "I'm gonna do you a favor, Tool. 'I once knew a man called Tool/To me, was the epitome of cool/He was good with a knife/Bad with a wife/But to think he could beat me/Dreaming he'd defeat me/Cool Tool/You gotta be a fool.'" "And being wealthy is very good. It allows people to be the real a$$wipes nature intended them to be." "You know, the enemy's always been terrified of noise, especially shotguns. With this big boy spitting out 250 rounds a minute, you tell me who's tolerating that. Absolutely zero." "I got a feeling everyone else passed on this job, so our fee is $5 mil." "$5 mil?" "And I want half upfront, and the other half in an offshore account. You got a problem with that?" "No. What I have a problem with is people who try to f--- me over. So if you take this money and you don't deliver, or you try to f--- me in some kind of weird cockamamie scheme of yours, me and my people are gonna come get you and your people and chop you up into little f---ing dog treats. You got a problem with that?" "Let's talk." "We are the shadows and the smoke, we rise. We are the ghosts that hide in the night." George
  15. Before the decision was made to dub most of her vocals, Rosalind Russell attempted to do her own singing. The highly unsatisfactory results can be heard as an extra feature on the soundtrack CD. After Ethel Merman's death, a tape of the Russell recordings was found in a box in Merman's closet. Merman, who was infuriated that she had not been cast in the film, evidently had retained this copy of the Russell vocals as a strange and somewhat vengeful consolation prize. Ann-Margret was the first choice for the title role. The star of this film gets career advice, including "If you wanna make it, twinkle while you shake it" and "If you wanna bump it, bump it with a trumpet." George
