  1. "Nobody move, or the nose gets it!" This is "Sleeper."
  2. Ambition is dangerous! All those who want to become the monarch of all the districts must compete to the death, each representing their house, with the final survivor winning it all.
  3. *checks* "Surviving the Game" doesn't match the missing description, the "representing" part.
  4. If I had more information, I'd know where to start. I didn't hear about this. What's EVERYTHING you remember about this, no matter how trivial?
  5. "Ender's Game" is NOT a part of the answer. BTW, in GoT, everyone HAS a house, but nobody fights "representing" them.
  6. *checks* " King of Thrones" was a TV show about designer toilets and bathroom furnishings. (I kid you not.) So, it does not match any description here. This round IS, however, a TV-movie. ("Survivor", likewise, is NOT part of the answer.)
  7. BZZT! Christian Bale was NOT in "The Wrestler." The Imdb page and wikipedia page for Christian Bale and for "The Wrestler" do not list his name, even as " uncredited." Pending some really strong contrary evidence, he was not in the movie. So, the next round must be a link from "The Wrestler" other than Mickey Rourke.

  9. All Hail the King Iron Man 2 Mickey Rourke The Wrestler
  10. The Great Muppet Caper John Cleese Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone (movie 1)
  11. The Green Hornet travels by automobile. This is "Soylent Green Lantern."
  12. Yes, but last time was a few years ago, and you've missed it before. I was counting on it looking familiar but nothing more specific. Makes sense. So, George is up.

    The cone of Isaias

    If those maps are correct, it's BEEN pointed west, but they keep predicting it will turn east and go up central Florida. If that's normally what happens, then it makes sense. Otherwise, it looks ready to hit the Emerald Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. Frankly, it might be pointed at New Orleans, but I'd need a bigger map to know.
  14. We're Beatle fans (the Wolf family is, at least), but we, apparently, aren't hardcore enough to know the song you posted.
  15. "When they came for me, I ran like a thief right into Grand Central Station. They trapped me in a pay toilet." "Beautiful." "Cost them four dollars in nickels to get me out." "I love a volunteer."
  16. That's it. "Howard the Duck" + "Duck Soup." Victory is ours! Hail, hail Freedonia, land of the brave and free!
  17. I'd like to see what visuals you're referencing. E.T. , Predator and Close Encounter greys have human and animal attributes? Which ones have the fur? Which ones have the feathers? Which ones have paws?
  18. If you in particular are missing the first part, you're overthinking it. Anthropomorphic: having a form similar to human, with the implication that it's obviously not a person but something in the same basic, bipedal shape. This most common usage nowadays are in reference to "furry" characters, human-shaped with animal characteristics- like an animal-head or head resembling an animal (Mickey Mouse, the Thundercats, etc) and possibly other characteristics- fur, feathers, a tail, paws, etc.
  19. Felt like reviving this thread. Besides, it was my turn last. In this movie comedy, an anthropomorphic alien finds himself stuck on Earth. He ends up caught in the middle of a war brewing between Freedonia (the good guys) and Sylvania (the bad guys.)
  20. John Hurt had large roles in "From the Hip" (the second defendant in the movie, Douglas Benoit). "King Ralph" (Lord Percival Graves wanted the new king dethroned), and "V For Vendetta" (the British Prime Minister, and the TV spoofs of him.) In "Alien", he had a VERY memorable moment- which was spoofed in "Spaceballs" ("Oh, no, not again.") In the first HP movie, he played Ollivander, who sold Harry his wand.
  21. That's it. Anthony Hopkins' "Dr Van Helsing" had some great lines.
  22. Never saw the movie, but that's a neat moment.
  23. No. Keep in mind that a successful movie often pairs the actor to the lines- you give Keanu the vapid ones, you give more accomplished actors the complex lines that are memorable. This isn't "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein", either.
