I like to point out sometimes what Regis Philbin used to say- "It's only easy if you know the answer." When it comes to movies, we each have our own favorites and movies we've seen- and some of those may be remarkably obscure. My favorite of the truly obscure movies was filmed in France (AFAIK), and was filmed in French. (I watched it with subtitles.) The movie takes place in France in the past, and plays with a local legend most non-French would not know. One advantage to watching the movie with the original audio is getting the nuances. In one scene, a veteran soldier appears. He's lost his right hand in a war, and now has to rely on using his left hand for everything. (He has a special pistol that's been constructed to wrap around his left forearm so he can fire one-handed.) He gets drunk and rude. When someone does the inevitable and starts to rein him in, he withdraws, but first he asks if he was being "gauche." In English, that means rude, oafish, but in French, it also means left-handed or the left-hand (a parrying dagger for the left hand to accompany your right-handed rapier is called a "main-gauche".) OK, the relevance of this movie here is that, early in the movie, the filmmakers could not resist making a nod to something as a bit of an inside joke. If you're looking for that sort of thing, it's easy to spot, but if you're focusing on a serious movie, the reference can go unnoticed-and probably does for most people. That movie aside, other movies have focused entirely on that which the nod, the reference, was referring. It's an old story, an incredibly famous story, one that has had versions in the US, in Europe, and more modified forms in Asia. At least one song has been released- and covered- that was based on that old story. At least one party game is loosely based, or inspired by, that story. The movie in question is one of them, of course. As for the movie in question (FINALLY WE GET TO THE MOVIE!), it came out in the current century. Most of the cast are not that well known, but among those that are is Gary Oldman. (Looking up his filmology is cheating...) One user review claims the movie tries to be a number of things, but fails at all of them. It makes a nod at trying to pick up the fans of the "Twilight" movies, but not much of one, mainly putting in a love triangle. It tries to be a sexier take on the old story, but doesn't ever seem to get sexy. It tries to be a horror film, but, again, it never seems to get there. The characters are uninteresting and dull, the sets are obviously soundstages when location shooting would have enhanced the atmosphere. Worse, an 80s film already covered some of this ground. While it wasn't great, it succeeded at being what it tried to be, which was SOME of these things, not ALL of these things. The movie in question tried to be ALL of these things at the same time, and ended up being NONE of these things. The movie in question has a name that makes it very obvious which story it's based on, as any U.S. child should be able to tell you. For the curious, the same old story was the idea behind 3 other movies (no kidding, 3 of them.) In fairness, I'd heard of one of those (for some value of "movie.") The titles of all 3 make a nod to it, as does the movie in question. The other one I'd heard of has a slightly less obvious nod in the title, but the connections are obvious in the "movie" itself. That one has a release date of 2010. The other 2 I'd never heard of until just now. One came out in 2003 and the other came out in 2016. The 2003 movie seems to have been a little European flick that got decent reviews despite its low budget (and, apparently, lack of marketing to the Western Hemisphere.) The 2016 film seems to have been made in the US on a tiny budget, and apparently looks like a film made by a film student who was bad at it. Despite similarities in the titles, those aren't the movie in question. The movie in question had lots of marketing, had at least a few recognizable movie stars. None of them, as far as I can tell, are known for making any Marvel movies like "the Avengers" or anything, not even the eponymous character. (Although I suppose, some lawyer somewhere might argue that this movie's title does not refer to a character, they would be wrong, as any kid in the US could tell you.) So, which movie was this?

I mentioned they included a love triangle. I said nothing about the movie either including a vampire or being any kind of comedy.

No, no.

"This is gonna replace CD's soon; guess I'll have to buy The White Album again.""You here to make fun of me too? " No, ma'am. We at the FBI do not have a sense of humor we're aware of. May we come in?" "Sure." "Did he say anything to you? "Yeah, that the world is coming to an end." "Did he say when?" "So what do you think? "Whew! Very interesting. She got a whole 'Queen of the Undead' thing going on... "What about the body?" "Great body..." "The dead body."

That's a magma flow that pours down like a wave. The other possibility is a magma flow that pours down and resembles glowing ropes as it flows. That's called "pahoehoe" which means "rope-like." This was explained once on "Standard Deviants", a show that me and maybe a few dozen people watched. "Aa" was also the name of a Green Lantern from "Stoneworld". "Pahoehoe" was also the name of an attack by rock monsters in the JRPG "Chrono Trigger." That about covers everything I know on the subject.

Yeah, but you weren't in a movie saying that, which changed the context to me.

That's him. A swordsman with no mask who's neither a Latino nor Spaniard. Your turn!

No. Supposing the movie actually has both a love triangle and horror scenes, what "old story" would possibly have anything to do with it?

It's arguable either way, but go ahead and answer it this time.

I've only seen a minute or two of the movie. But hearing someone advocate "if it's yellow let it mellow" is something I couldn't get out of my brain if I tried.

I think this should be an easy one. I hope this crowd thinks so. "Gotta catch 'em all!"

It is. I'm amazed anyone can remember that movie and not remember that incredibly specific insult. Your turn!

Hi, Belle! Well, we had an announcement that they're trying to sucker the new kids into working for them for free, which hasn't happened in a while. One possible question is- why did they want another free work force? One obvious answer is "because it's a free work force" but another is "because they're hiring out Camp Gunnison and they want a new roster of suckers to volunteer to work there for free so they don't have to pay the workers any salaries. The leopard hasn't changed his spots.

Now that we know they're hiring out Camp Gunnison for private use as a revenue source, it's not just convenient timing that they're trying to get a free workforce again. They want a new generation of young suckers to volunteer to work for free in Camp Gunnison so they can hire it out and not have to pay the workers any salaries!
