That's the "Name that Flick" thread, and that's done by the person whose turn it is, unless it's currently open to a FREE POST, which means anyone can take the turn. The first few posts on a thread say what the thread's about. This one is for general trivia but NOT quotes.

I absolutely guarantee he did not, nor could he.

George is correct, making this George's turn. George? Even though it's your turn, in the interest of encouraging new players, can Oldies take the turn anyway?

"Why is there always somebody that brings eggs and tomatoes to a speech?" "I could really get into this mayor stuff. It's not about power, it's about reaching out to people -touching people - groping people!" "Maybe this is a bad time to mention this, but my license has expired!" "It's true I was their number one son... but they treated me like number two." "Hi. I believe the word you're looking for is 'AAAAAAAHHHHH!' Actually, this is all just a bad dream.You're at home in bed, heavily sedated, resting comfortably." "Oh my God. Does this mean we have to start fighting?"

Personally, I think I liked the first quote best. Let's see what else I can get...

Thanks. Sometimes the brain cooperates, and sometimes it doesn't. In this case, "Basher Tope" sounds distinctly Cockney to me. In the movie, he said something in Cockney rhyming slang, then stopped and translated it for the Americans who had no idea what he meant. "...and then we'll be all 'Barney.'" *stares* "Barney RUBBLE?" *stares* "We'll be in TROUBLE!" I sometimes wonder how the heck Cockneys ever agree on the slang and understand each other in the first place. (As for Basher Tope sounding Cockney, I saw a comic with Captain Britain once, and a Cockney named Bash in it.) Put that together with the actor having to be black, and I jumped to the conclusion that he played the guy in Oceans 11 and that was his name. Hey- in my head, that was actually pretty straightforward!

A) You don't know what he looks like, so looking for his photo wouldn't help. B) Almost nobody remembers he did the role, so it wouldn't be easy to find that in an image search unless you hunted for it. (And there's easier ways to CHEAT if you wanted to that badly.) C) When he was dressed in the role, it was impossible to point at a photo and say "Hey, that's Bob Anderson in that costume! See, it's obviously him!" That's why almost nobody knows it was him. Break it down. What was he doing onscreen? Who could he have played that he could do that and you didn't know it was him? The answer is a LOT easier than you're making it.

Correct! It's amazing how much money he was being offered to be so lazy. You paid Christopher Lee to be in your movie, and he did his best even if he knew the movie was awful. (Watch the second Howling movie sometime if you don't believe me.) Someone once confronted Christopher Lee on having acted in a movie that they were confident was truly awful- as if he wrote it instead of just acting in it. "Have you seen that movie?" "No, but I've seen the porch that it paid for, and it is magnificent." Brando tried to say Kryptonians were some sort of box and that they changed Kal-El's form before sending him to Earth. All that just to keep from doing the job he agreed to and wanted to be paid to do while not doing it. Frankly, I don't get the fuss. I think they just should have ignored him and gone with other actors. Nobody is truly irreplaceable. And when Val Kilmer started doing the same thing, they should have ignored him also.

"Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you." "Once the world was new. Our bodies felt the morning dew that greets the brand-new day. We couldn't tear ourselves away."

I'm sure you'll find the answer on the sea.

False dilemma. If the ONLY two positions POSSIBLE are- the Bible can only be understood exactly as stated in twi or the Bible is completely unreliable and useless and no other positions are even possible, then it's no wonder ex-twi people often jump to the second position after leaving twi. If they think those are the only 2 possibilities, and they saw the first one failed, then they'd think the answer could only be the second one. I was raised Roman Catholic. I came to the conclusion that Roman Catholicism lacked the answers I needed. (I still think that based on the answers I needed then.) Having been brought up to think the Roman Catholic Church was the be-all and end-all of Christianity, I concluded that, if the RCC didn't have my answers, no other Christians would, either. It's the same sort of thinking that moves some ex-twi to abandon Christianity. If they think ONLY twi had answers, and saw how deficient twi was, then that conclusion is to be expected. I suspect clinging too dogmatically to ANY denomination, group, etc would produce the same result eventually, but groups like twi set one up for an epic head-on crash with reality.

"Why is there always somebody that brings eggs and tomatoes to a speech?" "I could really get into this mayor stuff.

"It's true I was their number one son... but they treated me like number two."

Ok, I'll give you the first part, but now I want the rest. "The man who taught Hollywood to fence" was swordmaster BOB ANDERSON. He appeared onscreen in two movies actually doing what he does best. No, you didn't know it was him at the time. Who did he play?

There's a story that goes around about this movie. During its filming, one of the actors claimed he shouldn't appear onscreen and that his character should appear nothing like a human- which is why the actor shouldn't appear onscreen. He claimed the appearance of the title character should be something that was altered to the form seen in the movie. When the top guys insisted, he said he just wanted to see how seriously committed they were to the current version. In all likelihood, all of that was a lie. He wanted to get paid for as little work as possible, including not appearing onscreen. In the final product, he never bothered to learn his lines.

"Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you." Heard this on the radio the other day, if you can believe it.

Fun video. Al at the stage at Arnold's introducing Kenosha's own "Weezer", with dancing in a reconstructed Arnold's interspersed with clips from "Happy Days." I remember showing it to someone and them thinking Weezer had used a single episode. I pointed out how Ritchie's clothes kept changing every few seconds. I like how the included a clip from Fonzie at the dance-athon.

"BUDDY HOLLY". (By Weezer.)

I'd go with that. I'd consider the greatest secret NOT in the world today to be the date and time of Jesus Christ's return.

Miles Davis, cool blues musician.... black. Basher Tarr... unmistakably a British-sounding name.... who could play a black British guy and Miles Davis convincingly..... BT sounds like he might be the character from Oceans something, with the Cockney rhyming slang... The actor replaced Terrence Howard as Rhodey... my guess is DON CHEADLE.

"?" *punches George's upper lip*

IIRC, the only reason we know he was in that role was one actor he trained and worked alongside mentioned it in interviews. IMDb doesn't list it, but at least one wiki does- and notes he also briefly appeared as an additional character onscreen and can be recognized (for some value of "recognized", since I'm sure his family could pick him out.) Oh, and Raf mentioned another trilogy he worked on, that I was unaware he'd worked on it until a few minutes ago.

*thinks a lot* Wait, Jody Foster was in this? Um, "Sommersby"? I know Richard Gere was in that, and I THINK she was, as well.

I can't name the artist. This song was in rotation when NY had an all-love-song station, and showed up in their TV commercials (and 1 commercial when a different station mocked that station and a few others.) I think the song is called "Making Love Out of Nothing At All."
