  1. If it's your turn and you're posting the quotes, then it is expected you will go to imdb.com or wikiquote and find more quotes from the movie. Unless you're playing it and pausing it, it's the best way to get quotes. Mind you, if you are GUESSING, it is NOT allowed to look up anything unless you're willing to disqualify yourself for the round. (You are impatient and just HAVE to look it up.) So, if you're stuck for quotes to post, you know where to look.
  2. Ok, so Weezer's not your speed. The video of the song might interest you- it's how I recognized the line quickly. ("Buddy Holly" by Weezer.) In this case, you should recognize the song. Certainly you'll recognize the band. And probably the album. (I forget what albums included many songs.)
  3. It certainly never seems affected by something.
  4. Freaking YES! In TESB and RotJ, during Vader's duels, Bob A was often the man in the Vader suit. They changed camera angles to hide that he was shorter than Prowse. Mark Hamill took lessons from Bob A and mentioned that Bob was Vader during the duels. He also said he wished they could have come up with an over-the-head Hamill mask for someone to wear, but that wouldn't work. For the curious, we got something like that for Christopher Lee in RotS. In the acrobatic moments, that wasn't CL jumping around at his age. That was his stunt double, and post-production swapped their heads so it looked like CL did the flips. Personally, I'd wished they'd have slimmed CL down as well, as Jedi and Sith can control their bodies and wouldn't have a need to be overweight. (CL was a lardbucket but could stand to lose a few pounds, and the Dooku outfit showed it in a way Saruman's robes did not.)

  7. Correct, just to make it official.
  8. In have trouble remembering any scene in any Star Wars movie (comic book, novel, cartoon...) where Chewbacca used any kind of sword. Seriously, what would be the sense in putting "HOLLYWOOD'S FENCING INSTRUCTOR" in a Chewbacca suit? In other words, seriously NO, not Chewbacca. If there was an expert that taught Hollywood to use a crossbow or something, maybe he would wear the furry outfit.
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. "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?"
  12. Personally, I think I liked the first quote best. Let's see what else I can get...
  13. 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!
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. "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."
  17. I'm sure you'll find the answer on the sea.

  20. 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.
  21. "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."
  22. 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?
