The movie stars Samuel L. Jackson and The Rock, who are not the stars of this movie.

Did Talk-To-Text fail you on that one? because if it did, yeah, that would be another quote from the same movie. To which I would respond, "Hit him back!" If it's not a talk to text fail, then no, the movie has nothing to do with a chemistry teacher.

Two very well known actors play, what else, badass cops who are willing to do anything to catch the bad guys. They are the best cops in their department, and everyone knows it. They get on the boss' nerve, but he knows he can count on them. They are awesome. They die very quickly. With them out of the way, solving the crime at the heart of the film is up to ... [the title]. *** In one scene, the cops that the movie is actually about go into the boss's office. The District Attorney is in there with the boss. You might recognize him. He played the District Attorney in Dirty Harry. ***

One of my all time favorites: "We have a few special years with our children, when they're the ones that want us around. After that you're going to be running after them for a bit of attention. It's so fast Peter. It's a few years, and it's over. And you are not being careful. And you are missing it." *** "When are you gonna stop acting like a child." "I am a child." "Grow up."

oh, yeah. i was kidding. sorry. my turn.

Ever run to the bathroom and get there at the last possible moment? It wasn't. You probably could have waited at least another minute or two. Otherwise, you'd have a lot more stories about not making it in time.

Actual commercial: Do not take pharmaceutical product x if you are allergic to pharmaceutical product x or the ingredients in pharmaceutical product x. How would i even KNOW if i were allergic? Is this advice someone needs?

I've heard that. So is Coulson/Colson the name change? The product placement wasn't the giveaway. The lead actor who turned his life around was. What was the product?

Uh... no. I think you responded to my first post and ignored the second one.

The first two clues mean nothing to me. The fourth: That's Clark Gregg as "Agent." Ok, let's call him... Agent Phil Coulson. Or is it Colson? (Is he the one whose spelling changed in the third clue?) The two hour man I'm guessing is Paul Bettany as J.A.R.V.I.S. Important prop: an Iron Man suit. Product placement? no idea. BUT, the lead actor who needed his life turned around? I was thinking either Charlie Sheen or Robert Downey Jr, and Downey made more sense. So yeah, Iron Man changed a lot for the studio, the comic book co. and all moviegoers

Ok. So it's a movie where the lead actor is someone who's had a troubled life. That actually made me think of someone immediately. And it fits a good number of the other clues. An actor (not the lead) goes from unnamed to named because of his chemistry with the rest of the cast... check. An actor who spends two hours working, doesn't even know what movie he's working on? That sounds like someone who didn't meet the rest of the cast because he... didn't actually appear onscreen with any of them. Like John Forsythe in Charlie's Angels. So. A voice... check. Changed a lot for the studio, its parent company... and movie-going? check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check... with many more pending. Modified Boeing... ok, stumped. A prop that weighs 90 pounds? What is it made of, lead? I think I got it. Not sure about the spelling trivia, the plane, the martini, what product was placed. I'm going to go with: Sherlock Holmes!

Right? It's like, "With all due respect" always comes RIGHT before a devastatingly disrespectful insult.

I can start a thread called "The" and it will spark 40,000 posts over four threads in two forums. But actually CALL IT Random Thoughts, and everyone is stuck on the point made in the opening post.

Don't even pretend to use these quotes in a game where I'm a participant. Pick something else. "They're no good! There's not a one of 'em who is any good! I mean, what's happening in here? I'm speaking my piece, and you... Listen to me. We're... This kid on trial here... his type, well, don't you know about them? There's a, there's a danger here. These people are dangerous. They're wild. Listen to me. Listen." "I have. Now sit down and don't open your mouth again." I still literally cry when I even THINK of this scene. 12 Angry Men

And that is the correct movie. Our generation may have seen it. The generation midway and directly after us, probably not. Our grandkids: Almost certainly did not. Zip-e-dee-doo-dah was the song I had in mind. And the long line is right before you get into and off of Splash Mountain at DisneyWorld or DisneyLand. Bre'er Rabbit would be proud.

yes

guys, "random thoughts." you were suppposed to chuckle and move on. Why is it when you see a late night cable movie, it says it's intended for mature audiences? bull! it's intended for IMMATURE audiences! "Masterpiece Theater" is intended for mature audiences!

How about that. Ok, so this movie was released several times, most recently in 1986. Maybe you've seen it? If you have kids, there's a lesser chance they've seen it. If your KIDS have kids, there's minimal chance your grandkids have seen it. But you know the main line of one song, more likely than not. I wouldn't say it's a tale as old as time. Maybe 160 years or so, give or take. The lead actor received praise for his performance. Ironically, the lead character is one of the reasons your kids probably haven't seen it and your grandkids almost certainly have not. That's not to say they haven't been exposed to the story. Just not in a movie. They night have encountered the characters, setting and music at the end of a very long line.

Nope. Unless it's Love and Death, one of those Woody Allen movies I only know by title and have never heard anything about. Is it Love and Death?

No politics, please. At age 18 you are old enough to enlist to fight and possibly lay your life down for your country. You are trusted to use your judgement to elect the leaders of your city, your state and the free world. You need no one's permission to move into a new home or get married. But you can't order a beer. WTF?

True, but you still offer no explanation of why God punished actual snakes because of what Satan did. (Hint: it's not Satan in the original story: that's a retcon. The original story is a fictional myth, and it's talking about a literal snake responsible for snakes now having to slither and eat "dust," which snakes don't do). "to each their own:" thank you. That is gracious. It doesn't address the issues of this thread but it does address me in a way that is respectful. Demons, by the way, don't exist. They don't look reptilian, human or anything else. But okay, if you want wild ass guesses... they actually look like toenails.

Nope. WW, just give the answer so we can move on.

Bobbo??? You are up

and your husband wants to be a girl
