  1. Not Cocoon. Glad this one is working out. This should be the giveaway. One of the best dialogues ever captured on film. No consequence whatsoever, but still... "I guess I'd be delighted to have you abuse my daughter under my own roof. Would you like the room where I first violated her mother? Or would you be interested in the master bedroom? Ethel, your boy and I could sleep out back. You could do it right here on the hearth. Like that?" "You're havin' a good time, aren't you?" "Huh?" "Chelsea told me all about how you like to have a good old time with people's heads. She does too sometimes. Sometimes I can get into it and sometimes not. I think you should know I'm pretty good at recognizing crap when I hear it. You know, it's not imperative that you and I become friends. But I thought it would be nice. I'm sure you're a very fascinating person and I thought it would be fascinating getting to know you. That's obviously not an easy task. No. You just go ahead and be as 'poopy' as you want, to quote Chelsea. And I'll be as receptive and as pleasant as I can be. But I want you to bear one thing in mind while you're jerking me around, making me feel like an ....: I know precisely what you're up to. I'll take just so much of it. Okay? Now, what is the bottom line on this illicit sex question?" "Very good. That was a good speech. Bottom line, huh? You're a bottom line man. All right, here's the bottom line. Okay." "Hm?" "You seem like a nice man. Bit verbose, but nice." "Thank you." "And you're right about me. I am fascinating." "I'm sure you are." "Let's get back to talking about sex. Anything you want to know, just ask me." "No, I just... I just wanted to clear up that little question. Chelsea and I can sleep together, right?" "Sure, please do. Just don't let Ethel catch ya."

    The Cone of Irene

    Now it's headed right for North Carolina. This is why I stopped posting cone threads a few years ago.
  3. "They're a nice middle-aged couple, just like us." "If they're just like us, they're not middle-aged." "Of course they are." "Middle-aged means the middle, Ethel. Middle of life. People don't live to be 150!"
  4. Right generation of stars. Totally, totally wrong stars and genre.

    The Cone of Irene

    http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/weather/hurricane/storm-center-blog/sfl-hurricane-irene-20110822,0,6318754.story Oh my God! It's headed right for Florida! I mean Georgia! I mean South Carolina! Why do I get the feeling this thing will ultimately pose a threat to Britain?

  7. "So, I heard you turned 80 today." "Is that what you heard?" "Yeah. Man, that's really old." "You should meet my father." "Your father's still alive?" "No, but you should meet him."
  8. I see nerd people. Annie Hall

  10. If you quoted the title of this movie, I wouldn't get it.
  11. Grew up a Yankee fan and will always be happy when they win. Grew into being a Marlins fan and cannot believe the way their season fell apart this year. Looking at the landscape this year, I'll be very, VERY surprised if the Phillies do not win the World Series this year. Thoughts?

    Abbreviated countdown

    One! My second son is scheduled to be born tomorrow(April 28) (by C-section). Keep us in your prayers. Estimated time of arrival is 1:30 p.m. Eastern.
  15. I think I remember this. Eraser ?
  16. Back to our regularly scheduled program: (starting from Addams Family Values) Christopher Lloyd Back to the Future III Mary Steenburgen (totally coincidental, by the way).
  17. It's okay to use a sequel IF it attaches the actor to another actor who was not in the original. For example, if I went: Lea Thompson Back to the Future Michael J. Fox You CANNOT come back with Back to the Future II Christopher Lloyd Star Trek III Because Christopher Lloyd was IN the first Back to the Future (the logic is, with some movies/sequels, you can go back and forth between characters and actors all day). You CAN come back with Back to the Future III Mary Steenburgen Parenthood because Mary Steenburgen wasn't in Back to the Future I.

  19. Not Office Space. I guess it was too obscure. The movie is called Shattered Glass. It's about a journalist named Stephen Glass who worked at the New Republic in the 1990s. He was really popular, really well regarded. Then his editor, the respected newsman Michael Kelly, was summarily fired, replaced by Chuck Lane, who was not as well-liked by the staff. Still, Glass continued to write engaging, well-read pieces... until he wrote one that caught the attention of a competing news organization. Their investigation turned up some questions about Glass' credibility, and Lane (the oh-so-hated Lane) pursued an internal investigation that determined Glass had fabricated, in whole or in part, more than 30 stories, give or take. Glass is now a pariah in the journalism business. Hayden Christensen, best known as Darth Vader when he was made of wood instead of metal, played Glass. He was VERY good. Sorry for the lengthy delay in replies.
  20. Caddyshack Chevy Chase National Lampoon's Vacation
  21. I'm awake! Let's try another hint. It was a well-received movie, but about as popular with the general public as Traxx. Its claim to fame is that it proved an awful actor actually could act, with the right lines and the right director... The least popular guy at work destroys the career of his star employee, and others at the job end up loving him for it.
  22. Can I jump in and give Trefor time to think of something? The work of a talented creative writer wins the praise of his peers, but his less imaginative supervisor ends up being less than amused.
  23. "It's Bask-ice-ball, the greatest game ever. We invented it. It's awesome!" "Wait, 'bask-ice-ball'? Shouldn't it be 'ice-ket-ball'?" "Ice..ket..ball... That just sounds weird."
