it looks stupid. Hope I'm wrong.

Calling Mr. Saturday Night a Shadoe Stevens movie is like calling Harry Potter a John Cleese movie.

After Sharon posted the answer, I looked it up on imdb.

Yoda knocking out the red guards didn't make the audience laugh? Tough room. Oh, and I am among those who think the writing in the original trilogy wasn't nearly as bad as the writing in the new trilogy. Yeah, it got no better after the first line of the first movie. But it did get substantially worse in episodes II and III.

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering (including George), my posts on this subject are all in good fun. And no, I have never seen the movie.

Let's put a little context in here: The object of "Name that Flick": You post a quote, and someone is supposed to guess which movie it's from. George posted a quote from Traxx. TRAXX! No one in the history of going to the movies has ever bought a ticket to see Traxx, as it was never shown in theaters. Then I posted a quote from Predator 2, and I got ripped for it. So, here's my challenge: I'll find five people who have seen Predator 2 and can tell me what happened. I'll see you in a day. You find five people who have seen Traxx and can tell us what happened. I'll see you in 150 years. The people who MADE Traxx haven't seen it.

Yeah!

Mr. Saturday Night

In the Phantom Menace, it's stated that Anakin had no father. The subject is then dropped... until Revenge of the Sith, in which Palpatine tells Anakin that he knew of a Sith lord who could manipulate the midichlorians to the point where he could create life. We're supposed to make the leap that this is how Anakin was conceived. WordWolf had come up with an alternate theory before this movie came out.

Let's find five independent people to prove your case. Oh, darn, you can't find five people who've seen Traxx, can you?

Predator 2 made $30 million at the box office in 1990. The box office receipts for Traxx? Oh, that's right, not a single person in the history of movies paid for a ticket to see Traxx.

Everyone here, raise your hand if you saw Predator 2. Ok, now, everyone here, raise your hands if you have ever seen Shadoe Stevens outside of Hollywood Squares. Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Frye?

I was recently corrected about the mistake of Obi Wan calling him the Emperor. The moment before he does that, he sees a hologram of Palpatine telling Vader to bring peace to the Empire. Considering that the Jedi have become suspicious of Palpatine by that point, it isn't as much of a stretch as it originally seemed to call him "Emperor." I missed Mon Mothma. I thought the duel between Grievous and Obi Wan was supposed to look awesome but, in the end, just looked silly. What saved it was McGregor clearly having a field day. The whirring lightsabers didn't impress me. I thought it just looked stupid. But hey, that's me.

"And that scares the sh-- out of me, kid. No one requests to come down here unless they're looking for a reputation and there's no room for showboats or anyone looking to prove himself. Now, I won't stand for it. Now don't get me wrong, we need good cops down here and they say you're good at what you do. But the team comes first. You live by that and you'll be okay, and we'll all be there for you. Remember, the door swings both ways. That's it."

I sat there and thought: whoever said this had to be really dumb. Hey! Okay, next clue: "Hey, kid. Welcome to the war."

Mystic River I'll come up with another one...

I think you meant "burp." It's easy to confuse the two.

Dumb and Dumber?

Closer Natalie Portman The Professional (aka Leon)

See this movie Don't mistake it for a cheesy stupid 1990s movie with the same title. This one is in theaters now, and deserves every dime it can make. It's directed by the guy who wrote Million Dollar Baby.

Indeed. I thought I'd pick some of the better but lesser known quotes from that brilliant movie.

Extra clue: They don't have meetings about rainbows.

Chill Wills? What was he in, Traxx?

The two posts mean: sharon knows the movie but is holding back because she wants other people to have fun (the same way I did when I told her to give a clue people can't refuse). I'm just saying, pthpthpthpthpthpthpth! to her. :)--> The question remains open.

Potential terrorists weren't the only ones shocked at the pictures of Saddam Hussein in his underwear.
