  1. I feel like it's Amazon Women on Traxx, or some other movie that these threads have brought to life on repeated occasions.

    Hey, it's Bret! Hi, Bret!
  3. One of the characters is known by a nickname because he is Irish. In the movie, he's played by a Black man. The explanation for the nickname was not changed, but was played for laughs.
  4. The title of the movie is only half the title of the source material. The makers of the movie didn't want actresses auditioning for a biopic, especially considering none of the leading roles are women [not to mention it's a work of fiction. Not science fiction. Not horror. Just dramatic fiction].
  5. The song is about a guy and his girlfriend getting hot and heavy in his car. The baseball announcer's calls are supposed to be a metaphor for how close the guy is getting to... score.
  6. STOP RIGHT THERE!!!!!! Paradise by the Dashboard Light, by Meat Loaf. You guys really need to brush up on your Jim Steinman.
  7. Kevin Costner Dances With Wolves Wes Studi
  8. The author of the source story for this movie was paid $5,000 for the rights. He never cashed it. He had it framed and sent it to the director with the note: "In case you ever need bail money." Both author and director are doing fine. Nominated for seven Oscars. Won none. Flopped at the Box Office but now considered a classic. The co-star took care of the narration. Of course he did. [Notably, this was his first time].
  9. Sounds like 21 Jump Street and Jonah Hill
  10. 21 Jump Street Johnny Depp Benny & Joon
  11. Typically, if the other players are stumped, you either provide a clue to a different movie OR declare free post, giving other players a chance to jump in and continue the game. THIS GOES FOR ALL GAME THREADS
  12. Death Becomes Her Meryl Streep Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again
  13. I think you could post the entire script along with the name of the movie and we still wouldn't get it
  14. Proving a negative is a little more xhallenging than affirming a known fact. Does anyone have any evidence aside from DWBH's non-credible claim that DWBH's father was a linguist fluent in 13 languages? Because... hand me my megaphone: I AM CALLING OUT HIS SIT STORY AS A BULLS HIT LIE. Linguist my ass. Prove. Your. Claim.
  15. I am also having trouble finding any professional or academic publications authored by any linguist with the name Dubofsky. Linguistics is a publish-or-perish field, so it would be unusual for someone in that profession to have no publications to his name. Of course, that does not mean my search was exhaustive. But so far, nil.
  16. Ok, did a little homework. There was no professor of linguistics named Dubofsky at CCNY. School's archives have no record of him.
