  1. Since there's just no question I'm right, let's change genres and gimmicks... This sequel was so unnecessary, it's subtitle became a nickname for all unnecessary sequels. In an homage to Fred Astaire, one of the dancers in this movie climbs on a wall, dances on a ceiling and comes down the other wall before returning to the floor. This is accomplished with a rotating room borrowed from one of the Nightmare on Elm Street sets. Freddy Krueger's glove can be spotted if you watch closely enough, but then you would have to watch the movie. Roger Ebert gave this a thumbs up, saying it reminded him of the Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland "let's put on a show" flicks. It's not that good.
  2. It's like, "I'll take 3-D movies of the 1980s" for $1,000, Alex.
  3. I take exception to this. Those of us who believe there's nothing after this life have EVERY reason to live. What we lack is a reason to DIE. By which I mean, we can understand the value of sacrifice as well as the next patriot (there ARE, in fact, atheists in foxholes), but we understand that sacrifice as being for other people, not for reward.
  4. Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. Sorry, if no one knew from the first clue set, no one was going to know
  5. Wrong answer, George! In Friday the 13th, the killer was Mrs. Vorhees, Jason's mother. Jason didn't show up as an adult until the sequel. He showed up still a child in the final scene of the original. In Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th Part Ii, he's just an evil killer. In part iii (which was in 3-d, hence the significance of the yo-yo, juggling and paddleball on a string), Jason puts on the hockey mask for the first time. His name is not mentioned in Part III by anyone. This movie was a loose inspiration for Weird Al's "Nature Trail to Hell" song, which contained the lyric (and album title) In 3-D! The original series went until Jason X (the 10th installment), unless you include Freddy v. Jason, and there was a remake about which I know Jack
  6. Two movies preceded this one. How many followed... depends on how you count. With the same continuity, at least seven. Maybe eight. Then there was the remake. But now we're just getting silly.
  7. You had me at Chauncey St., my boy.
  8. He played: K-2SO, Duke Weasleton, The Duke of Weselton, and Hoban Washburne
  9. I kept my mouth shut, but Amanda Dell from Let's Make Love. In Scream 2, by the way SPOILER ALERT, Laurie Metcalf does indeed play Debbie Salt, but she is later revealed to be "Mrs. Loomis." AKA "BILLY's .... MOTHER!!!!!"
  10. That was not a bad guess, but Lou Ferrigno was in the credits and, rather obviously, did appear on screen. One of the major stars of this show never appeared on screen. To me, that narrows it down to two series, and it't not Charlie's Angels. So think. What show has a star who's not in the credits and not seen? The stuff with the ex-wife is interesting, but it's not gonna help you because WGAF (who gives a rat's patootie)
  11. Halloween II takes place the same night as Halloween, so no. Plus, all Michael Meyers' distinguishing features from Part II were present in Part I.
  12. Just saw it recently and recognized the Matt Damon cameo. New clue: This movie is itself a sequel. The main character has a distinguishing feature, but it's not one he had in the original installment. He picked it up in this movie. The main character has no lines. His name is never mentioned. In the original installment, the main character was much discussed, but only made one brief appearance, and then only as a child. The actors spent an unusual amount of time (considering the lack of importance to the plot) learning to do things like juggle, play with a paddleball on a rubber band string, and use a yo-yo. This installment takes place a day after the previous installment. Kinda sorta inspired a Weird Al song (comic, but not a parody) and album title (the song and album don't have the same title, but the album tile is a repeated lyric in the song).
  13. The two stars of this live action series did not meet until after the first season had already been filmed. The lead actor's ex-wife appeared in several episodes. She later remarried: her new husband had the same first and last name as the character her ex-husband played in this series. The secondary lead actor appears nowhere in the credits. He also appears only once in the series in a brief cameo, not as his character.
  14. That was a fake name. Hence, spoiler alert.
  15. My apologies: I thought this was movie mashup, but it's name that flick. With that in mind, I'll go with the quote WW referred to because he obviously knows this movie: "They *always* got food with them. We eat to live - these guys live to eat! Let me show you what I'm talking about! The human mouth is called a 'piehole', the human being is called a 'couch potato'. *That* is a device to summon food. That is one of the many voices of food. *That* is the portal for the passing of food. *That* is one of the many food transportation vehicles. Humans bring the food, take the food, ship the food, they drive food, they wear the food! *That* gets the food hot! *That* keeps the food cold! *That*... I'm not sure what that is... Well, what do you know? FOOD! *That* is the altar where they WORSHIP food! That's what they eat when they've eaten TOO MUCH food! *That* gets rid of the guilt so they can eat MORE FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! FOOOOOD! So, you think they have enough? Well, they don't. For humans, enough is *never* enough! And what do they do with the stuff they don't eat? They put it in gleaming silver cans, just for us! Dig in!"
  16. I thought ROse Loomis might have been the name of her character in Scream 2. (Spoiler alert)
  17. Should have mentioned: This was animated.
  18. I suppose Annie technically qualifies too. So, no, the title refers to a thing.
  19. Not a lot of movies based on comic strips. This is one. There is no title "character", per se, but one character suggests referring to the title ... object as "Steve." The character is played by an actor named Steve. There's a popular brand of potato chips with the slogan "no one can eat just one." It was not used in this movie. Instead, we got a combo of that slogan referring to another faux brand (that can easily be traced to a different real-life brand of chips). The fake slogan for the real brand... "enough just isn't enough."
