42

[GeorgeStGeorge]

So, this movie is....?

George

[WordWolf]

Obviously one I've never heard of.    Even if I had multiple choice, I don't think I'd get it.

"Equinox 42" or "Summer 42" or something like that (depending on where you are when Summer hits.)

[GeorgeStGeorge]

So close, I'll give it to you (especially since no one else is trying).

"Summer OF '42."  Based on the award-winning novel.  Three teen-agers dealing with their hormones.  One of them develops an attachment for a war bride living nearby (O'Neill).  I enjoyed the book and the movie.  Won the Oscar for best musical score.  You'd probably recognize the theme.

I'm almost surprised that worked.   BTW, for those who forget, the seasons are mirrored in the hemispheres, so the Southern Hemisphere has Winter in July and Summer in January, and so on.

(I just quoted this movie to Wordpup a day or so ago.)

 

"Why is that toy on your head?"  "Because if I wear it any place else, it chafes."

 

"Kent put his name on his license plate."  "My mother does that to my underwear."  "Your mother puts license plates in your underwear? How do you sit?"

Correct, just to make it official.

[WordWolf]

So, it's George's turn.

"One man is born a hero, his brother a coward. Babies starve, politicians grow fat. Holy men are martyred, and junkies grow legion. Why? Why, why, why, why, why? Luck! Blind, stupid, simple, doo-dah, clueless luck!"

 

"Your entrance was good. His was better. The difference: showmanship!"

 

"Stickley's suicide was obviously a computer-generated forgery."

"You really are quite bright, despite what people say."

I think I have it narrowed down to a franchise.

The movies do seem rather interchangeable.

George

[WordWolf]

Does that mean if I guess one film in the franchise, it will count as correct?

[Raf]

It would probably take an eternity to figure out which franchise movie it is. 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

The second quote would have given it to me, but some people would go for the THIRD.

George

[WordWolf]

Right, so that makes this "Batman Fever."

 

 

(That's what David Letterman called "Batman Forever.")

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Batman Forever is correct.

"Nuuuuuuude women. Nuuuuuuuude women. Cloooooowns welcome. Cloooooooowns welcome. Nuuuuuude women. Clooooooowns welcome."

[WordWolf]

"Nuuuuuuude women. Nuuuuuuuude women. Cloooooowns welcome. Cloooooooowns welcome. Nuuuuuude women. Clooooooowns welcome."

"Man, it's bad luck just SEEIN' a thing like that."

[Raf]

Let me know if you need the rest of the script, since I have it nearly memorized.

 

Dubuque?

Des Moines.

[WordWolf]

"Nuuuuuuude women. Nuuuuuuuude women. Cloooooowns welcome. Cloooooooowns welcome. Nuuuuuude women. Clooooooowns welcome."

"Man, it's bad luck just SEEIN' a thing like that." 

 

"Dubuque?"    "Des Moines."

 

"Does the clown work for Lombino?"

 

"THOSE are what the people will remember. Who will remember a clown stealing a million dollars?" "............."   "Jesus, we gotta catch this guy!"

 

 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

No idea.

(Doesn't sound like Highlander or a Muppet movie...)

Most obviously.

Probably the only movie where a clown steals a million dollars.
