  1. I just saw the title of this thread and thought that it would be interesting to see what DLM has been up to. I only looked at the last page. When did this dkarateka guy hijack the thread? George

  3. Still not getting the right acting duo. The two principal stars of this film appeared in 10 movies together. This was the sixth, the first after 10 years. The sequel was another. At the end of the theatrical trailer, there is an outtake of one of the stars in the bath tub saying directly into the camera "If I'd known there was going to be a nude scene, I would've asked for an extra million." The crew found this so hilarious, they ended up using it as a post credits scene. My favorite line: "Then one day you wake up and you realize that you're not 81 any more." During a scene where two of the characters are walking through the ice fishing shacks, you can see a signpost like the one in M*A*S*H (1972) had in the center of camp pointing out distances to member's home towns. The one in this movie (1993) shows "Kenosha, WI 250 miles," "Fair Banks, AK 3130 miles," and "Rosies, Seoul 6750 miles." This is an homage to the TV show M*A*S*H (1972), which lists this in its trivia: "Rosie's Bar" was inspired by a real bar in Seoul called "Rose's Bar." Located just outside Camp Mosier in Seoul, Rose's Bar was located in an area which had a thriving night life catering primarily to U.S. military personnel. After the war, this section of Seoul turned into a residential area, but Rose's bar continued to exist till 1971 when it was brought down to build small apartments. According to the AFI website, the movie was originally supposed to be released in February 1994. However Warner Bros. had such a successful year at the box office in 1993 that they wanted to have their profits maximized before the year came to a close so they bumped up the release to Christmas Day, 1993, and by February 4, 1994 the original planned release date the film had grossed $54 million domestically before closing with a final domestic gross of $70 million. Although Christmas 1993 was a busy movie season this movie managed to out-gross three sequels to popular movies all released in December 1993 including Wayne's World 2 (1993), Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993) and Beethoven's 2nd (1993) which surprised all in the movie industry because it was predicted at the time to those films would all perform better.

  9. Everybody knows that Alaska and Hawaii were the 49th and 50th states admitted to the Union. What were the 47th and 48th? (OK if you get them out of order.) George
  10. The first time I saw the acronym SNAFU was in a Wonder Woman comic; it was expanded as "Situation Normal, All FOULED Up." A few years later, some fraternity brothers were helping me with a computer program and suggested SNAFU as a label. When I told them what I thought it meant, they sort of grinned and said, I guess it COULD mean that! Sharp cookie that I was, I immediately knew the R-rated version. The "Beyond All Recognition" version was introduced to me later. New one soon. George
