"Michael's going to be a Lawyer of Tomorrow!" "Oh? Well, welcome to the slammer of today!" "Water? She ain't drinkin' nothin' but the best from now on... Kool-Aid!" "DY- NO- MITE!"

I just checked Imdb. They have Steve Carell listed, Fred Willard, Seth Rogen, Ben Stiller, Kathryn Hahn, Will Ferrell, Danny Trejo, and Christina Applegate, but NOT Harrison Ford nor Kristen Wiig. How confident are you that they were in this movie? *checks* Those two were in the sequel, apparently, but Ben Stiller and Danny Trejo weren't at the least.

I have no idea what movie this is. That comment about a star so narcissistic she (we know it's a she) made that phone call makes me think of Barbra Streisand. She has to have an ego big enough to inspire the Streisand Effect, and be big enough she had the phone# of the executive...and maybe to think someone wouldn't just hang up on her with that phone call. If not Streisand, some woman with as big an ego, and that narrows the possibilities considerably. So, I'm thinking Streisand. But that's all I've got. Oh- if I'm right, and Raf came to the same conclusion, then he's thinking it's not "Yentl", and I agree it's not that film.

Hey, wait, I know this one! the Princess Diaries Hector Elizondo Beverly Hills Cop 3

1) oldiesman started the thread, and had the opening post. You can tell it wasn't me, because it was heavy on the AI content. 2) If, for some reason, someone thinks me and oldies are the same person, we're not. There's still a few people who've met us both (like Raf) and there was a time on this board, long ago, where we tended to be diametrically opposed on many threads, almost to the point of a fist fight. (Had we been in a bar or something, I was sure at least once it would have escalated to the alley outside.) We still disagree on quite a bit, but not to that degree. 3) Actually addressing the question, Although not an official Harvest Festival, I think that the State Fair or County Fair practiced in a number of places acts as a de facto Harvest Festival. The traditional events include judging produce (like pumpkins) and livestock (like hogs) and contests like pie eating and so on. I know the one in Texas, at least, is in early October- possibly to avoid conflicting with Thanksgiving, and with Halloween. But for a place not dependent upon a harvest, it's pretty close to a harvest time. If it's a coincidence, it's an interesting one.

For those of you not US citizens, happy Thursday.

In the European version, they add a brief scene after what you saw. Scotty and his ex are back together, and on the radio is an announcement that the husband was arrested after a manhunt. Opinions differ on the fall. To me, it seems obvious that Judy felt very guilty, and she saw a shadowy figure approaching her, and her guilty conscience said it was someone or someTHING come to get her and punish her for her misdeeds. She panicked and turned to run. Since she was where she was, there was a chance to turn and take one step before she sailed out into the air...and, being heavier than air, to fall from the tower. Scotty had brought Judy up to the tower because he wanted to confront her with the truth, and prove he understood- too late- what had happened. She was trying to talk her way out of this (out of guilt, etc) when they were interrupted. A lot of people, if fleeing, will not allow themselves to be backed into a corner, they will keep heading for empty space and away from a corner. Scottie wasn't brought up on charges because he didn't commit a crime- except, perhaps, trespassing.

Eh, Randy Quaid?????? I'm trying to remember somebody "Lauter". but he's not famous (as if Randy Quaid is...)

I only know one- "Anchorman..."

Ladies and gentlemen, the triumphant return of THE!

"I've just had an apostrophe." "You mean an epiphany." "Lightning has just struck my brain." "That must hurt."

Richie in his first recording session- recording "Come On, Let's Go," exactly the same, for take after take. By the end, the audience sympathized with Bob, who fell asleep in the middle and only woke up when the music stopped. We didn't hear a difference either. BTW, did anyone besides Raf catch my reference to the infamous coin toss?

She really backed the wrong horse there. She was Richie's girlfriend, then went for his brother Bob, who had the motorcycle and flash. Then Richie, a stable guy, became a star, and she was with Bob, who was neither faithful nor sober, often.

Richie's mom convinced a bar owner to have Richie do a performance there. Richie's brother Bob thought rock was lost on the bar regulars. Richie apparently agreed upon reflection, since he changed his playlist, and switched to more Country/Western sounding songs.
