When this movie came out, everyone told me "It really makes you think." That is the LAST thing I want in a movie, so I haven't seen it. Action? Yes. Comedy? Yes. Sex? Yes. But "thinking"? No. This is Chrissy Metz's (whoever THAT is) fifth saddest movie of all time. For her role in this film, the star became the one and only Best Actress Oscar winner to produce and direct a Best Picture nominated film. (Taken from IMDb, this statement is awkwardly phrased. The actress won Best Actress for a different film. Though nominated for several, including Best Picture, this movie garnered no Oscars.) One of the main characters is a world class violinist. The actor portraying him did not play violin but watched two professionals perform the piece he would play in the film. Then he "finger-synched" the piece almost perfectly. A week after this movie opened wide in North America on Christmas of 1991, the star phoned a Columbia Pictures executive at 7:00 A.M. New Year's Day demanding that a hedge on Sunset Blvd needed trimming. It wasn't blocking the film title but obscuring her "Directed by" credit on the billboard. Chris O'Donnell, who would soon become a star in Scent of a Woman, won the role of the star's teenage son, Bernard, but Pat Conroy didn't think he was right. Looking through photos of other young actors, he picked one out, telling the star that she should hire him instead. The actor was the star's own son. George

Not Randy Quaid. More famous. George

I believe the sequel also had both. But the first one did, for certain, George

I can only think of two movies with Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate... George

Green Lantern Mark Strong Kingsman: The Secret Service George

I thought I added some names. This (famous) actor is easy to recognize from the movies he appeared in, but not necessarily from his roles in those films. OK, then. Chip Diller Timothy Fenwick, Jr. Ren McCormack Jack Casey Jake Briggs Valentine McKee David Labraccio Willie O'Keefe Capt. Jack Ross George

So, I watched it (in several sections). What an odd and abrupt ending. Why did Judy fall out the window? Even if the nun startled her, why was she by the open window in the first place? She was afraid of Scottie; I'd expect her to be cowering in a corner. And we never know what happens to Scottie. Is he brought up on charges, this time? What happens in the European version? Does Judy not fall, and is Gavin Elster arrested? George (Back to the current thread in a minute...)

Actually, I DO know. I Got You Babe "Left a good job in the city..." George

It's interesting that you say marathoners have this IN their feet, not ON their feet. Sounds like "pain," which could also be hard to describe if it didn't exist. But that has nothing to do with American Presidents or basketball's GOAT. George

I'm not sure it's tougher, technically, because my recognition of either is zero. George

"Vertigo" is showing tonight on Turner Classic Movies (TCM). I'm recording it. George

It would appear not. George

Gimme a minute. George

Fine with me. George

Correct, old chum! The exchange was used when the Dynamic Duo fired up the Batmobile. George

There were no marionettes in this show. I presume this was directed at WW. If he doesn't get it, he'll kill himself when it's revealed. George

Do the Right Thing (?) George

"Atomic batteries to power; turbines to speed!" "Ready to move out!" George

Raf and I are obviously thinking Hitchcock. Funny thing: the only Hitchcock film I've seen in its entirety is "Rear Window," and this clearly isn't it. Wild guess: Vertigo? George

Correct. George

This one confuses me. The first clue implies a person as the answer, but "What am I?" seems to imply otherwise. Teddy Roosevelt became president when McKinley was assassinated, but any president after him would also fit the first clue. On the other hand, no president was a basketball star. I think I've heard of Bill Withers, but I don't know any of his songs. From the Olympics clues, I'm tempted to guess "running shoes." George

Babe (?) George

"The Birds" ? George
