  1. Not just probably. Definitely. In this scene, he goes to a bar and starts shooting, to get everybody's attention. Then he says, "Good people on one side of the bar, scum on the other." Everybody goes to one side, so he says, "What? You're all scum?" So, naturally, everybody runs to the other side. "This isn't getting us anywhere. Tell you what. Everybody out, and if I see you here again, I'll kill you." Then he greets everyone as they leave: "Good night. Drive safely. I never want to see you again." Etc. I don't care what Rotten Tomatoes says. I think it's a fun movie. Robert Davi as the bad guy, with only a hint of parody. Priscilla Barnes as the mayor/love interest. Watch it. George
  2. The Lords of Flatbush The Waterboy Night Shift George
  3. When I was in grad school, a collaborator from England came to work in our lab for a few days. Wasn't it John Cleese who said that America and England were two countries separated by a common language? He'd ask me, "'Ave ya a gum bung?" After some thought, I realized he needed a rubber stopper. "'Ave ya a retort 'older?" Ah! A ring stand! And let's not forget the pronunciations: Instead of "I put some trimethylaluminum in a CAPillary tube," it was tri MEEthilealuMINium in a caPILLary. Of course, this worked the other way, as well. I made a business trip to England and decided to to use the hotel exercise room. I couldn't get the locker to open, when a local said that I needed to "give it a poundin'." Well, banging it didn't work, and I finally found out he told me to "Give it a pound (coin) in." (Put a pound coin in the slot.) George
  4. Interesting. That the principal actor would "use a voice" might imply a cartoon, but then there would be no reason for the other actor to believe he was "too old" for the part. Hmmm... George
  5. I think it's kind of cool that you still have all that stuff. I still have the books, but I think I dumped just about everything else (AC pin and photo, etc.), even a letter from VPW responding to my concerns about "Uncle Harry Day." (It reminded me of Catholic feast days for "saints.") I KNOW I got rid of all the tapes. I wish I still had the "Victors" barbershop group. Lots of good memories, especially early on. Fewer and fewer as time went on. Getting marked and avoided was probably the low point, from an emotional standpoint, but I'm much better off because of it, so -- no worries! George
  6. I don't think any of you have actually seen this film, but you might get it, anyway: George
  7. Josh Brolin Men in Black 3 Emma Thompson George
  8. I can also just use the PrtScn (Print Screen) button on my keyboard. That copies the image, which I can paste into Paint and edit. George
  9. Of that group, only Carrie Fisher was in AWOTM. It's definitely an all-star cast, but I don't recognize the film. George
  10. Did the "12 years to develop this film" include the 6 years one actor thought about it and the 4 years the other thought about it, and the extra year for the first actor, or was the total more than 20 years? George
  11. It looks a little like Edward James Olmos, so I'll try "Stand and Deliver." This looks like a classroom setting. George
  12. With essentially no fanfare whatsoever, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD starts its final season tonight. George
  13. I haen't seen the movie, so I may be WAY off here. but Slumdog Millionaire? George
  14. Alternatively, you can use Google or Yahoo and search images. If you see the image you want, it's easy to copy and paste. George
  15. THIS one I can "hear" in my head. Just not coming up with the title or artist. George
  16. Wild guess: Jefferson in Paris George
  17. As long as Raf already posted, why don't we just go with that? I don't recognize the scene. Maybe it's my computer, or maybe it's Raf's, but a couple of his posts have been dark and grainy. George
  18. I suspect that this will sit three days. George
  19. Okay, Mark Harmon (typo). Yes, Hercules. Ferrigno played him in a movie by that title in the late 80s (I think). Dwayne Johnson, about a year ago. Ryan Gosling starred in the TV show "Young Hercules." Ian Bohen played young Hercules in the Sorbo show. The others were body builders who played Hercules in the 50s and 60s. Hargitay, by the way, was Jayne Mansfield's husband and the father of Mariska Hargitay. George
  20. Yes. Though if you look at stills where he said, "You have chosen...wisely," it looks almost the same. When I was dating my (now ex-)wife, we had seen the movie together. Shortly afterward, her parents invited us to a fancy Easter brunch at The Engineer's Club in Houston. At the time, my two cars were 67 Chevelle Malibu, painted green, with the Green Lantern Emblem on the hood and license plates which said LANTRN, and a 96 Impala Super Sport. She called and left a message saying that she didn't know which car I planned to bring, but that I should "choose wisely." I did. George I suppose you SHOULD name the movie.
  21. A bit off-topic, but hysterical. George
