  1. Archimedes could have named the town (and the eponymous series). George (Same show)
  2. WordWolf is correct. Superman 3 is the only Superman movie (since the 70's) where neither Zod nor Luthor was the villain. Richard Pryor plays a computer whiz blackmailed by Robert Vaughn to kill Superman. First he tries to make Kryptonite, but since he couldn't get the exact recipe, it only made Superman slovenly. Then Vaughn has him build a supercomputer (reminiscent of the "Bat-puter" of the 60's); but that doesn't do it, either (of course). Vaughn was able to blackmail Pryor because he caught Pryor getting all of the rounded fractions of cents from everyone else's paycheck put into a check for himself. This stratagem (with the appropriate reference) was used in "Office Space," as well. George
  3. "I ask you to kill Superman, and you're telling me you couldn't even do that one, simple thing." "I don't want to go to jail because there are robbers and rapers and rapers who rape robbers." "Well I hope you don't expect me to save you, 'cause I don't do that anymore." "I'm long past savin'." "Activate circuits 29 through W7 and start full-power coordinates on exterior defensive systems." "In other words, push this red button." "How did you know about that?" "You know a wise man once said, I think it was Attila the Hun, "It is not enough that I succeed, everyone else must fail."" "What will it do?" "Anything I tell it." "What will it do for me?" "For you, it will do anything you tell me to tell it to do for you." A key plot element of this movie was mentioned in "Office Space." George

  5. Sorry. I just can't think of a movie title ending in "close." George
  6. Sad, yes. I have some more obvious quotes, for later. George
  7. "You know a wise man once said, I think it was Attila the Hun, "It is not enough that I succeed, everyone else must fail."" "What will it do?" "Anything I tell it." "What will it do for me?" "For you, it will do anything you tell me to tell it to do for you." George
  8. "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"? George
  9. I'm pretty sure I know the second half, but the first isn't familiar to me. George
  10. OK, then. "Cast Away." Let's see if I can come up with another. :unsure: George
  11. Peter Sellers Being There Shirley MacLaine George
  12. I thought that was pretty easy, but here's another from the same movie: "Hey! The sheriff's a nig..." [Clock bell chimes] "What did he say?" "He said the sheriff's near." "No, gone blame it dang blammit! The sheriff is a nig..." George
  13. The only non-genius on this show was the sheriff (and maybe the owner of the diner). George
  14. I'm not sure about the other lines, but who could forget Lurch's "You rang?" in "The Addams Family" George
  15. Right. I thought it had a nice ring to it. :) George
  16. Does it help if I mention that Ahhnold's character is referred to as "Matrix"? George
  17. This one "pushes the envelope" a bit (again): Michael Myers sees people according to their characters, not their real physical appearance (before he kills them). George
