  1. Significantly, there's a signed photo of Berenger in this role in the bar of the Menger Hotel in San Antonio. Tom Berenger Paul Giamatti Richard Dreyfuss Brian Keith Robin Williams Robert Vaughn Edward G. Robinson Jake Busey Aidan Quinn George
  2. I honestly don't know WHEN it was first used, though it probably preceded the Titanic. I'm really asking about the origin of the term. George
  3. Fascinating choice, but wrong. If I were to say whom I would expect in this role, it would be Berenger or Keith. Tom Berenger Paul Giamatti Richard Dreyfuss Brian Keith Robin Williams Robert Vaughn Edward G. Robinson Jake Busey Aidan Quinn George
  4. Tom Berenger Paul Giamatti Richard Dreyfuss Brian Keith Robin Williams Robert Vaughn George
  5. "If I am wrong, I'm insane... but if I'm right, it's even worse than if I was wrong." "I'll just die if I don't get this recipe. I'll just die if I don't get this recipe. I'll just die if I don't get this recipe." George
  6. Hugh Jackman The Greatest Showman Zendaya George
  7. Play That Funky Music "We're caught in a trap. I can't walk out." George
  8. Yeah. Though there's a whole bunch that WAS allowable back then which probably couldn't get by today. You're up. George
  9. A new show on CBS (or Paramount, if you prefer), "Elsbeth." Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) is a Chicago lawyer given a "consent decree" to follow police in a certain New York precinct, because the precinct has had a reputation for crossing the lines. She winds up solving all the murders, of course, showing up the actual detectives. Picture Columbo as a soccer mom. As in Columbo, we all see the murder, so we know whodunnit; the fun is watching Elsbeth figure it out. There is a side arc, in that the captain of the precinct may or may not be dirty. (I'm hoping, not.) George
  10. "Is it twue how I've heard your people awe -- gifted? It's twue! It's TWUE!" George
  11. I know they were together for a long time. I just can't think of many movies with both of them in them. George
  12. Tom Berenger Paul Giamatti Richard Dreyfuss George
  13. I Am a Rock "Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floating; Old Mississippi, she's calling my name," George
  14. I can only think of Mr and Mrs Bridge, but I'm sure there were others. Three, total? George
  15. Verad Dax, actually. Deep Space 9 used to show here every morning. I suppose Lionel Luthor would have been one of the "obvious" roles. George
  16. No. Older actress. Little Women Spitfire Sylvia Scarlett Mary of Scotland Bringing Up Baby The Philadelphia Story Woman of the Year Adam's Rib Pat and Mike George
  17. 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.
