Uncle Buck Macaulay Culkin Home Alone 2- Lost in New York

Petty once said, of that song, that he'd stumbled across a riff that somehow escaped Led Zeppelin discovering it first. (Something to that effect, I don't have the exact wording.) Ok, next song. "She likes to travel around. She'll love you and she'll put you down. Now people let me put you wise- She goes out with other guys."

If the rules somewhere are truly so repugnant to someone that the feel they can't post there without clashing with the moderators or breaking them, the only sensible thing to do is to post elsewhere, and, if necessary, to make their OWN messageboard where they can A) make the rules B) deal with any repercussions if anything happens for any reason (technical, legal, etc) There is no constitutional right to post on this or any other messageboard.

My internet connection's a little wonky, but I'll give it a shot at posting. This is the great guitar riff and accompanying song. "Running Down a Dream," by Tom Petty. It was one of the hits off of "Full Moon Fever."

Just to say I asked, Tony Shaloub?

James Cameron's career possibly took off after this film. He and Gale Ann Hurd both worked on this film, other films later, and a marriage. "Space Raiders" re-used a lot of the effects (plus the score), and "Wizards of the Lost Kingdom" reused the score. There were some Jewish inside jokes. Some alien script was Hebrew, one character was "GELT", and his assistants were "URIM" and "THUMMIM." Nestor (all 5 we met) agree to fight for Akir because, as a hive mind, they are never surprised, and need to find interesting things to do. Gelt was rich, but a wanted man everywhere (for the same reason.) So, he worked for the Akir for a place he could sit down, eat decent food, and hide without having to watch his back. Space Cowboy, of Earth, was played by George Peppard. Naturally, the character smoked cigars. Robert Vaughn's "Gelt" was based on his character in "the Magnificent Seven", complete with some repeated dialogue. BTW, I would have gotten it just from the Valkyrie's quote. She had a fast, maneuverable ship. She could outfly other ships even if they were much better armed. Shooting them down, however, is a lot harder that way. George's turn!

RIGHT! In Spanish, it's sometimes known as "The Magnificent Seven in Space." Sometimes Spanish movie titles make more sense than the English, sometimes less. Sometimes they're the same or approximately the same. This movie was Roger Corman's attempt to capitalize on Star Wars' success and make a space flick, using the same strategy "The Magnificent Seven" did. Instead of turning Akira Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai" into a Western, he turned it into an SF flick.

From what we've seen, vpw never actually DENIED the Holocaust. Behind closed doors, he said Hitler had the right idea and that the US fought on the wrong side in WW2. He recommended books, and echoed books- that said the modern Jews were not the historical Jews (proven wrong since then), and that the numbers of deaths in the Holocaust were greatly exaggerated (if anything, they were UNDERstated.) I don't know if actually DENYING the Holocaust would be worse than all that, but I've never heard of him actually deny the Holocaust.

-There's a director and producer that worked on "Terminator", "Aliens", and "The Abyss". They met working on THIS film. (Not as producer nor director.) -The executive producer normally worked on lower-budget films than this, but the film zeitgeist that year suggested this setting of film might also be an automatic success if made, so he was granted a real budget for this one. -Among the extras was comedienne Kathy Griffin, in her first acting role as anything in a film. -A number of the special effects made for this movie were later reused in a low-budget film, as was the score (in that and in ANOTHER low-budget film.) -One character's assistants are named "Urim" and "Thummim". -John Saxon -Sybil Danning -Sam Jaffe -Robert Vaughn -Richard Thomas -George Peppard -This film was not a cowboy film. (This is a comment on the setting and the genre, not a comment on the dramatis personae.) -This film was not a Japanese period piece. -Despite being a rubbish negotiator, the protagonist managed to hire 2 people based on (1) avoiding being "bored to death", and (2) "a meal and a place to hide." "Is that real smoke you're putting into your lungs?" "Yup. And before ya ask, it is the worst thing in the world for me." "Well, I don't think you should do it." The natives of Akir are known as the Akira. There's a perfectly good reason for the Powers That Be to make a nod to Akira Kurosawa. Robert Vaughn's character was based on a different character he played in a different movie, complete with a few of the same lines. "Shad, did you see me on the monitor? There was a drone right on my tail. I pulled out; he smashed into an asteroid! " "We are Nestor." "All of you?"

Will Scarlett O'hara said he was from Georgia. Atchoo saw his knife skills and asked if he was from South Central. The merry men dressed as women to sneak into the archery contest. Robin was in prison in the Crusades before he escaped. When Robin asked who was in, he asked the villagers 'yay or nay.' Richard Lewis, as Prince John, whined about the noise of a fight or something. Atchoo called "Blinken" once, and Blinken thought he heard 'Lincoln'. Robin and Atchoo, fighting, allegedly used "Praying Mantis" on the guardsmen. "You vow, we move!"- Avery Schreiber, as his team moved the castle just as Robin returned to it. Robin grabbed the wrong rope to swing on- then later grabbed the right rope as he checked. The Godfather took the cotton balls out of his mouth and handed them to Luca, whose reply sounded overblown. Blinken asked many questions when Robin returned from the Crusades, including if he returned alive. Little John, insisting on a toll for crossing a bridge, recited his little rhyme about the toll. Fahrvergnugen, Brunhilde's horse, commented when she was going to try to jump down into the saddle. When Rabbi Tuckman was marrying Robin and Marion, King Richard shouted an interruption. "I object!" RT: "Who asked?"

Robin, saying goodbye to Maid Marion. Blinken, temporarily recovering his sight and losing it again, both with crashing into a tree headfirst. Prince John met with a Godfather from Jersey. His associates were Dirty Ezio and Filthy Luca. Filthy Luca talked like he was in a "Godfather" movie. Prince John's mole was in a different location in every scene.

The character "Blinken" was a spoof of the blinded servant in RH-POT. In this version, he tells Robin, upon returning, that his entire family was dead. In the archery contest, Filthy Luca split Robin's arrow. This resulted in people booing and throwing vegetables. ("Oh, good-they opened the salad bar."- Blinken) Robin checked the script to confirm he had another shot. King Richard returned, and had Prince John arrested. Robin's speech to the gathered villagers included the "Lend me your ears!" *ears thrown at Robin* "That was disgusting." Prince John got a prediction from his cook, "Latrine", who was not an actual witch.

This IS "Robin Hood- Men in Tights."

"Blinkin, listen to me. They've taken the castle!" ""I thought it felt a bit drafty. Cor, this never would have happened if your father was alive." "He's dead?" "Yes..." "And my mother?" "She died of pneumonia while..Oh, you were away!" "My brothers?" "There were all killed by the plague." "My dog, Pongo?" "Run over by a carriage." "My goldfish, Goldie?" "Eaten by the cat." "My cat?" "Choked on the goldfish." " I lost. I lost? Wait a second, I'm not supposed to lose. Let me see the script. " "Take him away! Put him in the Tower of London! Make him part of the tour." "Good people, who have travelled from villages near and far! Lend me your ears!" "He seeks to regain his family's honor. Little sod could be trouble." "Are you certain?" "Certain? You want certain, hire yourself a witch! Me, I'm just your cook. Here, eat that." "Looks like a Seder at Vincent Price's house."

"I don't know. There's a reference to the Crusades and one to Abe Lincoln, so my earlier thoughts were either time travel or some long historical film." This is not a time travel film. This is not a particularly long film. "And, yes, I saw the underlining. If it were a HUMP instead of a MOLE, I'd guess Young Frankenstein, but I don't remember any of these lines from that movie, either." Right- this movie is NOT "Young Frankenstein." "It has a Monty Pythonesque or Mel Brooksish feel, but I don't recognize any of the lines." This is NOT a Monty Python film.

Anyone who thinks they can do better in running a messageboard is welcome to do so. I had one once. It's a LOT harder than it looks once YOU are actually responsible and accountable.

George? What is the time-frame of this movie's setting? Does this movie have any distinguishing marks? Who did this movie? What is the name of one of the characters?

That is the name of a singer, and many singers are also actors, so it probably is the same guy. This guy did a song with Colbie Caillat for kids about staying calm, called "Belly Breathe." (Elmo's in the video.)

There is NO judicial scene whatsoever. There is a different type of "court", but that's not what you meant. There's underlines, if you missed them.

I agree with this post.

................No...........

"What part of Georgia you from? South Central?" "Oh good, they've opened the salad bar." "I should have never worn these shoes. They just don't match my purse." "I've been in here for a while. Perhaps I could be of service. Do you have any questions?" "What are you in for?" "Jaywalking." "Are you with me? Yea or Nay?" "Well which one means yes?" "Yea." " I hope's it worth the NOISE! " "Hey, Blinken!" "Did you just say 'Abe Lincoln'?" "By the by, do you know praying mantis?" "You're looking at him." "You vow, we move!" "Ah, RIGHT rope!" "I will take these cotton balls from you with my hand and put them in my pocket." "Yeah....whatever." "...Is that you?" "Yes." "What, back from the Crusades?" "Yes." "And alive?" ".......Yes." "A toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll. And if we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls. I made that up. " " {translated} She's got to be kidding!" "I object!" "Who asked?" "Too-ta-loo. Au revior. Auf weidesen. Ciao. Ding dow dai." "I can see!................Nope, I was wrong." "These are my most trusted associates. On my right, Dirty Ezio. On my left, Filthy Luca. " "Wasn't your... didn't your mole used to be on the other side?" "I have a MOLE?"

Seriously? Those were all from the SAME movie!

The "rant on random verses for 20 minutes" thing really got popular during the lcm era. vpw did it too, sometimes, but with a lot more style so it wasn't as obvious. There were homespun analogies that pretended to connect, and so on. ("Private interpretation" never had anything to do with "letting the hounds loose on the prey" or anything like that, except in vpw's mind.)

WordWolf: "The sad part is that we had the capacity to look up the usages fairly easily- with either a Concordance or a Greek Lexicon, but we were never encouraged to read the context to determine the meaning- we were encouraged to get the meaning, then read that into each occurrence, which is backwards. " TLC: "sorry... it's not that I don't agree that there was way far too much emphasis and focus put on greek... but I'll have to take exception to your blanket statement. (and yeah... I was a part of the research fellowship there for several years.)" WordWolf: "Well, congratulations that your experience- in the "research fellowship" - didn't match mine -out there in the living rooms. Where I sat, we were encouraged to get the meaning, then read that into the occurrences. " TLC: "...but, I guess you speak for everyone else that was involved during those years, and what I saw and experienced must be the anomaly..." Guess about that if you must, but this is another example about how different people in twi, in different places in twi, at different times in twi, had different EXPERIENCES in twi. I spoke about MY experience (and used words like "mine" and "where I sat" to make that clear). Some other people posted things similar to what I said, but can-and do-speak for themselves just as you did for yourself. As you said, YOUR experience seemed to have lacked that specific problem. I didn't doubt that, but mine HAD IT, so I posted accordingly. It would have been nice if my experience LACKED that problem, but it didn't. If you must read into that, then you must, but I don't think anyone else did.
