It is not. I would also be shocked if they ever did a cover of it. Michael Stipe may never have heard of this song.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain't heard nothin' yet!"

Seriously?

That's it. BTW, I'm not a huge fan of the movie, but with the exception of the one about the bleeding and the kleenex, I could have gotten it from any one of those quotes. I thought they were all memorable.

"Uh, did you see a little nekkid man runnin' around with a $100 bill?" "I've arranged for yaks, ponies, and boats." "You didn't see a little nekkid bum with $100?" "No, but I could arrange for one." "If that bum didn't take my $100, we could have got a boat with a motor." "Shut up and paddle." "Yeah, I'm gonna paddle. I'ma paddle his @$$. I'ma paddle your @$$ when I find you! I know you... I'ma use this row... I'ma row your @$$ till it bleeds!" "I don't know, maybe he cut himself shaving and bled to death looking for a kleenex." "Only a man whose heart is pure can wield the knife, and only a man whose @$$ is narrow can get down these steps. And if mine's is such an @$$, then I shall have it." "Hey, that's a neat trick you do, where somebody throws a rock at you and you wave your hand and make it hit something else. Did you ever hear of Ed McMahon and "Star Search"? Do they have "Star Search" in Tibet? Probably not. Probably got "Food Search." But you know what we could do, is we could all go on "Star Search" and we could give the audience rocks, and have them throw them at you, and then you can wave your hand and make them all hit Ed McMahon... hard."

The version of "Casino Royale" with David Niven and Woody Allen had something reasonably unique- you had multiple characters going around with the same name. For this round, I'm looking for a movie that shares that quality- where multiple actors play multiple characters going around with the same name. This film also had a little brushing-up-against-the-fourth-wall going on. This movie had sets that deliberately were made to match the wrong scale, for plot reasons. It's also a movie that includes roller blades. I think it's the only movie that mentions Ruth Handler, a woman who should be really famous, but isn't really. Which movie is this?

We haven't done this song in a while, IIRC. "Tito Puente, Boffalongo, Cuba, War, and even Mongo, Peter Dial, Alex Hood, And Boogie Brass, woo!"

Uh, "Pride of the Yankees"???????

Other than me and George, I wonder if anyone else ever saw that movie, anywhere. John Travolta Pulp Fiction Bruce Willis

I just re-watched the 1974 version of "Murder on the Orient Express." The part of Harriet HUBBARD (not "Bubbard") was played by LAUREN BACALL. I wonder if Baby ever did get that ham sandwich....

I'm with waysider. Happy New Year to all. Let's hope it's a good one.

How about "ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE" ???? Vic Tayback is best known as Mel Sharples, the diner owner (and diner cook.) He was also a gangster in TOS' "A Piece of the Action." ( Jo Jo Krakow, or something like that. He tried to "put the bag" on Kirk, and Kirk beat him to it. He was the only gangster who actually made it up to the Enterprise. One of the waitresses in "Alice" was spun off, I think it might have been "Flo" but I'm not sure. If you don't like my guess for this round, all I can say is "Kiss mah grits!"

Amazingly, I thought about that very moment in passing when I had lunch today (or possibly yesterday.) This was Axel Foley pretending to be a reporter from Rolling Stone in "BEVERLY HILLS COP."

Then, how about "HUGH GRANT"??

The story of "Iron Man 1" was adapted from a comic book storyline- with a great many changes that vastly improved on the story. The story arc with Obadiah Stane, in the comics, was so bad that the first half of the storyline convinced me, a die hard Iron Man fan, to stop collecting the comic book. (I had an unbroken run of about 100 issues, plus others before that.) Obadiah Stane was a complete stranger, a cipher who had a holding company. He quietly tried to ruin Tony Stark and ruin Stark International, to lower the buying price after he ruined Stark. His agents failed repeatedly to damage the company (one managed to ruin a set of Iron Man armor, and Tony switched to an older armor, a point that was later forgotten by the writer, Tom de Falco.) One of his agents DID manage to cause Stark to have a breakdown. Those of us who'd read "Demon in a Bottle" noted he acted nothing like Stark having a breakdown, and also had one a LOT easier than last time, especially since he knew what to avoid this time around. But, de Falco wanted a black Iron Man, and he didn't like the idea of the inventor wearing the armor. So, after a bunch of story gymnastics, Tony Stark became a broke drunk and James Rhodes put on the Iron Man armor (and had to figure out how to use it.) Rhodes was a competent hero, but he wasn't as good at being Iron Man. (And I liked Rhodey.) Eventually, Stark got out of the gutter, and cleaned his act up. He worked with a small electronics startup, and the West Coast Avengers convinced him to make a new IM armor for when the next IM was going to need it. When Stane tried to blow up Rhodey, Stark and the startup, he was partly successful. Stark went to the WCA compound and put on the new armor. The resulting battle inspired the end of Iron Man 1, with Iron Man vs Iron Monger. Tony eventually outsmarted and outperformed Stane, who took his own life rather than let Tony arrest him. Stark got control of his personal fortune again, and later bought back (Stark) Stane International from its current owner (Justin Hammer) and returned it to its original name. I trimmed the story down and left out a LOT of missteps by the writer, who, apparently, couldn't keep consistent within his OWN continuity (he contradicted his own stories at times.) The movie's story worked a lot better. It kept a few nods to the original, but most of the storyline was rewritten into something good. Robert Downey Jr, Terrence Howard and Jeff Bridges were all familiar with the comics. (Jeff Bridges was familiar with Obadiah Stane, which was a lot harder.) Jon Favreau knew Happy Hogan. Gwyneth sat down with a pile of comics shortly after being cast. Marvel movies had a bad record of crashing at the box office, and this was believed to be likely for Iron Man 1, despite excellent casting and excellent SFX and CGI work. The excellent storyline, added to the rest, made for a box office smash. Marvel Studios, all but on life support, was rejuvenated. There were sequels, and Avengers movies, and other heroes got movies.... For the sequel, Jeff Bridges and Terrence Howard were not invited back. Terrence Howard was good as Rhodey. When he initiated salary negotiations, they canned him and pulled in Don Cheadle, who looked nothing like him (other than both men being black.) That was a shame. Jeff Bridges was not invited back because Stane died in the first movie (as in, they found the body and everything.) Apparently, I was able to fog things for George, but Raf managed to find his way to the answer. Go, Raf!
