  1. That's it. One or more scenes with the starfighters in the hangar- X-Wings and Y-Wings. Chewbacca gets the last word. We don't see him get a medal, but he gets the last word. The comic book adaptations make it clear he GOT a medal, it just wasn't PRESENTED like the others because Leia wasn't tall enough. And when the MTV Movie Awards gave the Lifetime Achievement Award to Chewbacca, Peter Mayhew came out in his costume, and Carrie Fisher hung a medal around his neck. Me, I always said his closing line was him yelling "Hey! Where's my medal?" George Lucas, and how merchandizing changed the face of filmmaking. Flash Gordon serials had the scrolling text. War films had the gunners firing at fighters from turrets, and so on.
  2. I figured you meant #1. Sadly, I mentioned that was an incorrect guess. Any thoughts about the others?
  3. "Uh, well, if anyone from the, uh, from the IRS is watching, I... forgot to file my, my, my 1040 return. Um, I meant to do it today, but, uh..." "That's no joke. They'll jump on him!" "Jack, you'll be glad to hear that we've contacted President Nixon, and he's going to grant you an extension on your income taxes, since you are most decidedly out of the country." "Roger that, Houston. That's wonderful news."
  4. The original version of this film included props in the background constructed of paper-but the audience couldn't tell that. The last line of this film was not composed of words. The director gambled everything on this film, and kept the merchandizing rights against the box office. The studio made a lot of money at the box office, but the merchandizing rights made him wealthy in one shot! Naturally, this only increased after he made more movies with such a strategy... This film owes a LOT to films that came before, having borrowed styles from old black-and-white films of different genres. But it was put together in a new way and audiences loved it.
  5. Another handful of semi-obscure shows. Name one to take the round. 1. This show has hot-tempered British chef Gordon Ramsay visiting hotels to try to fix them up. 2. This show has hot-tempered British chef Gordon Ramsay visiting restaurants to try to fix them up. (That was not a typo.) 3. This show has a bunch of mobile kitchens competing in a city simultaneously, speeding from city to city, with the one making the least money eliminated until one winner is left. 4. This show has 2 mobile kitchens compete head-to-head in a city. 5. This show has 2 expert cooks (Aron Sanchez and Chris Cosentino) visit a town, and compete in a series of challenges against another pair of cooks, usually locals from that town, in a race. 6. This show had a bunch of chefs travel from city to city across the globe, preparing local dishes in each area and competing as teams or as individuals, with one going home each episode until the last 2 went head-to-head to determine a winner.
  6. I think she was MOSTLY messing with him. Then again, he made that weapon with relatively little time and sweat. THAT certainly gets her attention. "You know, a woman like that could ruin a man- if he was lucky." Since I'd mentioned Cold's sister weeks before, when Lisa sat down next to Cisco, Mrs Wolf signaled me and asked if that was her. I thought a minute, matched the hair up, and off we went. When she gave her name as Lisa, that cinched it. If Barry had trusted Cisco more and Len Snart less, a lot of trouble would have been avoided. (Also, Barry should have waited to complete his half of the deal. (I have all the files, and I have the only copy of the records. If you break the deal, it all goes back. Or, just promise to do it all after.)
  7. I'm all caught up. Actually, we partly predicted the conclusion to "Arrow" about 1 month ago.
  8. That's it. It's not the most famous song, but as a novelty song, it's gotten a lot of mileage over the decades.
  9. "Oh me, oh my, oh, you. Whatever shall we do? Hallelujah. This situation is peculiah. I'd give a lot of dough if only I could know the answer to my question-is it yes or is it no?" "Here comes a blushing bride. The groom is by her side. Up to the altar Just as steady as Gibraltar. Why, the groom has got the ring And it's such a pretty thing. But as he slips it on her finger The choir begins to sing" "Now the nation rise as one To send their wanted son Up to the White House Yes, the nation's only White House To voice their discontent Unto the President To ask the burning question That has swept this continent- 'If tin whistles are made of tin, what do they make foghorns out of?' {Boom boom!)" "If your mother says don't chew it do you swallow it in spite? Can you catch it on your tonsils as you heave it left and right?"

  11. Donald Sutherland Buffy the Vampire Slayer Paul Reubens
  12. I was, I thought that Mother Carlson's first name was "Rebecca." *checks* No, IMDb says she was "Lilian."
  13. Please mention which you're trying to guess, since I know you don't mean that you're guessing that's all of them at the same time. However, sadly, I decided not to go with the one you mentioned. I saved an episode to watch later, but I didn't use it, especially since you introduced me to it and it would be like handing the answer to you. (I reserved the right to add it to the round if nobody got it, though.)
  14. Any chance this is some kind of triple? Otherwise, that may not be the correct movie. I've heard of a lot of even obscure vamp flicks, and none mention 12 or monkeys that I know of. And I doubt Raf is going to go THAT obscure without a warning if at all.
  15. How often you mention it. Seems we each have a film we mention and nobody seems to remember was ever aired!
  16. Actually, I didn't put the line in quotes because I didn't know if it was in the movie! I know it's credited to the General, as was the one you quoted.
  17. Beverly Hills Cop II Bridgette Neilsen Rocky IV
  18. Ok, let's see. Another handful of semi-obscure shows. Name one to take the round. 1. This show has a hot-tempered chef visit hotels to try to fix them up. 2. This show has a hot-tempered chef visit restaurants to try to fix them up. (That was not a typo.) 3. This show has a bunch of mobile kitchens competing in a city simultaneously, with the one making the least money eliminated until one winner is left. 4. This show has 2 mobile kitchens compete head-to-head in a city. (Great, now I'm hungry....)
  19. Rommel, you magnificent bastard! I read your book! Sounds like "Patton" quotes, which means they're probably from the movie of the same name.
  20. I think I know who Rebecca Carlson was, but I have no idea who played the old bat (if that was really "Mother Carlson.")
  21. Must be "Amazon Women On the Moon."
  22. "Oh me, oh my, oh, you. Whatever shall we do? Hallelujah. This situation is peculiah. I'd give a lot of dough if only I could know the answer to my question-is it yes or is it no?" "Here comes a blushing bride. The groom is by her side. Up to the altar Just as steady as Gibraltar. Why, the groom has got the ring And it's such a pretty thing.

  23. The first one MIGHT be "Underworld: Evolution" or "Underworld: Awakening", or just "Underworld." What do you have for the second half?
