Ok, next movie. Glenn Shadix Winona Ryder Jeffrey Jones Catherine O'Hara Patrice Martinez

Mrs Doubtfire. First attempt to cook with all the prosthetics on, and an open flame on a stove burner ignited the chest.

Buddy Ebsen had to give up the role of the Tin Woodsman after the makeup powder poisoned him with some allergic reaction or something. Naturally, they agreed to change the makeup- once he had to stop filming due to the poisoning. This was "the Wizard of Oz." My favorite quote about the movie was from the actress who played the Wicked Witch of the West (who had an accident with the pyrotechnics when she was supposed to disappear, and her makeup ignited.) She had grown up a fan of the book. When her agent mentioned they wanted her for a role, she was delighted. "What part?" "The Witch." "THE WITCH??????" "Sure-what else?"

I thought I was excluded! I used to joke about this song from time to time (but not on the GSC.) "Short Skirt, Long Jacket," by Cake. If you like one Cake song, you'll probably like most of them. (And if you dislike one, you'll probably dislike most.) Cake did a show of some kind for Guitar Center. The singer, when he got to the "na na na" part, prefaced it by prompting the audience. Something like 'And then the audience, with no prompting, joined together to sing the chorus." But a roomful of disaffected hipsters is NOT going to play along, so that fell flat. My reference to the "na na na" part, however, was from the video of the song. It's awful, and I love it. It's a video of total strangers who have never heard "Cake" listening to this song and giving their impressions of it.

They probably didn't, since the "Happy Trails" thing was done for people we liked, and lcm slipped out the back door rather than draw attention to the lawsuits some more. Still, it's a funny image.

Was one of the cast SET ON FIRE during filming?

*looks it up* No one is going to get this one. Almost nobody who wasn't IN the thing has ever heard of it. It was 30 years ago. Whenever I want to post about obscure shows, I put up 3 different ones, with 3 different clues, which gives the guessers slightly better odds. (Usually, they're linked thematically, too.)

Goldie Hawn Overboard Kurt Russell

Got it in one- it was an existing song with slightly altered, "rightly divided lyrics." It's "Rolled Away."

It is "Clue." Some of the trivia is fascinating. The exact date of the movie can be determined because part of a famous, live broadcast is overheard during the movie, and the movie takes place all during a single evening. I didn't know about the "Psych" homage until this morning....

This movie almost had SEVEN DIFFERENT endings! That idea was then shelved, and the movie was scripted for FOUR DIFFERENT endings. Once one was dropped, we were left with a movie shot with THREE different endings. If you saw it in the theatrical release, you saw one of the endings (sometimes the theater announced a showing was for Ending A, B or C.) The home release and television broadcasts show all 3 in succession, saying the first 2 were possible endings, and the third was what really happened.

That's it.

That's it. The description was of "Over the Top" completely until the part about cooking. It probably would have made for a better movie if it WAS about cooking. At least, it couldn't have been worse. An exciting movie abou an arm-wrestling competition, really? Your turn.

This TV-movie is the story of a struggling trucker who's trying to rebuild his life. After the death of his wife, he tries to make amends with his son who he left behind years earlier. Upon their first meeting, his son doesn't think too highly of him until he enters a competition to be the best cook. Stars Sylvester Stallone, with supporting roles by Tom Colicchio, Padma Lakshmi, and Emeril Lag@sse.

"Magic Mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" "Hi, HO!"

Actually, vpw WASN'T man enough to work on the farm. He shirked his chores, and ran off alone for HOURS instead. His own father thought he was a bad choice for ministry work because he wasn't even diligent enough to do chores on a farm. vpw himself documented all that, between "The Way: Living in Love" and the other biographical books. So would Jesus.

Is that a reference to "Star Trek:The Motion Picture" and "Star Trek 2:the Wrath of Khan"?

Ok, the one with the casualties is probably "Serenity." The other is probably not "Peabody and Sherman." (Hey, a time machine story is science fiction...)

No.

"Magic Mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"

Sounds like it because it IS "Home Alone." Joe Pesci sounded amused when he related that story. Your turn. I'm sure you have the idea of how to play this one....

The word "Iron" does not appear in this title. The link is that the word "competition" could refer to either half of the title. :)

I don't like that 'na na na' stuff in the middle...
