  1. "Nuuuuuuude women. Nuuuuuuuude women. Cloooooowns welcome. Cloooooooowns welcome. Nuuuuuude women. Clooooooowns welcome." "Man, it's bad luck just SEEIN' a thing like that."
  2. I'm not sure about "Tropic Thunder." With "Garfield" I'm not confident. "The Tuxedo" starred Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt- who was one of the 2 titular heartbreakers. So, JLW.
  3. With the first line, I wasn't sure if this was Sister Hazel. With the second, I could hear the harmonica. Few music acts include a harmonica- Bob Dylan, INXS, the Blues Brothers, Blues Traveler, and anyone featuring John Popper (of Blues Traveler.) But anyway, this was "RUN AROUND," by BLUES TRAVELER.
  4. "Order, order. God^&%&it, I said "order". " Y'know, Nietzsche says: "Out of chaos comes order." " "Well, that's the end of this suit." "Yankee bean soup, cole slaw, and tuna surprise. " "We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately!"
  5. "Clean suit, new shoes, and I don't know where I'm going to."
  6. "'Out of order' . I show you 'out of order'. You don't know what 'out of order' is, Mister Trask. I'd show you but I'm too old, too tired, too f*ing blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place!"
  7. Most obviously. And those who are bored should go to YouTube and type in "Viking Kittens" for the current home of the Rather Good video.
  8. "Nuuuuuuude women. Nuuuuuuuude women. Cloooooowns welcome. Cloooooooowns welcome. Nuuuuuude women. Clooooooowns welcome."
  9. "The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands. To fight the horde, sing and cry, 'Valhalla, I am coming!' " "We come from the land of the ice and snow. From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow. How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore, of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. On we sweep with threshing oar. Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you'd better stop, and rebuild all your ruins. For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing." This is a well-known song. Seriously. When I began typing in the band's name in the search, autocomplete offered me this song as an option before I finished typing in the band's name.
  10. That has to be "SERENITY", which followed "Firefly." That show had a lot of potential, but the network kept changing when it aired and didn't promote it, so naturally it didn't build much of an audience until after it was cancelled.
  11. IIRC, that was "PREDATOR." (Seriously, never saw "Ghostbusters"?)
  12. Right, so that makes this "Batman Fever." (That's what David Letterman called "Batman Forever.")
  13. (I once heard that this quote was improvised, and wasn't in the script.)
  14. I think Martin Luther INTENDED to remain in the Roman Catholic Church, and his 97 Theses were meant to stimulate discussions, which were meant to trigger REFORM. However, since there were no reforms, there were limited options, especially for a man of good conscience. Frankly, Switzerland was well-situated as a location for the Protestant Reformation, which is probably why we got both Luther AND Zwingli from there. If there had been reforms, things would have been very different. Then again, there had been centuries of momentum beforehand, so, looking back, I don't think reforms had a chance in that decade. Things were just too entrenched by then, which was why the whole concept of retail selling of indulgencies didn't seem as outrageous to some people as they would to, say, me in the present, or Luther and Zwingli when and where they were.
  15. Does that mean if I guess one film in the franchise, it will count as correct?
  16. I'm certain you'd recognize the melody pretty fast. I've recognized it from a one-second clip, and it's not by my all-time favorite band or anything like that.
  17. "Valhalla, I am calling!" "How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore, of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. On we sweep with threshing oar. Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you'd better stop, and rebuild all your ruins. For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing."
  18. I think I have it narrowed down to a franchise.
  19. This suspense show introduced the Douglas Fir to the general audience. To hear this show, you'd think investigators sat around eating pie and drinking coffee whenever they weren't actively investigating. Season one centered entirely around one murder investigation. A spoof of this appeared in a Judge Dredd comic, with a Judge's death being investigated.(Who killed Lola Palmtree?) In that, one possible informant was a woman who went around carrying a mop, and was referred to as "the mop lady." One character was supposed to speak backwards. When they found out the actor already knew how to speak backwards without coaching, they gave him more and better lines to work with. This extended the exposure of an actor who was supposed to only get a short role in the story. One of the greatest difficulties of this story, had they gone there, would have been trying to prove the culprit did it. The evidence meandered all over the place, including dream sequences. What jury would be convinced of evidence like "I had a dream where someone pointed me in the direction of the killer?) BTW, the name of the character investigating was totally NOT "Secret Agent Chip Barrelmaker."
  20. I'm still waiting for them to release "Muppet Highlander." With cgi, we could totally see Kermit and Gonzo totally dueling for The Prize. My one regret would be that Bob Anderson couldn't choreograph the fight scenes.
