Sorry for the delay. Yes, these are lesser known quotes from West Side Story

"Now I can kill too, because now I have hate!" *** "When you was my age? When my old man was my age, when my brother was my age: You was never my age, none of ya! And the sooner you creeps get hip to that, the sooner you'll dig us." . *** "Back home little boys don't have war councils." "Ah, but they do here. You want me to be an American, don't you?"

It is genuinely sad to me that I sincerely not only recognize every one of those quotes, but I can hear them in the voices of Robert Vaughn, Pamela Stephenson, Richard Pryor and Christopher Reeve. This is Superman III

A five o'clock shadow?

ok, couple of things. I can talk to the other mods about reviving politics, but the problem has proved to be that neither side has been capable of a "respectful" discussion and it has only gotten worse since we expunged politics from the site. Further, it is damn near impossible to take veiled political comments as anything other than veiled POLITICAL comments. As someone who is politically savvy, I find the comment "The easiest way to confuse them is to overload them" to be inherently political even though the words themselves are not. I do not want to turn GSC into yet another political web site. But there are issues that intersect with our mission that we can and should consider.

You realize you were never taken off the team. You just stopped showing up.

Just wanted to announce that we have a new moderator joining the ranks, ModSerling, who has graciously agreed to help us out. I will continue to serve as ModCat5, and Modgellan will continue as well. Pawtucket remains grand poobah, and there's another user with moderator access but who mostly handles the technical side of things. ModSerling will identify himself/herself if/when he/she chooses to. Thanks again to everyone for keeping the doors open. Raf/ModCat5

There's some behind the scenes discussion but let me say without going too far that George is on the right track. Been a while since we did a good old-fashioned fundraiser, but running this ship isn't free, and Pawtucket has shouldered the majority of the responsibility for years. Personally, I give a fixed, token amount on a monthly basis and, if a dozen others did the same, Paw would be off the hook financially. "What happens if" is a question we're going to need to answer at some point as a group. Stay tuned.

That is correct. Some of the best quotes mention Jeb; would have given it away instantly

Hint: Based on a true story. Second hint: We cannot discuss this movie on GSC.

This is, of course, Groundhog Day. Next clue [Most of the quotes from this movie give it away even if you haven't seen it. More accurately, most of the quotes from this movie narrow it down to very few possibilities, even if you haven't seen any of them]> "What place do you think you will have in history?" "History? In history we'll all be dead." *** "My father would've kicked the living crap out of me if I ended up where you are now, Junior." *** "The only way to win is to leave before the job is done."

This is, of course, Groundhog Day.

This is, of course, Groundhog Day.

Oh, the similar movie with the all Black cast was Booty Call.

The Trojan War Starring WIll Friedle (Boy Meets World, the brother) and Jennifer oh would you just LOVE Hewitt, is one of the lowest grossing theatrical releases of all time. Frighteningly, it's not THE lowest. It is, however, the answer. You're up.

Didn't we do this one already?

Ok, you dud great with the first set of clues. However, "Can't Hardly Wait" is not the name of a legendary event that was itself the subject of a 2004 movie that made almost $500 million, so no. You also missed [maybe] a huge clue that part of the title prevents households. Emphasis on prevents.

The title refers to a legendary event that, at best, MAY have some kernel of actual historical basis. But it's mostly known as legend. The movie has absolutely nothing to do with that event. A movie about that event was released in 2004. It got mixed reviews but made almost $500 million at the box office, about three times its budget. Put the clues together and you get the event, which is the title of the $309 movie whether you remember it or not.

You have the right general idea, but no, this did not do as well as Eurotrip. It IS a known movie, not Traxx territory. Not a household name (in fact, part of its name specifically prevents households). But Traxx might have made more money, if there was a theatrical release at all.

Clues that worked: The cast (I have a crush on America Ferrara, having met her poolside during a conference before she became famous and thinking, WOW]! Lots of characters with the same name. And perhaps MOST importantly (which anyone who has seen the movie knows), the 2001 homage. I forgot Ruth Handler's name, but remembered Rhea Perlman and Will Ferrell in the cast. So like I said, the cast.

Here's a tough one. If you saw this 1997 movie in theaters, congratulations. You are one of the approximately 40 or so people who did. Maybe closer to 30, Depends on ticket prices, I think. Point is, not a lot. It cost $15 million to make. It played in exactly two movie theaters for one week and collected $309 at the box office [at one showing, the only people in attendance were the star and his good friend]. There are no missing zeroes in that figure, unless you want to count the two after the decimal point after the 9. Its stars at the time were better known for their television work, one (male) as a supporting character in a sitcom, the other (female) as a supporting character in a drama. The latter went on to star that same year in a horror movie that did quite well. Granted, not as well as the horror movie that premiered a year earlier and starred one of her co-stars from the same TV drama, but enough to spawn a sequel, a third movie with a new cast, a TV series adaptation on Amazon Prime, and, coming soon, a legacy sequel sure to make you wonder why, and possibly make you swear off a brand of seafood once and for all. Anyway, none of that helped THIS movie, a by-the-numbers teen-in-hunt-of-sex comedy that has a brief appearance by Lee Majors as Officer Austin (that's an Easter Egg). If you go on the Rotten Tomatoes website, you'll find no professional reviews, but perhaps surprisingly, 40 percent of audiences actually liked it. There is some similarity with another 1997 movie involving the same kind of quest that drives the plot. That movie had an all Black cast. This one was much whiter. The Black one also did much better, though neither was what you call critically acclaimed. Not complaining. Just stating facts.

Oh wait, no, this is Barbie!

I'll allow it. Happy New Year.

Indeed

You are correct. Dianne Ladd played Flo in the movie, then came back as the character who replaced Flo in the series [I think her name was Belle or something]. I forgot the kid's name from the movie. He appeared in the pilot for the series but got replaced by Phillip McKeon. The original kid went on to star in The Bad News Bears.
