I wanna be like Louie.

No, Stranger Than Fiction is more surreal, about a man who realizes he's a character in an author's book.

First came the book. Then came the movie rights. A screenwriter was hired to turn the book into a movie. He failed. Couldn't do it. So he turned in a script, expecting to be fired. The script was about his failed effort to write a script based on the book. He became a character in the script. So did the author. The screenwriter even invented  a collaborator, his own twin brother, who, it must be noted, does not exist in real life. The actor they got to play the screenwriter played the twin brother, too. In one scene where they both appear in the same frame, we're actually seeing the actor, who is facing the camera, and the back of the actual screenwriter, standing in for his twin brother, who doesn't exist. He does exist in the movie, though.

And, peculiarly, he was given an onscreen credit for his work on the screenplay.

It may be the first time in which the Academy nominated someone for an Oscar knowing full well he does not exist. The existing brother was nominated too. They both lost.

The actor who played them was also nominated and lost. 

Name the movie.

Yes

Too easy?

"Whoa, whoa. You better watch what you say about my car. She's real sensitive."

"God I hate rock and roll."

Yes and yes

So I'm up?

Peggy Sue Got Married

No and yes

Ok, this should be easy enough:

The Michael Jackson song "Beat It" features a really cool guitar solo that lasts about 30 seconds. It took the guitarist about 10 minutes to compose it. Who was he, and (bonus) how much was he paid?

That last one is a make or break. You either know it or don't after that.

Actually, I just saw the "staring at my tits" movie, and it was bizarre.

I remembered the "take that to the bank" quote with no trouble at all. Fun, stupid movie, Hard to Kill.

I got Stranger than Fiction

and

Kate and Leopold.

Pretty sure one of those is Office Space, but I wouldn't bet money on it. Just a hunch.

It was Dawn of the Dead. moving on...

Close enough

Pretty sure it's not Wolverine  Greatest Showman or Les Miserables.

"They're after the place. They don't know why. They just remember. Remember that they want to be here."

I'll have something later

"What the hell are they?"

"They're us. That's all. There's no more room in hell."

When spelled out, it's the order their entries appear in a dictionary 

The second one is John Leguizamos' "House og Buggin."

I think the first one is MadTV

And Meat Loaf DID cover it.

But the famous version is by Celine Dion.

Locomotion.

And it's "Warden THREW a party," not "THROUGH."

Their, their now.

Wait a minute. Warden THROUGH a party?
