Steve O., pay attention, you never know. ;D Sir, yes sir! lol I've not been paying much attention to but a few threads lately... been busy and have had to economize my time online, but I wanna say that I still enjoy this stuff, Tom... even if I don't participate like I used to. Loved the Polish pilots scene Me too... being of Polish descent, I've got a soft spot in my heart for the Poles who found a way to keep up the fight in WWII... and that initial scene, with the instructor, is my favorite part of the flick... "Repeat please!" lmao That was Sean Connery's character in the 'Untouchables'... forget the character's name, though. I wanna say Malone? Fade to Black... |

"Dey send one o' yours to da hospital, you send one o' ders to da morgue. That's the Chicago way!" I get a kick out of Sean trying to cover up his thick Scottish accent and talk like a Chicagoan (worked about as well as his attempt at a Russian accent in Red October.)
The movie was kinda dumb, and bore little if any resemblance to real events, but it was still fun.
Here's a trivia question: from what movie was the "baby carriage rolling down the stairs during a gunfight" scene stolen?

Sean's scenes were my favorite. Not a big Costner fan. Unfortunately, my late wife absolutely loved "The Bodyguard" and I saw a lot of him in that one. SN, was it "Johnny Dangerously"? Today's: (a toughie) (narration, no character) "Be sure to include tranquilizers to ease the strain and monotony of life in a fallout shelter. A bottle of 100 should be sufficient for a family of four. Tranquilizers are not a narcotic, and are not habit-forming." That is all, Major Tom  |

The "baby stroller on the stairs" scene was actually stolen from Odessa Steps sequence of the Russian (propaganda) film "Battleship Potemkin." Pretty violent for 1925..in that one the mother is killed by Czarist soldiers, and the it's hard to tell if the baby survives or not..given the context I'd say probably not.
I'm gonna take a blind guess at today's and say maybe "The Atomic Cafe."

Gosh, I guess I'm really up against an expert. Correct again SN. 1925 eh? WOW! I wasn't quite born yet, but a GREAT bit of movie trivia. Thanks so much for sharing. Today's:  Two different movies, similar lines. "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking." " I picked a helluva day to quit drinkin'." That is all, Major Tom |

I picked a helluva day to quit drinkin' That one nagged at me for a couple of hours..I could hear it in my head, but couldn't place the context. It finally came to me: Randy "Cousin Eddie" Quaid in "Independence Day." Even though the entire movie is ridiculously implausible, it's still one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Putting on my "geek" hat again here. The entire bit with Randy Quaid sobering up and joining the final attack in an F-18 was added after the movie was finished. In the original ending (included as an extra on the "Director's Cut" DVD) Quaid was rejected when he volunteered because he was drunk, but shows up at the last minute on a deliberate Kamikaze mission with a missile strapped to the side of his Stearman. Again, YouTube comes to the rescue..the in the commentary the director explains why the ending was changed. Personally, I kinda wish they'd kept the original. If you watch the final version of the movie, the dialogue in the final battle makes a lot more sense if you know how it originally played out. The controllers say "all missiles have been fired" and yet Quaid shows up with one still on the rail, and even though he's supposedly been part of the attack from the beginning, no one knows who he is or where he came from.

Correct Greg. Steve McCroskey from Airplane! Well, SN, I'm officially impressed. Thanks for sharing this. Really enjoyed that clip. Today's: "Don't dream it, be it." That is all, Major Tom |

Hehe..like I said, Independence Day is one of my faves. Years ago somebody told me about the "alternate ending," but until I got the DVD I thought he was just telling tales (the guy is a well-known BS artist, but even a broken clock is right twice a day!)

No tries on yesterday's quote yet, eh? Oh well. Today's: "Bless the saints, it's an ashtray! I've been thinking of taking up smoking. This clinches it!" That is all, Major Tom This will be the last quote until Monday. I will be at "The Greatest Show on Turf" this weekend during the day. |

Well, looks like I have to do a little catch up since it's crickets and tumbleweeds here lately. "Don't Dream it. Be it." is Doctor Frank-N-Furter from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." "Bless the saints, it's an ashtray! I've been thinking of taking up smoking. This clinches it!" is Ma Kelly from "Johnny Dangerously." Today's: a classic. Two characters: "Alright, I'll give it a try." "No! Try not. Do....or do not. There is no try." That is all, Major Tom |
