on my little screen, I now have a whole page of messages off topic.  Loving it.  Now if I could just get one right!

Somebody throw me a bone here.  Can't anyone think of a gimme line they could post so I could get one???

remedial movie trivia for mr. orthodx

We could go back to arguing about respect for entire categories and generalizations of people... NO, divisive isn't pretty. YECH.

Hmmmm think think think it's Sunday, no politics in the afternoon, that was over this morning, it's too hot to move quickly on the West Coast...

We've done the most embarrassing moment, covered shaving~~

Anybody want to talk about your best surprise on a date? (or has that one been covered?)

Somebody say something nice.

SEDONAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Apocolypse Now

instead of replying with the RIGHT answer (which face it, you could get wrong) reply instead with a deliberately WRONG one that shoulda-coulda-musta been the source!

LOL

(yes, god help us all!)

nice effort, both of you. just a gentle reminder:

1. apocalypse now was set neither in kansas nor oklahoma. think rice paddies, not corn or wheat
2. at no time was napalm used in the movie i'm thinking about (that was water they threw on the witch).

now try harder. remember, melinda only talks dirty to guys who get the answer CORRECT!!

please let's NOT spin-off any new quiz-show franchises (public-domain or not) i believe the IDIOT that suggested this game (moi!) intended it to be used sparingly only if-n-when things got boring

and as hard as it is for me to say this,

things were not THAT boring on this board!

LOL

Isn't that a movie line? Ok...ok...so I have this obsession with sex lately. Because of a medication, I've had virtually no sex drive for the past year, but it's bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

or maybe the movie "Romance" by Catherine Brillaut, which was an X-rated art flick which cast Rocco as (what else?) a stud.

All I can say, Interesting One, is I envy your clients!

And oh dear Space, don't envy my clients. Those poor souls have to put up with my kookiness, expressive opinions, and terrible jokes. It's a blessing that I have any clients being as goofy as I am.

Sounds like a better time than being with someone mechanical and full of themself.

How about a link?

With her identity and website ... I shall soon complete my collection!

Col. Nicholson (Sir Alec Guiness) at the end of the "Bridge on the River Kwai" as he falls mortally wounded on the detonator that blows up the bridge.

My quote was actually a reference to a personal conversation I had with Singleton regarding movie quote mania.  It was a actually a line from a song by the Talking Heads ("Once in a Lifetime").

That you could reference it to a movie, no less one with Sir Alec, one of the best and most subtle actors of all time (who is probably spinning in his grave at Ewan McGregor's depiction of a younger Obi-Wan Kenobi, a role that Sir Alec made "Star Wars" dramatically legitimate with)...you go, bud!

i wasn't sure what the movie attribution of that quote could've been (it's been bandied about in so many things)

thinking back to the earliest/original cinematic quotation is playing in the big leagues!  

Bridge on the River Kwai is in my top 5 films all time.  I could probably go through the dialogue the same way the "Rocy Horror..." and "Casablanca" folks do.  Come to think of it, Casablanca is my ATF film.

I just love that film, Alec Guiness, William Holden, Sessue Hayakawa, Jack Hawkins.  Doesn't get any better.  And BTW, the best line in the film was uttered by Hayakawa (Col. Saito):

"Prisoners will be happy in their work"

that if you're hung like their trunks you too will have total recall all the time?
