01/12/2005: Secret Tales of Gummy Bear Woe.

SECRET TALES OF GUMMY BEAR WOE:
Spent the morning at the Broadway Screening Room – not as fancy as it sounds – catching a screener for Assault on Precinct 13 on behalf of Box Office Magazine. It’s got Ethan Hawke and Drea de Soprano Girl. More importantly, it’s got Laurence Fishburne, a man of which to whom everything is a tomb. Nobody will get that. :9

Anyway, it’s a decent flick. I have to let it all soak in before I can really decide if it’s worth recommending, but as far as formulaic remakes go, they did about as much with this as could be expected. Won’t bore you with the details since they’re all available on IMDB – I’m only mentioning this to confess my secret tales of Gummy Bear Woe.

Okay, so the only reason I signed on for this assignment was because the screening room (think movie theater, just a lot smaller) is just a couple of blocks down from the office. Untypical as it may be to go into work late so you can go to…work, my boss gave her blessing and said she hoped my grandfather pulled through. On the way there, it hit me that I probably wouldn’t have a chance to eat anything until around 2, so I stopped at a bodega and chucked bucks at the sad man for two little bags of gummy bears. This is where most stories would get interesting, but mine’s only going to get gummyting.

In a medium sized room full of movie reviewers of a much more professional persuasion than myself, the lights went down and the movie cranked up. The audience laughs when necessary, but generally, this is a really quiet atmosphere. Everyone is there for serious business. No talking, no opening doors, no accidental cell phone rings, and certainly no noisy ruffling of the two bags of gummy bears hidden in my coat pocket.

Assault on Precinct 13 is a movie with more than its fair share of explosions, car bombings, grenade go-offs and Pokemon metronomes. During each and every instance that something on the screen loudly blew up, I’d rapidly dig into my pocket, grab a bunch of bears and shove ‘em down my throat before anyone could catch on. This went on for — according to the press notes — 109 minutes.

They should make a movie about my gummy bear story, not Precinct 13.

My apologies to all you anti-first poster-braggers, but I have neve had the chance to be first before. Sniff sniff, its like winning an acadamy award. I’d like to thank all the little people : The smurfs, doozers, the littles, and most impoortantly . . . the keebler elves.

Stinking crinkly bags. When are they going to invent non-noisy food packaging? Like, a strong sandwich bag material, maybe even w/ a ziploc zipper on top. That would be cool.

I also don’t get people who keep their cell phones on during a movie. I mean, if you’re waiting for some important news or announcement, then I guess you have no choice. But, why spend $10 to walk into the movie theatre and then talk to your buddies, when you could do that for free out in the lobby? It just doesn’t make sense.

What, no Amazing Fruit?! Suckage. Their bags don’t crinkle. Cuz, y’know… they’re amazing.

You know what? You’re right — Amazin’ Fruit bags DON’T crinkle. They live up to their name.

I’d thank my 3rd grade spelling teacher too but after reading my last post, I think that would be a mistake.

I always enjoyed the first half of a bag of gummi bears/worms…but for the second half of the bag, my jaw gets tired and they all start to taste the same. Maybe my gummi stamina is just in need of practice.

I dont have anything to add, but I wanted to post up high. I dont like being the 100000000 poster

Creepy. I too ate food of the gummi persuasion today. I hope Matt’s bears were better than the "lunch box gummies" that came from my Christmas stocking. Gummies in the shape of burgers, fries, soda bottles and cookies sound tempting, but they tasted terrible. Honestly, how can you screw up gummi? I still have the taste in my mouth. Yuck.

Remember the bags of Gummi bears they used to sell at the theaters… they came in a gold bad and were EXTREMELY hard. Anyone know what I’m talking about, I think they were called "Gold’s" or "Golden" Gummy Bears.

Assault on Precinct 13 starring Ethan Hawke and that Soprano’s girl? - Sounds like it should have been called Assault on your Intelligence. As for the Gummy Bear thing- just be glad they didn’t start bouncing here and there and everywhere…..THAT would have been embarrassing.

And btw…1st post (here or anywhere……and I didn’t need to race against you Jokers to get it)

gummily speaking…I have a soft spot for those coke bottle shaped gummy…snacks, I guess. They really tasted like Coke or I believe they labeled it with the generic "cola"…and they even filled these flat bottles 3/4 of the way up so you could see where the glass would be. Anyone else know what I am talkin’ bout?

My favorite gummy-related candy of all time is the gummy hand my fiance’ gave me. It was the size of an actual hand and was attached to a stretchy thing (like those slime hands in vending machines) so I could hit him with it over and over yelling "Talk to the hand!" I bet he was sorry he ever laid eyes on that thing. ;) Kinda didn’t want to eat it though after all the lint and hair and stuff. Oh well…

"Will everyone please stop using the word GUMMY!!" — Marge Simpson from the candy convention episode. Homer eat the Gummy Mona Lisa or something and generally cuases a row as I recall.

The worst thing to eat at a movie is Fun Dip. By the end of the movie you’re so wired you can’t blink and you forget about the fact that you’re covered in 3 colors of magic sugar dust until you’ve walked past at least a dozen hot chicks. But it’s still worth it.

PEDRO-
Homer eats the rarest gummi of them all: The GUMMI Venus de Milo. It was carved by gummi artisians who work exclusively in the medium of gummi.

I just thought of an idea for a Hallmark TV movie about living Gummies. Creepy, yes, but also fun for the whole family on a slow Sunday evening.

Well, that’s New Yorkers for ya. Always so caught up in being professional. No offense intended toward amny of you New Yorkers.

Personally, I hate professionalism, which is why I love this site. It violates many rules of being a professional, while still continuing to impress its readers.

Oh, and I should mention that it’s incredibly sad that Matt didn’t get to eat his gummi bears the way he wanted to. We can blame the professional world for infringing upon the rights of our world by not allowing us to make at least a few crinkles during a screening of something so "professional" as Assault on Precinct 13. Oh yeah, the crinkles woulda caused them to miss a wwhhhoooolllle lot (I’m being sarcastic here).

Turns out there was one guy there thinking "If that guy gets another handful of gummy bears at the next explosion, I’m gonna lose it!"

The DVD of the original is pretty cheap, I got it in a two pack from Best Buy for about 12 or 13 dollars. Also Rio Bravo is great too, and it can likely be found for under 10 bucks on dvd as well.

Mmmnnhhh gummy bears are more than a partner in life for me…they’re actually life for itself.
Air, water and gummy bears. Public toilet also come handy, but mainly the first three…

Oh, for Spanish speakers (or readers) here’s the (fake)story of gummybears in old Europe!

Hmmm…I was just thinking…all I really need in life are Gummi bears in my pocket, beer in my fridge, and X-E.

But my favourite has to be what my somewhat twisted Godmother gave me for my 21st b-day last year: Gummi Boobs. Yes…Gummis shaped like boobs.

Not sure if anyone else caught it, but I got the Event Horizon reference. Man that movie freaked me out. Not Alien freaked out, but more freaky than so called horror movies like The Grudge. That movie made me shudder for all the wrong reasons.

Ack, Event Horizon IS a creepy movie. I had completely forgotten about it until now. Maybe I just blocked it out of my mind.

As far as gummies go, I went to Innsbruck, Austria, this summer. While there, some friends and I located the most glorious store imaginable–a store of gummies. And the man who worked there was - I swear to God- the HAPPIEST…MAN…ALIVE. Although, how could you NOT be, when you’re surrounded by gummies like that? He kept offering to give us taste samples. All we had to do was say, "Can I try those blue gummies in that jar over there?" And he’d bolt over to the jar and eagerly give us the desired gummy. What an amazing job.

Mr. Traj just bought that round, clear bucket o’ gummies from Blockbuster. Well, they’re more like Sour Patch Kids, I guess. Good, though. Want one? They’ve been in my pocket, they’re real warm and soft.

Regrettably, I also got the Event Horizon reference. Some of the awful images from that movie just burn into your brain. Watching it is one of those things I wish I could undo. Since I can’t, however, I do the next best thing — force as many people as possible to see it so I am not alone.

I don’t want to encourage Matt to stretch himself on needless obscure references, but I think the X-Entertainment crowd, collectively, is pretty hard to stump.

That’s right, the venus de milo. Gummi artisans that work exclusively in the medium of gummi. Hysterical stuff.

I didn’t know that was a Event Horizon reference, but I did watch that movie. Man, that was one twisted movie!

Event Horizon didn’t scare me…Sam Neill scares me. Scares the living bejesus out of me. After seeing Event Horizon, and In the Mouth of Madness, I am absolutely terrified of him. It’s the eyes. He gets that pop-eyed, "I’m completely insane" look, and I want to hide under the couch. *shudder*

You know what is one of the crown jewels of my MP3 collection? Rockapella singing the Gummi Bears theme. Oh yeah, I am such a 80s child.

I like the Gummi Roadkill that’s sold at my local Wal-Mart. They got tire marks on’em and everything. Mmmmm…. chewy squished aminals….

I wonder, does anyone get my movie reference? I debated about even mentioning it, but I’m dying to know how deep in the cave of movie quotes that I have traveled.

Mmmm Haribo gummy bears…best kind out there. Their gummy peaches are better though, they give you a sugar orgasm. Gaa, not going to be able to sleep now, want gummy peaches…drool…

Gunny bears are the best. Can’t beat a bear that gives props to the corps! Semper Fi!

trajeal, that was an easy one. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when Principal Rooney was on the bus sitting with the nerdy girl while the credits ran. Good reference. I love that movie.

How about this one (Matt will know it, anyway): "For those of you just joining us, today we’re teaching poodles how to fly."

"What most people don’t know, is that the turtle is Nature’s suction cup! Look!"
(lick)
PLOK!
"See? It sticks!"

You’re racking my brain here trajeal. I’m going with UHF and Oh Brother, Where Art Thou.

If Everett’s mouth was always getting him into trouble, whycome he didn’t know how to fight better? Little Brother knows just about every song in that movie. Count to three and move on.

Your brother has good taste in music, king. He watches Carnivale, too, doesn’t he? Man, I wish I lived near him. I need someone to hang around w/ and talk Depression Era. Does he listen to Bluegrass, or does he just like the soundtrack? Man, I’m crushing on him and I don’t even know him. And, we’re both married. AND he lives on the other side of the country. Sigh…

Here’s a good one: "I’m not leaving my house."
"Alex, if you stay they’re gonna kill you. And then I’m gonna have to to go around and kill all the guys who killed you. That’s a lot of killing."

This is the first time I’ve ever played Outburst on a message board before. Young Guns.

Ok, now I’m determined to stump you. Although, this one is pretty easy: "My dick may not function, but I have not lost my smile."

This one is easy, too: "Leonard, always get a receipt."
"Oh, yeah. I’m gonna write that down."

Little Brother’s tastes in music range pretty widely. His CDs range from King Diamond to Doors to B.B. King to Merle Haggard. That last bit was a ref to Evrett’s squeeze and her method of dealing with the frustrating things in life. "She counted to three! Do you know what that means?"

The second one is Memento but you stumped me on the first one. I had to cheat to figure out that it was Freeway, which I’ve never seen. I feel so uncool now. Oh well.

traj…I knew that one was Freeway; back in highschool my friends and I watched that movie ALL the time!! I like the part where Vanessa (Reese Witherspoon) is trying to read the sentance off the chalkboard. Just the way she says "MILK!" makes me crack right up. And the whole character of Bob…after Vanessa shoots him and he has that voice box and is all drooly.

Yeah, Freeway is one of my all-time favorite movies. Not number one, but right up there, for sure!!

Oh yeah, Brittany Murphy’s character, Rhonda? Shit, I didn’t even know that was her for like 2 years of watching that movie.

Vanessa: "What are you in here for"
Rhonda: "They caught me huffin’ paint, and they found a gram of tar in mah cooch"
Vanessa: "Okay, I’ll make out with you, but no suckin’"

"And hey, I heard you have one of them big poop bags, and it’s like attached to your body and all your shit comes out and like lands in it. You’re just a big ol’ shit-bag, ain’t you Bob? You just think of me every time you empty that motherfucking thing motherfucker!!" -Vanessa

Man, I love that movie. I love it when Mr. 24 acts like a psycho. You know he has to release that pent up rage somehow.

When I see Rhonda w/ that big scar on her face, that reminds me of Brittany’s character in Girl, Interupted - Daisy, the chicken girl. Man, Brittany Murphy used to actually be a decent actor.

Here’s another one w/ one of Matt’s all time favorites:
"I guess everybody has their own idea of fun. Some people go to football games. Other people do less superficial things.”
“Look, just because you don’t approve of something, doesn’t mean other people don’t have a right to enjoy it. You’re in the band aren’t you?”
”Yeah?”
”So?”
”So?”
”So the band goes to football games!”
”We’re totally different!”
”Why?”
”Because the band does not have fun there!”

And one from one of my own personal favs:
“Oh I’m the weird one? You’re the one calling Barry Mannilow from a phone booth at 2:00 am!”

Alright I’m back on track I think. Lucas and Can’t Hardly Wait?
Okay here’s an easy one:
"Slider (sniff)..you stink."

"This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day."

PS. Matt, please don’t let your life change so much that you have to kill the site. We would never wan’t that.

Stand by Me…wait, The Body. wait, Stand by ME, wait The Body…arrgghhh, the confusion!!

I cought up on an episode of Stand Alone Complex last night, and began to wonder what kind of place X-E might resemble if the ‘Net were as advanced as on the show. Espcially right now, with people shouting movie quotes at each other and discussing the various merits of gummi candies.
"You can’t reason with bugs, Wyatt."
"Well I had a bag of sharks that were so dry, I almost lost a filling…."
"…High and mighty Master Control!"
"Those cheap bags of dinosaurs are good."
"I have one question: how can you sleep on your stomach with such big buttons on the front of your pajamas?"
And add to that the goofy-ass cartoon avatars we would be sure to use!
By the way, you think there is a chance for "The Breathing Method" to ever be made into a film? Then Different Seasons could be a DVD box set. But, that’s just me being me.

Mr. Mango, I’m gonna guess Renaissance Man, as I know that’s in there. It was just on Starz the other night and my dad was watching it. He loves the movie and is the type who’ll watch any movie he likes EVERY damn time it’s on Starz, so I’ve seen it a few times now. Great flick. I know that the character is quoting from Hamlet, too (I think–I know it’s Shakespeare, and I know Hamlet’s what they study in the movie). Do I get extra points?

I like how you think, kingklash. Can you imagine the headless body special effects? Of course, they would probably ruin it. The whole "old men sitting around a roaring fire, telling scary stories" theme appears again in "The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands", which I thought was a bizarre if easily figured out story. I always thought The Long Walk would make a great movie, w/ the flashbacks and the cruelty of the Walk Gunners. A sleeper, like Stand By Me.

You guys are too good w/ the movie quotes. No cheating, now!Here are a few more:

"So, what’s your story? I mean, you got a guy, or…?"
"Yes, three big ones, and they lust wimp blood so quit bugging me or I’ll sic them all over your weenie ass."

Traj, I’m all over these ones.
Man on the Moon, Sixteen Candles and Dazed and Confused ("I get older, they stay the same age…").
Here’s one that might be a little more obscure:
"Skiing’s the easy part, Karl."

It could be a set like the Rankin-Bass set I bought for Ma, all looking like a book and all. And each disc would have the correct symbol on it like the book. I always wanted The Mist and The Stand to be done by a anime studio. As a miniseries, The Stand was alright, but it deserved more attention to the details. Cujo was the only one that was most accurate, just really missing the forays into the poor dog’s eroding sanity.

Crappers, I have no idea, Lucien. Maybe someone else will know. It’s not K-19 or something of the like? Of course, I immediately thought of Better Off Dead, but that would have been Lane, not Karl. And, skiing wasn’t easy for him. So, basically, I have no idea.

Extra points go to the person who knows (w/o looking it up) what the sayer of the first quote does now for a living.

Anyone else watching The Surreal Life this season? Who would have guessed that peter Brady is now a software mogul, dating the 22 year old winner of the first America’s Next Top Model"?

Trajeal-The second quote is from Mr. Mom The whoobie is Kenny’s blanket, and he’s obsessed with it. His father is trying to get him to give it up. It was a funny movie up until about around the halfway point, in which it all just went downhill.

The first one is from Fright Night.I believe the speaker is doing gay porn now or something.

Or how ’bout "Magic and mystery, a part of their history, along with their secret of Gummi Berry juice."

I liked the concept of Gummi Berry Juice and how it would make Gummi bears super bouncy and make humans, like the evil Igthorn, super strong. That cartoon rocked! Man, I gotsta find me sum eps.

Kidneyboy, second one is Real Genius I believe. We actually watched that in science class my freshman year in HS (the teach was about to retire). Don’t know any of the other quotes that are on this site right now. By the way, my obscure one was Aspen Extreme. Unless you’ve been a nerdy ski instructor like myself you really don’t have a reason to see that movie. Okay time for bed. Man I love this site. The Coreys rule.

No, no baby yet. However yesterday was my last day at work. Either Mrs. Manimal will deliver this weekend or they will induce on Tuesday.

I get License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream mixed up when I try to think back about them. One of them had Super Jackson Corey, complete w/ cornrows and black leather pants, and the other one had a pregnant Carol Kane. Right? She ate mashed potatoes w/ ketchup on them or something?

Good luck this weekend, manimal. I’m tellin’ ya, the hormones in sperm will trigger things, if you’re ready. Not exactly the most fun you’ll ever have in bed, but it’s an end to the means, KWIM?

The third quote of mine was from Heathers. JD says it to Veronica at the end, during their "blowing up the school" confrontation.

"I Like knockers"… isn’t that from Redneck Zombies? Hey, I was actually on the right track w/ the skiing quote. Well, I thought I was. Isn’t there a skiing movie about a ski resort w/ a really hard trail called K-19? Something like that. That’s what I meant, anyway. Not the Harrison Ford submarine movie.

Nice call, Robokin. Yeah, Freaky Stephen Jeoffries does porn now. I wonder if he moans in that voice.

"I started out just like you guys - on trash. Now, I’m washing lettuce. Pretty soon I’ll be on fries. In a year or two, I’ll make assistant manager….and that’s when the big bucks start rolling in!"

"It’s those jelly doughnuts. They call to me in the middle of the night. Hollywood! Come and get me Hollywood!! I can’t stay away from them."

Late to the party (as usual)…apologies. The second one is Louie Anderson from Coming to America.

Wow, Trajeal! You’ve quoted Stand By Me (My FAVORITE movie) as well as Ferris Bueller, Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead AND UHF! This is MY repertoire! If only I had been here sooner to answer your quotes- all movies I love. Good stuff.

As for the Gummi subject, Sour Gummi WORMS are best…..as long as you aren’t counting GUMMI BEARS the cartoon, which kicks the ass of most everything. "Dashing and daring, courageous and caring…"

kingklash, that is a great idea about the DVD set. It’s too bad about The Breathing Method. I agree that it would be a great movie, but like Traj said, "they" would prob. ruin it.
I am really glad The Mist is coming out in the theatres. I think that Frank Darabont is a great choice, considering his previous work. I was worried they were going to make it on ABC. ABC has done a so-so job over the years; not great, but not so bad.

It’s too bad that The Stand could not be filmed like LOTR was. They could make like 3 films right in a row, and then release them over a few years. That way, the whole story could be incorporated without having to limit the details to the constraints of the small screen. Harold could get even freakier with Nadine, and the special effects would be better. All that CGI crap in The Stand sucked.

Okay, so back to the Gummi’s? I like Haribo, hate Sour Patch Kids. The clear bears are the bomb diggity, and the orange ones live in my garbage can. So anywhoo:

TRAJEAL- "Nobody Leaves This place without singing the blues"- ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING! Great flick- I am happy to own it on dvd.

NATE- Glad to see you picked up on my Gummi Bears singalong and that I’m not the only one who misses that show! "The magic is growing they take pride in knowing they fight for what’s right in whatever they do…GUMMI BEARS Bouncing here and there and Everywhere- High adventure that’s beyond compare, they are the Gummi Bears!"

Was it three stirs clockwise, four counter, then hit the side of the pot to release the bubbles? I forget the ratio of berry colors to each other.

Carol Kane=HOT!! I love her in Flashback with Keifer and Dennis Hopper. She is great in Scrooged. And who can forget her suppporting role in Jumpin’ Jack Flash?

Jumpin’ Jack Flash and Bachelor Party were the first two R-rated movies I ever watched (I think I was 7)…guess I ruined myslef early!

For anyone here that knows what I’m talking about, is it just me or was someone in the Assault on Precinct 13 trailer dressed up in assault gear very similar to that used in Jin-Roh and Red Spectacles? Not saying it’s a rip-off, I know the plot’s nothing like Jin-Roh (which is not one of my favourite anime films, to be honest), I’m merely noting a similarity, intentional or unintentional.

1980s movie line I love: "The Prime Minister will see you shortly. Would you care for a cup of tea while you wait?", which doesn’t seem that funny in and of itself, but it’s an out-of-left-field comment in a certain semi-obscure big-budget sci-fi/horror flick from a character who seems oblivious to what’s going on around her.

well. late to the party as usual, King Klash I have one of your quotes.
whisper, whisper.." "No, you won’t be held responsible."
that was from Willy wonka and the chocolate factory

Here’s my addition to the obscure movie quotes quiz:
" life’s like a rainbow…"
"Your wet," "’ Yes its raining"
" Cow… another cow"" I think that was the same cow"
"just a junkie with a monkey"

The Cow quote is from Twister. Is "Life is like a rainbow" from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? I think "You’re wet." "Yes, it’s raining" is from Four Weddings and a Funeral. "My uncle thought he was St. Jerome. Hmmm… I want to say Ghostbusters, but I’m not sure. Is "Nosy neighbors" from The ‘Burbs? And the cat quote is from Cat’s Eye. I knew there had to be a SK reference in there, somewhere.

the "you’re wet" "yes, it’s raining" quote is from The Rocky Horror Picture Show it takes place between Riff Raff and Janet…just thought I’d mention it before anyone else had the chance to HA HA HA! I can’t really think of any quotes to put down…which is sad when I have a collection of like almost 800 movies i could take quotes from

oh wait, i got one that will probably stump people and it’s from a movie i got on DVD the other day
(this is all from the same movie)

"I think I’d like to f*ck your brains out"
"what?"
"I said, I think I’d like to f*ck your brains out"
"oh you would, huh?"
"yeah, but it doesn’t look like you have any!"

Tessa, isn’t "just a junkie with a monkey" from Jay and Silent Bob? I love that flick but I haven’t watched it in a while so I can’t be sure.

Haribo Peaches
"Junkie with a monkey" is def from J&SBSB, which was a pretty bad movie but not nearly as bad as most people say. I’m better with trivia than with the quotes, but here’s an easy one: "Margot was known for her secrecy."
And though it’s not technically a movie, I do try to work "Have you seen my bear?" into conversation at least once a week.

squee, you handed that to me on a silver platter. My bear, indeed. "Mama put the red pig out again." Sigh… I can’t wait for tonight.

I could have sworn that "You’re wet" quote was from Four Weddings a s Funeral. Andie McDowell says the second line, and it’s known as one of her flattest lines ever. No? What was that line, then?

"We’d be quicker playing pick-up-sticks with our butt-cheeks than we would be getting outta here."

"Hey, Yellowbelly! Hey, tenderfoot, move your chicken wings, turkey! Hey, underpants!"

Trajeal, yes the cow quote was from twister, ( can’t fool you at all) but the rainbow one is actually from the original muppet movie. ouch I would have thought little muppet baby would have nailed that one.
Jaboo, yep RHPS is one of my favs still,
Nikkii yup Jay and silent bob.
Glad I could play as well with everyone for a change, Im not used to having a Sunday off around this place. kinda odd being home when the munchkins are.

Trajeal, is "yellowbelly" from national lampoons vacation? Seems like Clark Griswold goes through a scene in the bar that I remember had those words in it.

One of my all time favorite movie quotes: "A nice, nutritious lunch. All four food groups are represented. Who’d your mom marry, Mr. Rogers?"
"No, Mr. Johnson."

"The Prime Minister will see you shortly. Would you care for a cup of tea while you wait?" was spoken by the Prime Minister’s secratary, Miss Haversham, in Tobe Hooper’s Lifeforce, though I caught it once on cable, and I think it was edited for time, because I think the scene was edited to:

It was a totally unnecessary line anyway, but it gives the scene a little British character.

I don’t know if the version of Lifeforce that they show on cable is the same as the theatrical cut (since I was only 10 when that film was in theatres in 1985, and it has Mathilda May naked for the entire film), I just know the only DVD version has around 15 extra minutes, and that little snippet is probably one part of those 15 minutes.

Trajeal: "I started out just like you guys - on trash. Now, I’m washing lettuce. Pretty soon I’ll be on fries. In a year or two, I’ll make assistant manager….and that’s when the big bucks start rolling in!"
Fast Times at Ridgemont High, people COME ON!!!! I hope this one was lost in the frey not a stumper!!!
Also from Trajeal: "Feed mayonnaise to LIVE tunafish." NIGHT SHIFT - if anyone has not seen this movie they need to immediately!! Absolutely hilarious, Micheal Keaton’s first and he’s GREAT! When you’re watching it keep your eye out for Shannon Doherty and Kevin Costner.

working in as many movie theatres as I did in my younger days It always surprised the hell out of me that they still produced the "care bears" brand of Gummi Bears.

it’s something most people didn’t even pay attention to or even care about, but it stuck me as pretty damn amazing that they managed to market something that hasn’t been very popular since it’s heyday. (current resurgance not included)

Either that or they were shipping me unsold boxes from the 1980’s I wouldn’t know.
