I haven't seen that movie in at least 25 years, but we probably watched it 50 times way back when. Gimme a minute and I'll cook up a question.
In the movie 'Big Trouble in Little China', how much money does Wang wager that he can slice a bottle in halves?
There are some movies I watch at least once a year. Bat 21 Diggstown Remember the Titans Tin Cup Open Range
I've seen Diggstown at least 30 times and I've watched open range probably 10 times (I still watch a lot of Westerns and try to check out as many new ones that come out as possible). I'm not a big fan of Remember the Titans or Tin Cup. Just never really got into either one of them.
I grew up and played in the decade preceeding the time frame for "Remember the Titans". While I wasn't in a segregated community, we we're fully aware of what was going on elsewhere so, to me, it brings back some pretty formative issues in my life.
oh Tim, i would give them another chance. now i have bones to pick with either movie but Tin Cup is hilarious except for the overacting and entire character of Molly Griswald (Rene Russo). she ruins every movie she's in. Even with her, the movie is great. i hate that he blows it, but that's his whole character. Remember the Titans is also very good. Solid story and acting. Now ESPN did a real version of RTT and it ruins the movie for me of how far Disney stretched the truth and fiction for the sake of the movie. it's a huge difference between the real Titans and movie Titans but all movies about real people or events stretch the truth. I guess i didn't want to believe any other version of the story besides the movie version. then i read the real story and was surprised.
speaking of underrated movies - did you guys ever see the Junction Boys? I think ESPN made the movie. It's about Texas A&M football coach Paul Bryant (Tom Berenger) subjects players to grueling conditions at training camp in 1954. It's very very good. Well made too for an ESPN movie. It's from a novel of the same name.
anyone on castaway ? it was ice. how about shawshank ? when red sees the rock hammer he says out loud "it would take Andy ___ years to tunnel out of Shawshank." how long did Red say it would take Andy to do it ? And it's not 19 or 20 yrs. that's how long Andy stayed for in Shawshank.
yes axe - well done ! that damn rock hammer was worn down to the nub. im shocked andy didn't ask for a new one since he was there 20 yrs. haha.
shaping rocks. he was there for 20 yrs. at the end he had 3/4 of a chess board carved already and other rocks into objects.
new trivia -- in the movie Die Hard 3 - what is the name of the High School a bomb was reported in that turned out to be a fake? hint - it's a name of a US President. The truck driving tells the answer to McClane in the tunnels.
