never heard of it. im out.

 

Smoochy's real name was Sheldon Mopes.

I believe the phrase Bender mimics was "I'm crackin' skulls!"

The rest...never saw, so no idea.

 

yes u dog ! 2-2! well done.

 

the one from Miracle is easy. it was a fake family from a popular SNL skit...

 

Coneheads?

 

Gray Lady Down sounds like the title of a terrible porn movie.

 

yes - coneheads is correct !

and the last answer was jimmy smith.

 

in the movie stand by me - how much money did the 4 boys have to get burger meat, rolls and 4 cokes?

 

Don't remember the exact amount, was a couple bucks and change, I think. I just remember Vern only had like 8 cents because he still hadn't found the jar of pennies he'd buried in his yard lol.

 

it was less than $2.00. i think Wil Wheaton says $1.43, but the "Verne's penny comment" was the best! well done!

the show verne digging under the front porch. it's a large area but how do you forget where they were ? haha.

 

Gray Lady Down was about a navy submarine unable to surface and the rescue of it. The company was General Dynamics which made the submarine able to withstand the tremendous pressure at low depths. There was a scene in the movie when Heston who was the sub commander was part of a conversation when the officers were amazed that the sub held together at a very low depth. One of the junior officers commented: "Thank God" and Heston's character commented: "And for General Dynamics".

I worked at General Dynamics and visited its submarine building facilities several times in my career. It is amazing how they build these new submarines in the Conn. and Mass. facilities.
