Name That Movie!

[Econoline]

Oooooh, Ray! Soooo close...but...NOPE, of course not, not so close at all. (72 years off, to be precise.)




ETA: Wow, 300 pages!

[Lord Jim]

I know this one, but I don't feel like putting Econo out of his misery yet...

[Big RR]

Come on, do it for the youts (or is it yutes?).

[RayThom]

How 'bout this? IIRC it stars Leo Pillsbury who actually beat out Poppin' Fresh for the film role.

[Crackpot]

ahh it was an Oscar winning performance.

[Big RR]

I saw that film (it's only fair) because the star, James Duval, played the title charactercharacter in Donnie Darko--one of the weirdest films I have seen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko

He plays the demented rabbit.

[Econoline]

How 'bout this?

How 'bout another NO?

[Crackpot]

Apropos of absolutely nothing look at this restaurant in Niagara:

[Econoline]

Do they serve grits?

[MajGenl.Meade]

This is a nice Canadian movie. Spoiler alert: being Canadian, they have a Canuck surgeon save Lincoln's life in Act III. I think that's the one.

[Big RR]

Do they serve grits?

they serve anyone.

Youse guys is havin so much fun with this; it's a shame to interrupt with another clue...

But I've got a job to do here.

• • If you'd turned it off, it wouldn't drip!
    
    • • Maybe it's broken.
    
    Is that what you're saying? It's broken?
    
    • • Yeah. That's it, it's broken.
    
    You sure?
    
    • • I'm positive.
    
    Maybe you didn't twist it hard enough.
    
    • • I twisted it just right.
    
    How could you be so sure?
    
    • • [sighs]
        If you will look in the manual, you will see that this particular model faucet requires a range of 10 to 16 foot-pounds of torque. I routinely twist the maximum allowable torquage.
    
    Well, how could you be sure you used 16 foot-pounds of torque?
    
    • • Because I used a Craftsman model 1019 Laboratory Edition Signature Series torque wrench. The kind used by Caltech high energy physicists. And NASA engineers.
    
    Well, in that case, how can you be sure THAT's accurate?
    
    • • Because a split second before the torque wrench was applied to the faucet handle, it had been calibrated by top members of the state AND federal Department of Weights and Measures... to be dead on balls accurate!
        
        [She rips a page out of a magazine and hands it to him]
        Here's the certificate of validation.
    
    Dead on balls accurate?
    
    • • It's an industry term.
    
    [tosses paper away] I guess the fucking thing is broken.

Oh, I almost forgot. Meade - NO.





P.S. This ain't it either:

Then there was Our American Cousin that gave Lincoln a real headache.

He later remarked, I needed to see that like I needed a hole in my head.

[Lord Jim]

If nobody takes it before then, I'll answer it on Monday...

Don't have time to keep up with babysitting (a very apt term in this case ) this thread over the weekend...

[Big RR]

Not yute-sitting?

[RayThom]

[MajGenl.Meade]

I'm shocked at Wanda's language, not to mention plumbing expertise

[Econoline]

Nein for Ray and no for Meade.

[Long Run]

Saw this recently, most lawyers favorite law movie: My Cousin Vinny.

[Econoline]

You got it, LR!

But first (just for Dale)...

• • What's this over here?
    
    • • You never heard of grits?
    
    Sure, I heard of grits. I just never actually *SEEN* a grit before.

Okay, now: take it away, Long Run!
