Sounds like Alan Arkin in Little Miss Sunshine. Can't believe that one has not been done yet.

No, and no.
D: You haven't seen any snowy egrets around here, have you?
A: No.
D: Me either. Not that I'd know a snowy egret if I were pissing on one. You want some lunch?
A: I think it's a little late in the season.
D: For lunch?
A: No, pissing on birds.

Well, I said I'd take it Monday--Witches of Eastwick.
Re: Name That Movie!
On a side note I got my next movie if I can ever figure our one of these clues
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
PLEASE... Name That Movie!

Yes. Finally.

OK, a new one--I'd bet most people have seen this:
We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!
Re: Name That Movie!
Yes I've seen it can't place it tho.

Re: Name That Movie!
Even with a clue, I had no clue. But on the upside, I realize after looking it up I drank to the director last night.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

One of my favorite movies, and I saw it the first time on AMC back in the '90s. They showed it commercial-free and uncut, which was way out of their normal league then.

Damn! And I definitely had this one. Sgt. Major Dickerson was one bad ass movie character.
Oh, well, I'll just have to do better next time.
Bring it on.

Datsun as I recall, when AMC started, (and for a number of years thereafter; into the 90s) AMC was commercial free...I saw it the first time on AMC back in the '90s. They showed it commercial-free and uncut, which was way out of their normal league then.
So was Bravo...

Re: Name That Movie!
You're right, I confused it with TBS; they chopped movies to bits. I didn't watch AMC much, my sister did, lots of Cary Grant and Betty Grable movies. But it was AMC that played it- I recall there were commercials before and after. It was entirely happenstance that I watched it- I was channel surfing after watching something I regularly watched, and caught that it was coming up. The fact that it was an R-rated film being played uncut on a non-premium channel in primetime was a little unusual for the time, and warnings were shown before it started.

And BSG has it. Over to you.
Jim and Datsun--I think AMC started with commercials in the late 90s, it also gave up on a lot of the older films (TCM filled that void) and began broadcasting more contemporary films.
and for anyone who likes this film, I also recommend seeing Apocalypse Now Redux, which adds about an hour of trimmed scenes. Some are better than others, but all still have that some foreboding tome of the film--worth checking out.
