The day the Earth stood still

The day the Earth stood still

Yep, your turn.

I really liked the scene with Ben Gazara and Michael Rennie where he demolishes the equation with a few simple checks and slashes then says the rest could now be solved with Separation of Variables something I had just learned at college. There aren't too many films that show real math as such a level.

 

[Bandersnatch]

Q: One with a broken arm teams up with a broken man, to summon Charles Darwin et al. with a hidden goal of facilitating a one-way journey to Morph3us' realm.

 

[jedishrfu]

The Fall (2006) directed by Tarsem Singh based on Yo Ho Ho 1981 play by Valery Petrov

 

[Bandersnatch]

It is.

One of the most beautifully shot films out there.
Your turn.

 

[jedishrfu]

Stranded on an island with a monkey, some beautiful island girls and a big kahuna.

 

[jedishrfu]

Yep, your turn.

oops I meant Sam Jaffe (starred with Ben Gazara in Ben Casey) senior moment.

 

[jedishrfu]

Stranded on an island with a monkey, some beautiful island girls and a big kahuna.

Since nobody guessed, I'll provide another clue the monkey was a space chimp.

 

[Bandersnatch]

Eh, Planet of the Apes, maybe?

 

[jedishrfu]

Eh, Planet of the Apes, maybe?

Nope, it was a popular comedy film in the 60's.

 

[krash661]

is elvis in it ?

 

[jedishrfu]

is elvis in it ?

Nope, but a famous chimney sweep is.

 

[krash661]

lt. robin crusoe, u.s.n.

 

[jedishrfu]

lt. robin crusoe, u.s.n.

Yes, a great and silly movie developed by Walt Disney himslef( see movie credits fot Retlaw Yensid) with Nancy Kwan and Dick VanDyke (Mary Poppins Chimney sweep) based on the classic story of Robinson Crusoe.

So its your turn.

 

[krash661]

hmm, i need to think of one,
if anyone else has one,
go head.

 

[jedishrfu]

Something familiar, something peculiar, something for everyone... a comedy tonight.

 

[jedishrfu]

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Nobody decided to guess my film so I can only assume the thread should be closed for lack of interest.

This is Jedishrfu signing off. Goodnight Mrs Calabash wherever you are.

 

[Bandersnatch]

Oh, Jedishrfu. If you could only stop breaking the thread with your obscure references to 60s films. My parents weren't even fully aware of their gonads back then.

So, anyway, after sudden epiphany, I realized that your last post was not a clue, but the answer. This means we need another question.

Q:
There once was a fella
who had an idea
and all the fellas could dig it!
but one
who took a gun
and thought it was fun
to blame it on a band of fighters

THe Lone Ranger?

 

[Bandersnatch]

Nope. A 70s film.

 

[Bandersnatch]

Clue: there was a scene with a guy in nightgown repeatedly shouting "CAN YOU DIG IT?!" in front of a large crowd of unemployed young people.

 

[Cthugha]

The Warriors?

 

[Bandersnatch]

Yeah.
The man with an idea was Cyrus giving the "can you dig it?" speach to the gangs, the one man with a gun was Luther, who shot him and blamed the Warriors for it.

Anyway, fun film. With that cheap, guilty pleasure feel cult movies are made of.

Your turn, Cthugha.

 

[Cthugha]

Let's get naughty:

Q: This movie features a threesome with only two people involved.

 

[Cthugha]

A little hint: The movie starts with a scene showing a comedian. However, he does not manage to make it a funny scene.

 

[Bandersnatch]

Awright. The Watchmen.

 

[Cthugha]

Yup. Your turn.

 

[Bandersnatch]

Q: This film featured a character who owned a wallet with an inscription professing not only that he sleeps with his mom, but also that he's not really good at it.

 

[Bandersnatch]

Clue: said wallet is taken, and shortly returned to the owner, by a lovely couple robbing a cafeteria.

 

[Bandersnatch]

Jesus, people. The director's first name is Quentin.
