  1. Seriously, I would like to know the answers to these questions, If anybody knows:

     

    Does running ads make the difference between continuing or going under?

     

    Does running ads make the difference between increasing services or having to cut back?

     

    Does running ads make the difference between prosperity and just-getting-by?

     

    Does running ads make the difference between having both a yacht and a chalet in Vail and having to choose between the two?

     

    ...With a little info on those points, I may be able to have an informed opinion on this subject.

  2. some random giggles:

     

    "You're sort of like a Pete Rose, right? A player-manager?"

    ...(The woman thus addressed supervises a group of high-end hookers, and occasionally turns a trick herself.)

     

    ...Jeff Bridges in *Eight Million Ways to Die*

     

    "Say, boy, do you do that consistantly?"

    "No, sir. I does it all the time."

     

    ...James Earl Jones and Stan Shaw in *Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings*

  4. Bingo! Correct, Lavender. Incidentally, On the IMDb site of *Apartment Zero*, a fan started a message board about the game of 'name 3 actors -- name the movie', and others joined in and they have gone for three pages so far.

     

    lavenderblue's thread.

  5. (6,026, at over 200 Views)

    The Public Defender is called aside by the attorney for the other defendants, and is asked about the possibility of having his client testify for the others. Then he (the PD) realizes -- the prosecutors have looked over the case and have dropped the charges against his client. "And you knew it before I did!" The other atty wants to prevent having the PD's client testify against the real killers.

     

    The actor in the drugged-out client role is currently seen frequently as a celebrity commentator on that "reality" show about dumb criminals.

    skipper''s answer about *Christmas In Connecticut* checks out with Dudley Beecham being the one conned. The other would be, I think, *Miracle on 34th Street*, with Mr. Shellhammer* being fooled.

    If this answers the question, I request that mudskipper either take the next one or open the thread.

    I'm juggling a couple of other threads now, and trying to bring them back from Page 3.

     

    *...(Shellhammer = nutcracker, perhaps?)

     

     

  7. Scene: Several tenants of an apartment building are going about their usual business while listening to the same TV newscast about the serial killer loose in their city. A generalized profile of the killer is given. The narrative ends with a comment that the killer could be anyone, even a neighbor, and still be well hidden. At this part all the listening tenants all look up. They are all thinking about their neighbor on the top floor.

  8. The druggie defendant's story is that he, as instructed, went around to several people and told them the where-and-when of an upcoming party. "When (that guy) tells you to do somethin', you do it!" He then zonked out and did not attend the party itself.

     

    His Public Defender tries a little game with the client. Shows him a series of photographs. "Pretend I'm a Martain, don't know anything." They go through several photos: a landscape, a guy just standin' there, then: "Hey, that ain't nothin but chimblys. Where is that?" "It's Paris." The last photo is from the crime scene, in the aftermath of the event. The client claps his hand over his mouth and just barely makes it to the trash can. The PD is sure now that the client has never seen that before. "You wouldn't shuck a Martain, whould you, buddy?"

  9. Whatthehay, 58 Views, no bites, and almost on Page 3. Let's try the verse.

     

    ♫ All the burning bridges that have fallen after me...

    All the lonely feelings and the burning memories,

    ♪ Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door --

    Burning bridges lost for evermore. ♫

     

    One verse sang by a character during the film, the entire song performed by a chorus of voices with the closing credits.

     

    Song? Film?
