I’m in and out today, so I can’t watch over the trivia. You all play. I’ll start:
“I don’t go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.”

Sounds like something that Mae West would say.
But it isn’t.
My wife says “Billy Wilder”. Don’t know why.
Smart wife.
Ha! From her:
“…or my Google-fu is up and running today.
“Next:
“‘I’ll tell you what, let’s forget about the fact that you’re coming a little late to the party and embrace the idea that you showed up at all.'”
I know the answer to this one, but it is our favorite TV show.
Um, Daven, you didn’t name the movie.
Ah. My goof.
Bad me!
I thought it was on actors today. See what I get when I only have three hours sleep?
Billy Wilder is not an actor.
Some Like It Hot?
Is it Ace In The Hole? You reviewed it recently.
Mel got it.
God, I thought that was a famous line!
I think of Ace in the Hole as still a comparatively obscure film.
Next quote:
“I’m a good lover, at least I used to be, back in the early 14th century.”
A Fish Called Wanda.
Wow, that was easier than I thought!
Go, Evn.
Him – “I know what you want. Do you know what you career girls want?”
Her – “Careers?”
Hint: based on a 1994 Australian movie, which has since been adapted as a stage musical.
Hint 2.0: Cameo appearances include Quentin Crisp, Naomi Campbell and Miss Coco Peru.
Too Wong Fu; love Julie Numar
Correct!
(Exeunt, with Divers Alarums.)
Okay, now let me try again, this time without TV references.
Her 1: Then he had to go and attack Libya.
Her 2: It’s always something….
Hint 1: It is said by a Political Activist to her sister as she is moving in.
Hint 2: This movie is written by the same man who created a “spinoff” TV series, with one actor playing both the President in the TV and the Chief of Staff in this film.
The American President.
Bingo! Right on the money.
Since we’re leaning towards quotes today:
“All I want to do is graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die. Now it may not sound too great to a sconehead like you, but I think it’s swell. And you come along and tell me I’m a member of the hairy mole club so you can throw things at me? “
Well, I know it, but if no one else decides to try, I’ll give it a solve. 😉
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Kristy Swanson edition
“Hey you big bully! What’s the idea of hitting that little bully!”
Groucho! In A Night At The Opera.
Yep!
Another easy one (because I can’t think of a tough one):
“Usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your stature.”
Arthur?
Correct.
Here’s a curve ball:
“Chief, you know that guy whose camper they were whacking off in?”
“You’re a Federal Agent. You represent the United States government. Never end a sentence with a preposition.”
“Oh. Uh… You know that guy in whose camper they… I mean, that guy off in whose camper they were whacking?”
Hint: The movie was based on a controversial cable television program, itself based on a short film featured on a different show on the same channel.
I Googled it so can answer but won’t unless no one else does. Somehow I just can’t get into that show, despite all my friends liking it.
Let me try one more, mildly convoluted hint:
A recurring segment from the show on which the short film was featured was eventually made into a live-action sci-fi movie, starring an actress best know for her academy award-winning performance in a movie about a serial killer.
Okay, so the actress is Charlize Theron (Monster) so the sci fi movie is Aeon Flux, which (IMDb tells me) is a spin-off from Liquid Television. So…
Joe’s Apartment?
Ooooh, so close. Think frog baseball.
I know nothing of frogs.
George?
Beavis and Butthead Do America?
Huh huh. You said “do.”
All yours.
Easy one:
“Dionne and I were both named after famous singers of the past, who now do infomercials.”
Sorry, I was Clueless.
“All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people.”
My Man Godfrey according to my wife again. (she’s nuts for old movies)
“I belonged to a new underclass, no longer determined by social status or the color of your skin. No, we now have discrimination down to a science.”
Hint 1: Uma Therman was one of the actors in this
Shouldn’t say someone’s nuts in light of that quote….
I’m guessing Gattaca although I’ve never seen it but it sure seems to fit the quote and clue.
