[HeXp£Øi±]

I bet i could cheat and get this...but i won't.

 

[Ardsgaine]

I bet i could cheat and get this...but i won't.

Well, gee. It's been 22 hours and 35 minutes, so I guess I could go ahead and give it up. There's no one else guessing anyway... no use torturing those who are.

Want me to go ahead and tell it?

 

[Luis G]

no that old?......

well, i'll try to guess......

when a man loves a woman?
a space odyssey?
godzilla? (the old one)

no?........ok, i knew it.

 

[Ardsgaine]

23 hours and 45 minutes... and the answer is...

The BIG Sleep![/siz]

Bogey and Bacall.

Vivian (Bacall): You know, I don't see what there is to be cagey about, Mr. Marlowe. And I don't like your manners.
Sam Marlowe (Bogart): I'm not crazy about yours. I didn't ask to see you. I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like them myself. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them long winter evenings. And I don't mind your ritzing me, or drinking your lunch out of a bottle, but don't waste your time trying to cross-examine me.

Power is when we have every justification to kill, and we don't.

 

[greenfreak]

I would have never known The Big Sleep, now I know why none of those quotes looked farmiliar!

Hex, this has to be some kind of military movie... or maybe a cop movie... Internal Affairs??

 

[HeXp£Øi±]

Internal Affairs..was that a guess? (never heard of it) Uh-uh.

 

[Ardsgaine]

Movie fact:

NBC's showing of ########## Sunday evening attracted an average of 40 million viewers during a three-and-one-half hour broadcast, a vindication for the network, which was uncertain how a black-and-white movie about ######### would play in prime time. The audience dwarfed the 25 million who saw the film in theaters during its release in 1993. The ratings (a 23.8 rating and a 34 share in the top 36 markets) were the best in six years for a TV movie shown during a February "sweeps," one of the periods when television stations set their ad rates.

The movie aired virtually uncut, despite nudity and profanity, and with minimal interruption. Ford, the sole sponsor, paid for a soft-sell, 50-second spot at the start of the broadcast and another 60-second ad at the end.

Movie fact:

Network brass were beaming today. "########## is a movie about tolerance, something that appears to be on the decline in our society," said a statement from Don Ohlmeyer, West Coast president, "so it's gratifying that last night's presentation seemed to be able to strike a chord with so many viewers. The overwhelming response to ######### is a clear indication that we as broadcasters should not be pressured into putting on bland, non-controversial programming to appease the over-zealous watch dogs who would like to control what the American public views.

I'd be giving more quotes but the movie isn't made great by its quotes, it's made great by its truth.
