Kenbro Utu Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Sorry, off topic, but another great scene from the movie, maybe my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Czari, I prefer the Segal/Fonda version too. Or at least I expect I do—I've never seen the remake ;-). Since Kenbro has decided the derail is on, I looked for MY favorite scene and found it on the trailer. It's practically the last clip but I'm pleased to see it's exactly as I remembered it. He even says, "That bad, huh?" just as I recalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexxi Gynoid Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I've not seen original, didn't particularly overly like remake, though I believe I read a book with that title. *nods* I mean, DIck and Jane was in the title somewhere. May have had "Fun". See Dick run. See Jane run. See Dick be made head of corporation right when it is about to fail. See Dick be blamed for everything. See Dick and Jane be poor. See Dick and Jane rob stuff. It was a thrilling page turning children's book. *nods* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czari Zenovka Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Loved seeing that Dillon! Now I want to rent it again - or just buy a Roku which I've been meaning to do. Most modern remakes I've seen are never as good as the original, imo. Another one where the original was better was "The Inlaws" (1977) with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin. They played those parts amazingly. The first time I saw that movie I think I laughed during the majority of it. After that movie it was hard to think of Alan Arkin as the bad guy in "Wait Until Dark" with Audrey Hepburn. Back to "Dick & Jane" - gosh, sooo many funny scenes from that. Here's one of mine - the opera scene where Dick gets busted by the unemployment clerk. I have no idea why this clip is in black and white. We *did* have color movies "back then" :matte-motes-silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon Levenque Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Oh wow, I didn't read far enough. "Wait Until Dark?". I saw that at a walk-in. For you young-uns, a 'walk-in' was the term used for a theater where you walked up, bought a ticket, and went inside a building to watch the movie. We usually went to drive-ins, where you drove your car into a big parking lot with a humungous screen, unhooked a speaker from the pole next to your parking place, and watched the movie from your car. I think there might be three or four left in California. But I digress. I was with several people, including a very good (and evil) friend and his girlfriend. Right at the moment Arkin shoots his arm out and grabs Audrey Hepburn by the ankle, my evil friend grabbed his girlfriend's thigh (he'd already seen the movie—he was that evil). She let out a scream that probably stopped traffic on the street outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder Linden Lab is selling fewer "microwaves at 500 quid" in 2013 than it did in 2006. Linden Lab needs to lower the price to increase sales (and increase total revenue). I've always wondered about this - re: owning an entire mainland sim, is there any other way to do that besides just buying up parcels as they become available? I actually owned a microwave that cost $500.00 USD back in the day. It was a gift from my grandmother and microwaves were a relatively new phenomena. They are very rare but occasionally I have seen them for sale. Very interesting; thank you, Perrie. Do you see them for sale on the auction page or land sales, etc.? (Not that I can afford one...lol.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
