Name that famous relative!!! (Let's try this again)

Editorial note:  I had downloaded this video, and had hit the "private" button, so if you tried to look at it, you could not.  Thanks StopSign, for giving me the heads up.  But, it pretty well sucks anyway, so you didn't miss anything.
Hey y'all!

I made y'all a V-Logg to see if y'all could guess something, and win some blog points (50 of 'em, too!  Those will come in handy sometime, some place, somewhere).

Trust me, they will... 

(A clarification.  This V-Logg might confuse y'all.  My "Papaw" did not die young-ish.  I was talking about my famous relative singer when I said, "He died young-ish."  Papaw was real old when he died.  He was a great friend, and an interesting character that I had with me, well in to my 30s. He was on up in his 80s, and I still miss him every day.  So, consider y'alls selves clarified on that deal).

NAME THAT FILM! (#5)

.


Hey y'all!  Hope y'all are as warm and happy as I'm iz today!  I'm lovin' it!


Today's episode of  "Name That Tune/Film/Whatever" features one of my favorite films in the history of history.  

Just in case y'all forgot how we play this little game, I give y'all a few clues to what film/tune/whatever it is, and then I give you a line from it.  Then you get to search your remembry to see if you've got it up in there. 


Let's be about it.


1)  This will be REAL easy for some of y'all, but much harder for others.


2)  This film is available from The Netflix® only on DVD at present, but it will be available for streaming on July 1st of this year (Dang!  That's pretty soon, too.)  But, it does not matter, because I have it on a DVD which I own.


3)  This film was filmed the year before I was born (that's a trick question, so you gotta know what year God blessed the planet with ME in order to figure out what year it was filmed).


4)  The Mrs. bought five copies of the DVD two Christmases ago and gave them to ME, Dean, Ross, Phil, and Granddad, because we all love to look at it.  In fact, me and the boys looked at it so many times on VHS that we can quote every line backwards & forwards.  But, the VHS tape finally wore out, and we were apoplectic until The Mrs. bought it for us all on DVD.


She's a wonderful Mrs.


5)  There are two people in this film that went on to become one of the most beloved television pairs in the history of television.  (I'll give you a "cheat."  One of the two starred in the film...the other just played a minor role.)


6)  (I'll probably completely give it away with this clue, but y'all probably need more info to make an informed guess.)  When this line is said, the hero of the picture is on an aeroplane.


Here we go:  "...tell Will that if he turns the plane around, King will give him his watch."

NAME THAT FILM! (#4)

.

This episode of "Name That Film" is brought to you free of charge. 


Yep!  No advertisements, or even a PayPal tip jar around Andy's Place.  All the content is el-freebo!  And, worth every cent IMHO.


As always, I'm gonna give y'all clues about this film, and then give y'all the line from the film.  Please do not Gooblecheat, but I know you will, so never mind.


1)  This film IS available for online streaming on The Netflix® .


2)  The Mrs. and I looked at it last night.  Actually, The Mrs. looked at the first 18 minutes, but I was spellbound, and watched the whole two hour deal from start to finish (which is amazing in itself).  So, you know it's a dang good movie if my interest was held.


3)  It's a quirky piece of work, but one of the best films I've looked at in a while.


4)  It is the work of an odd character who has done a bunch of really good films.  Most shamefully, though, he did probably the worst film I have ever seen.  You know, the one about the big dog.


5)  The quote I'm gonna give you was said by two different people at two different times to the same character in the film.


6)  It stars (in quite a captivating performance, too) that woman that was Michael Oher's tutor...you know, the liberal Democrat from Ole Miss...yeah, her.


Okay, here's the line.

"Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold on to."

Good luck!

NAME THAT FILM! (#3)

This picture has nothing to do with the film, it's just a really odd picture.  I mean, I think I could do that, but why would I want to try?

Hey y'all!  This edition features a well-known famous movie, so it's gonna be real easy.  And, I'm gonna give y'all some clues.


1)  It is old enough that I saw it at the Strand Theater in downtown Shreveport WAY back when they still had films there (I'm guessing about 1970...just a guess).


2)  It is not available on The Netflix® for live streaming, so you have to get them to mail it to you.


3) I got them to mail it to me, and it only took one day to get it.

4)  The Mrs. and I looked at it last night (Well, at least the first few minutes before we fell on off to sleep.  We were worn out from the busy weekend we both had, I reckon).


5)  It stars two of Hollywood's most famous actors...and two of the best ever in my book.  (An interesting side note is that Warren Beatty, and Steve McQueen were originally picked to star in this film, and that the two eventual stars would only work together once more.  Hmmmm...I thought it was more).


6)  There is a much more famous line from this film that I started to use, but that would make it WAY too easy, so I opted for another line which I stayed awake long enough to hear, and had forgotten was in this film.


Okay, here it is.  One of the main characters sings this line:  "Don't ever hit your mother with a shovel!  It leaves a dull impression on her head!


Good luck!  

And remember, no Gooblecheating!

Name That Film!

.

Okay, so it's been hit and miss on "Name That Tune/Film/Whatever."

But, I've got a good one for y'all.  

Two days ago I signed up on The Netflix (registered) for one reason, and one reason alone...because I saw that they had available for watching on the worldwide computer one of my favorite all-time films that I have not been able to rent on DVD, or VHS.  Them Netflix (registered) folks got it goin' on, too.  

Actually, it's not really one of my favorite all-time films, but it's one I remembered looking at about 30 years ago, and I really liked it.  It kinda stuck in my head, and I wanted to look at it once more before I croak, and I could never find it at a video rental establishment.  

So, I saw it was available, and signed up for the free 30 day trial on The Netflix (registered).  There was ONE line in this film that  I remembered really good, because it was said to Perry Mason's Secretary in the film, and it made me laugh into convulsiveness.  (Now, the line is not all that funny standing alone, but it comes 90 minutes into a two hour film, and the scene is already set by then for it to be funny...and memorable 30 years later).


Okay, here's the line, and y'all can see if you can name this film...

"Mrs. Barlow, I did a lot of things around here I'm not proud of...But I never, and I don't know who would have if I didn't, but I repeat...I never, ever pissed in your steam iron!"


Let's see if y'all can name that film, or if I'm the only one that ever looked at this film.  Actually, there were some pretty good actors in it.  There was that dude from Tribes, and the guy that The Mrs. always thought looked like a young Robert Redford.  And Buddy Holly was in it, too.


That's probably too many clues, but I'm kinda generous when I'm sleep deprived, and all.


Not generous enough to give a real prize or nothing, but I'll see what I can do...

NAME THAT FILM! (#2)

.

Okay, my grandiose plan to do this regularly has kinda' fell to pieces, but I was looking at a film last night that The Mrs. was watching.  It's one of her many hundreds of tapes, and I like it really good.  And, I just guffawed when this line was spouted by the main actor in it, so I decided to feature it on this wildly popular (though not often featured) feature here at Andy's Place.


I think it's worth noting that Two Dogs got the first quiz correct, and won his big prize...Tickets to the BCS Championship the next time somebody from the SEC doesn't play in one.  Sure, he'll be an old, old man...and I'll be dead and gone, too...so he can thrash it out with my heirs.


This time the prize is tickets to the BCS Championship the next time Notre Dame plays.  So, y'all put your thinking caps on.  You're not gonna want to miss that ball game!  Well, you probably won't get to actually go to it, but you can leave the prize in your will to somebody...way on down your genetical line.


Now, Butch Cassidy is not in this film (don't worry, I'll bring back another Butch Cassidy film soon enough).  But, another of my favorite Actors is in it.  Buffy is in this one.


The quote is:  

I!  HAVE CREATED!!!  FIRE!!!!!

Not many clues, I know. But, this one is so dang easy that even I know it.


Hey, I got one coming up pretty soon from a film I really like, and it's a slap in the face to Bo Schembechler, too. I can't barely wait...

Name That Tune!!!

.

As promised (and I know y'all have been waiting up all night for this inaugural episode), we present "Name That Tune!!!" 

The Rulz:


1)  List the song title, and artist.  (If it's a song recorded by multiple artists, be prepared to prove your work).  And, do not Gooblecheat!


b)  Do not look at comments until you're ready to answer.


c)  Do not change your answer after you look at comments.


4)  I guess that's all.


5)  No, wait...go ahead on and answer even if somebody else already has used your answer.  We will be awarding multiple prizes to everybody that gets it right.  Which should be everybody this time, because this one is so WAY easy.

Let's start this off with an easy one that EVERYBODY should know.  But just ONE piece of one line (because this one is so WAY easy).

...You know he always got an extra pack of cigarettes rolled up in his T-shirt sleeve...

Good luck!

NAME THAT FILM!

.

Hey y'all!  Well, I decided to start a new feature here at Andy's Place called, "Name That Tune."  It's gonna be real good, too.

Dadman gave me permission to steal it off of him because he's been doing it on The Facebook for a while, and it's really fun, and he said that he didn't really invent "Name That Tune," and I believe him because he does not lie.  In this feature (which is soon to come), I'm gonna give you a couple of lines from a song, and you're gonna get to test your song knowledge wits to see if you can figure out what song it is.  (Title, and Artist)

And, they're gonna be hard, too.  I mean, I'm gonna be throwing obscure lyrics at y'all.  Now, the ground rules are that NO ONE can gooblecheat.  If you do, I will know, and you will not win our fabulous virtual prize that I'm working on.  Trust me...it's fabulous...and virtual.  So, only honest injuns need apply.

But, I decided to do something different from our normal "Name That Tune" on our opening episode, and go with a "NAME THAT FILM!" instead.

Now, y'all long-time visitors, and friends know that I don't really look at films much.  It's a long, long story that I won't re-tell, but there are only 7 or 8 films I've looked at in the last 20 years, so this should be pretty easy for y'all to narrow down.

Now, The Mrs., on the other hand, looks at films all the time.  She has about two thousand tapes of films that she looks at regularly.  And, I sometimes look at one with her...which I just did this afternoon.  So, the answer to this quiz is a film that I watched this afternoon.  I've actually seen it a few times with her, and like it real good.

It stars two of my favorite film stars of all time.  One is Kevin Costner.  Now, I really don't like him so much in this film as I do when we look at "The Postman."  I swear, I've seen "The Postman" at least three dozen times, and I can quote most all of the lines from it.  I really like it when Tom Petty says to The Postman, "Nahhhh, dude...you're famous!"  I really like that.  And, I think my favorite character in "The Postman" is Ford Lincoln Mercury (you know...the young negro kid that wanted to drive a car one day, and who became a heroic Postman in Costner's quest to get mail delivered and all...yeah, him).

The other big star in this film is Butch Cassidy.  Man, I love each and every Butch Cassidy film, including this one.  He's one of my favorite actors, especially when he was in "The Sting."  I love that film, and we have it on tape, too.

So, that's about enough about that.  Here are the lines.  Oh wait...I forgot to tell y'all that there is a heroine/gal in this film, too.  And, when you read "Her:" you'll know that this is the gal talking.  Here we go!

Her:  So, now I just go back to my job, and my son...and you'll just forget about me?


Him: (Kevin Costner...that's an extra clue, btw):  Every day!
