I was going to congratulate you on the intricately-fabricated IMDB trivia but then I went to IMDB and now I need a shower.

The Squirrel Who Punched His Dad In The Neck (Old Lunch), Saturday, 28 November 2015 03:40 (eight years ago) link

The scene of Sharon Stone's character cutting her husband's hair (played by William H. Macy) was not in the script. Stone was to pantomime cutting the hair, but she actually snipped his hair. Macy's visibly tense reaction to the haircut was real.

At the beginning of the film, when Lou Ivon (Jay O. Sanders) comes into the office of Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) to tell him that President Kennedy has been shot, Costner's horrified reaction to the news is real, Stone having kept the plot of the movie a secret from the cast. Sanders' broken expression is likewise real, Stone having told him just before the cameras rolled that Kennedy had been shot in Dallas.

Why did I think Garrison in JFK heard about it in a restaurant, with some heckler in the background going I'm glad he's dead!

I just discovered the Cinemorgue wiki which is a treasure trove of death scene trivia. Particularly: http://cinemorgue.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Death_scenes_by_cause_of_death

Eckrich® Pickled Pig Doin's (Old Lunch), Saturday, 26 March 2016 15:34 (eight years ago) link

Some of those categories are fantastic. I think my favorite is 'death scenes by ceasing to exist'.

Eckrich® Pickled Pig Doin's (Old Lunch), Saturday, 26 March 2016 15:49 (eight years ago) link

• Shot (in the throat and head) while riding in his motorcade beside Blair Brown.

• Destroyed when Linda Hamilton crushes him in an industrial press in an empty factory.

• Sacrifices himself by having Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong lower him down into an iron foundry and being melted so that the futuristic technology of his android body won't be misused.

• Destroyed in an explosion after he places a bomb in Kristanna Loken's mouth to destroy them both.

This filmed was originally conceived as a drama with Daniel Day-Lewis originally attached to play as Gilmore, Sean Connery as Chubs, and Richard Gere as Shooter McGavin. During pre-production, both Geare and Day-Lewis left the project, and the script was retooled as a comedy vehicle for Adam Sandler. After Sandler was cast as Happy Gilmore, Sean Connery also left the project.

WTF at that Happy Gilmore trivia. Who knew. I've never been able to find it again but I read something ages ago about Pauly Shore's Jury Duty similarly mutating from a psychological thriller into the thing it ultimately became.

There must be some magic clue inside these gentle walls (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 29 June 2016 13:01 (seven years ago) link

See also John Gregory Dunne's 'Monster', about how he and Joan Didion wrote the screenplay for the movie about the real-life death of a journalist, which ended up being hollywoodised into a romantic comedy.

any sources back up the happy gilmore thing? its writers were adam sandler and a guy who only writes adam sandler movies.

A real website was created for Jimmy's business in the show. The fictional business, Saul Goodman Productions, can be seen by typing in the name of the business with no spaces between the words.

Wait, can you do this with other words too?

James Cameron's brother, Mike Cameron, plays a dead crewman inside the sunken submarine. To accomplish this he had to hold his breath under 25 feet of water while also allowing a crab to crawl out of his mouth. The shot took five takes, and Mike had to crush the crab twice because Jim took too long to set the lights.

Trivia for Howard the Duck

When the movie was broadcast on TV3 in New Zealand in 1997, during the sequence which Howard and Phil are chased by the police on a aircraft, a caption appeared on the screen informing viewers that the movie was about to be interrupted by a newsflash and that Princess Diana had died. Princess Diana was tragically killed in a car crash in Paris, France and died at the age of 36. In the Marvel comics, there was a character called Diana Prince was a Olympian goddess who was brought to life from clay by Themyscira in 1967 and fought crime with her foster sister Ororo. Later, Diana Prince went to American and crossed paths with The Punisher, which they had a son together called Ryan and later broke up.

Hmm, checks out.

When Adrienne Clark says she has two words for Margo Adams, she says: "she's fired". Technically, that's 3 words and the viewer can see Jim hesitating to correct her on that.
