Schindler's Liszt?

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!

This is one of two films in which a character played by Jerry O'Connell has his penis bitten off. The other is Piranha 3D (2010).

Sounds like a movie night!

Man, I must've suppressed the details of that leech scene.

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

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

• 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.

Steve Buscemi: Shot repeatedly by soldiers whilst he's dying of an exotic leprosy-like flesh-eating disease in the jungle, after Roger Daltrey tricks him into going into an off-limits area.

I... I did not see this episode of Tales from the Crypt.

it's an ok episode but has some outstanding gross body horror sfx. roger daltrey's nose falls off at the end.

That's what the Tommy movie was missing... clothespins.

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.

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.

"In real life, Adam Sandler is terrible at both hockey and golf."

not trivia but content advisory

Numerous scenes of Chinese girls getting fucked mercilessly.

There are occasional derogatory and colloquial references to peoples parentage.

Goofs: Though the "girls of the road" are supposed to be broke, sleeping outdoors and living on the thin edge of starvation, they all have perfectly permed hair and plucked eyebrows.

really want to see this

Taglines: A Christian horror film that's in tents.

If I calculated correctly, the body count is 69.

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?

other urls too?

It's amazing what you can find on the World Wide Web.

... raises hand...

OK, I put it there, but it got accepted, so ner.

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.

Michelle Pfeiffer, Timothy Hutton, Patrick Cassidy, and Ursula Andress were offered roles in this film. (It's easy to see why they turned it down!)

Somebody's recently (?) added the simple trivia "Voluptuous Figure" to a bunch of actresses' pages on the site.

Along with Mr. Bean, Pee-Wee Herman, Ernest P. Worrell and Ed Grimley, The Muppet Babies are considered to be one of the greatest family entertainers of all time.

i saw one like that while looking through the ernest oeuvre

Rockford Files s2e5 “The Deep Blue Sleep”

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.

Damn -- didn't realize this was for IMDB trivia.

I'm a Canadian born in '77 and these are the answers I feel somewhat confident about:

1. Trudeau & Clark
2. Nixon and Agnew, Nixon and Ford, Ford and someone, Carter and someone. So 6 people in total?
8. Mia Farrow
10. Patty Hearst

#4 - Mary Tyler Moore Show finale?

Sorry, didn't have the share settings right; you should be able to look at the answers now.

HH -- #2 is a bit of a trick question: it's an odd number.
VG -- Haven't had anyone get #4 yet; I wouldn't call it a trick question, but the right answer is somewhat counter-intuitive as to what "series" means (it's a show, though, not a sporting event).

#4 gotta be one of the episodes of the Roots miniseries
#5 - "You Light Up My Life" by Debbie Boone
