It's been a while since I saw this movie, but I remember it fondly :D In regards to the Mozart thing, perhaps it is both a reference to Amadeus, as many have already mentioned, but maybe also since the mob boss is called Vivaldi, it might be a small gag? I don't remember if there are other composer references though, so I could be way off on that part, but the Amadeus thing is probably the most likely

Robert Cooper

Ok, George's confusion tells me you really need to see Amadeus.

Also, 555 exchange is reserved for numbers used by the phone company itself. 555-1212 is the same as 411 directory assistance, for example. Movies used 555 numbers because if you called them, you wouldn't actually bother a real person.

No, 555 numbers are not generally issued. The only 555 number I know is 555-1212 for directory assistance (like 411).

The La Brea Tar Pits are naturally occurring asphalt seeps near downtown LA that captured a lot of animals over the last 20,000 years. An enormous number of Dire Wolf skulls have been extracted from the pits along with Giant Sloths, Saber-toothed Cats, and Mastodons. https://tarpits.org/

"He looks like an alien" interesting comment. I hope you get to watch more MiB. No reason

However, sometimes real numbers are used that would, at the time of the movie’s release play a recording related to the film (basically a sort of advertising or marketing) but every once in awhile a real number is used (chosen at random at the time, perhaps?) that would be someone’s private line or is now a real, in-use number. I can think of several movies in my collection with non-555 numbers.

Simone should expand her vocabulary because i will die laughing from magic something and something something it is so hilarious dont do this to me guys :D

Sol-Edge

I love this movie, man this brings back memories

Nate Gavin

Another excellent Charles Dance movies from the 80s - The Golden Child!

Conan the Destroyer was a PG rated mess that was rushed into production with a hack writer and director who had no understanding of the character or his world.

Cool trivia: early in the film, when the kid is watching Hamlet in school and the teacher rolls her eyes as she explains who Laurence Olivier is, saying you might know him from Clash of the Titans… Olivier (a noted classical actor) was mocked and embarrassed for playing such hammy part in a cheesy movie… the actress playing the teacher who rolled her eyes when mentioning Olivier being in Clash of the Titans was Joan Plowright… Laurence Olivier’s wife.

Brendan Rafferty

Actor Chevy Chase has a cameo that lasts two seconds. He was famous for doing broad comedic falls when he was a cast member on Saturday Night Live. His entire two second cameo in this film is doing a broad comedic fall at the movie premiere as Jack Slater pushes him out of the way

Brendan Rafferty

Yes. There were many great old movie theaters in Time’s Square that were enormous and multi tiered and beautifully decorated. Long gone now

Jeff Barnes

I still watch TV-TV. I have cable with upper tier channels, but no premium channels. I still have a VCR too. And its hooked up. I don't know why I almost feel embarrassed writing that.

So you've enjoyed this movie directed by John McTiernan. As well as Predator, Die Hard, and The Hunt for Red October. Surely The 13th Warrior (1999) is the logical next step... (Do it, if only to assuage my sadness at George not mentioning Anthony Quinn as part of the stacked cast.)

REDR58

And Red Sonja is basically a Conan movie with Arnold playing Conan with a different name.

Don’t feel embarrassed. When I moved into my house I found a Winegard antenna in the attic that has a sticker on it saying it’s for “Black and White and Color TV”! So it’s at least 40 years old. The antenna works perfectly for digital TV with my various TVs in the house and even makes the FM receiver (which I still use!) on my home theater equipment actually useful.

They don't use real phone numbers in (most) movies because crazy people call them. Even from songs. The owners of 862-4368 tried to sue AC/DC because of the huge number of crank calls they received after the song "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" was released (which actually says 36-24-36-Hey!)

FrancescoTakesItEasy

I haven't watched regular TV for over a decade now, but the main reason is that almost all of the media I consume is in English, but I'm from Germany, and I don't wanna watch stuff that has been dubbed. Also, I have almost 1,000 movies and counting on disc on my shelf, plus about 100 seasons of TV, and I subscribe to a bunch of streaming services, so there really is no need to have access to regular TV for me.

Definitely looks like Amadeus needs to be added to the list. Fantastic movie, but as has been stated previously, not historically accurate.

It's your friendly neighborhood fossil here. I worked as a movie usher back in the 1980s. I think it was my sophomore year of college and that summer I worked at a garden store during the day and the movie theater at night. The establishment had two cinemas. I think usher was a bit of a grandiose title. I helped dish out the popcorn before the movie and cleaned up between the seats after the movie, and in-between I spent the entire summer standing in the back, watching the same three movies, Richard Pryor and John Candy in Brewster's Millions, Porky's Revenge (starring nobody you've heard of), and Weird Science. This was the summer of Back To the Future and Goonies and I got to watch the bottom of the barrel. Don't bother polling on these. Nobody wants to watch them. (maybe Weird Science, but probably not.) I must have seen each one a dozen times or more. I don't know when ushers disappeared, but after that summer the theater was torn down and replaced with a 14-screen multiplex without ushers.

I worked as a movie Usher till this time next year. No fancy uniform I just took tickets and made sure people stayed off the phones and didn't talk during the film

F Murrey Abraham won an Oscar for AMEDEUS as Salieri. Salieri was a composer at the same time as Mozart who at the end of his life suffering from dementia would claim he killed Mozart. That idea became a play (Ian McKellen actually originated the Salieri role on stage) and that became a great film

Also, no one appears to have mentioned it but the stuff with Death is a real movie from Sweden called THE SEVENTH SEAL which was of those movies that always shows up in greatest of all time lists

And this was panned at the time. They thought it would crater Arnold’s career.

I’d probably pick Oscar. As long as I didn’t end up as one of Vendetti’s henchmen, it’d be pretty cool. And most rom coms are fairly safe.

My luck, I’d get dragged to a retro screening of Wicker Park and wind up randomly screaming “What the hell is WRONG with you people?!” As a random waiter in a restaurant or an audience member in a play. Shoot. I was so excited by the question, I forgot how Patreon’s paragraph system works.

speaking of running thru different genres, there is a movie called "Stay Tuned" with John Ritter & Pam Dawber as a suburban couple who get a new satellite system from hell, literally (devilish baddie played by the principal from Ferris Buellers Day Off) who have to run a gauntlet of shows to survive. game shows, animation, etc. I thought it was pretty fun. but definitely not a popular movie

Segue to the previous poll: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLvyZJZMYpw Clip from Blues Brothers 2000, with the song John the Revelator. And as to the movie itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vx9AdRqab4 And continuing with Ingmar Bergman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqv_qYBgEk0

The principal being played by Jeffrey Jones, whom they also saw in The Hunt for Red October. He also appears in Amadeus, which is getting some deserved love in these comments. (I see no need to rehash his personal issues.)

Did they miss Robert Patrick?

BubblyRainbows

He was also in "Howard the Duck." I didn't realize he was in "Amadeus," which I never saw, and even though I did see "The Hunt for Red October," I don't remember him being in it at all.

I love how you two did this right around when the film turned 30! June 18, 1993 it premiered across the US.

Ashley Minor

I was actually an usher who worked up to a projectionist in the 00s.

Endling_king

God I havent thought about "Stay Tuned" in so damn long. ugh, I may need to rewatch that!
