No comments, yet? I guess it must just be you. I'll have to check out that film. Is it as funny as The Jerk?

#19643: — 03/24  at  06:25 PM
Oooo! Oooo! My favourite movie quote is from The Man with Two Brains:

Into the mud, Scum-Queen!!!!


(Second favourite - "Fancy a quickie before I put on my beard?". Third favourite - "I just taken an elephant-sized dump". A small prize* for anyone who can correctly identify the two movies. Clue - they're by the same director.)

*A night out for two with PZ Meyerz. Second prize, two nights out.

Oh, pointy bird, oh pointy pointy;
anoint my head, anointy 'nointy.

(Get that cat out of here!)

Andy,

I know the second one, but it's the only film by that director that I've seen. Isn't it a trick question, though? His films are in French; the characters never actually speak those lines.

It was my immediate thought. I guess it's a cohort thing for Boomers...

What are they saying?

Oh, they're just saying "murmur murmur".

OMG, Hammesfahr just wants Schiavo's body for his brain in a jar!

#19650: PZ Myers — 03/24  at  07:51 PM
Maybe he loves her brain.

I missed that he claims to be a Nobel nominee. This guy just gets better and better...

PZ, I hereby nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize for Biology!

#19689: Hank Fox — 03/25  at  01:54 AM
If I remember correctly, the Nobel Committee itself never reveals the names of nominees, so the only way someone gets to be publicly-known as a "Nobel nominee" is for the nominator (or the person) to release that information. Whoever does it, it's sheerly for self-serving reasons -- in which case, there's room for doubt that it's even true.

Ryan, re: the humor of The Man With Two Brains. It was pretty funny, IMHO. It's also one of those movies that you find yourself quoting years later, like the bad-but-weirdly-unforgettable Johnny Dangerously. <You bastiges!>

PLease, there is a Nobel Peace prize, awarded in Oslo (capital of Norway) and then there are Nobel prizes in medicine, literature etc., awarded in Stockholm ( the capital of Sweden). THERE IS NO NOBEL PEACE PRIZE IN MEDICINE OR LITERATURE or anything else. Just the Nobel Peace Prize, in peace, nothing else.
It´s hard enough living in Sweden as an expat american as it is.

Impress friends and colleagues. Wow the hot chicks and the Right Wing press. Be the first on your block to possess a Nobel Prize in (fill in the blank) Nomination (suitable for framing). Send $5.00 (plus $3.00 S/H) to…

I've always wanted a Nobel Prize for Partying Down, personally.

#19732: — 03/25  at  11:12 AM
I heard the physician's congressman or senator wrote a letter "nominating" him for a Nobel Prize. The fact that not just anyone can officially nominate people for a Nobel Prize is never mentioned.

Ryan - The films aren't in French.

#19746: Ryan — 03/25  at  12:43 PM
Andy,

Did I say French? I meant to say that I don't know what I'm talking about. Isn't one of the films titled Talk to Her?

#19762: dancinfool — 03/25  at  01:32 PM
Brain in a jar? You mean something like this?

#19764: — 03/25  at  01:34 PM
When Terry Schiavo dies (or, more correctly, finally completes the process of dying) expect to see editorial cartoons that show her standing in front of the pearly gates and St. Peter saying, "What kept you?"

#19770: — 03/25  at  01:43 PM
Ryan,

Yep, the second one is from "Talk to Her". If you can't get the first one, you still win the night out with Dr. Meyerz, but fooling around will not be permitted.
