Both movies were made in the 70s?

Christ, this is even more pointless than the fix-me I took with questions about Full Metal Jacket .

I don't think I have seen either one.

don't know, don't care

I havent got a chance to see either.

oh wait, I take that back, I did have a chance to see Annie Hall, but I ended up just not seeing it. Probabbly a bad move on my part.

This is too easy!

Oh yeah? Then what's the answer, smarty?

Beverly D'Angelo, Jeff Goldblum, and Christopher Walken. They were in both of the movies.

*applause*

*bowing* Thank you, thank you! Why don't you make it a bit more difficult next time. Here's a question for you to ponder. What is Gilligan's first name? (from Gilligan's Island, of course).

Have no clue. Never heard of The Sentinel, Annie Hall and all Woody Allen movies suck.

I could go to IMDB.com and look this up....but I could really care less....

Nya Nya -- make you say Goldblum

Soooo...that's supposed to be a bad thing? I happen to like Jeff Goldblum.

Blasphemer!

I am HOT for him -- he's really tall. I like that. I am 5'.

I'm shorter than you are...I'm not even 5' tall!

Blasphemer. Annie Hall is a work of genius. So are rouhgly 80% of all Woody Allen movies (Picking Up The Pieces and Curse of the Jade Scorpion did suck though, you'll get no argument there).

How the hell should I know, I haven't seen either

Rumor has it Gilligan's first name was Willy, but I'm not sure how verifiable that is. The skipper was Jonas Grumby and the Professor was Roy Hinkley.

Sorry, I never like Woody Allen. Either his personality or any of his quirky films. I'm not a fan of movies where just 'talking' is the main feature. I don't like humor either, and especially not his kind.

Not liking humour is a filterable offense round these parts boy!

Sounds strange from someone who totally freaked when Bush won re-election. That's more my style in films - anger, depression, violence. I'd take a good suspense, drama, action or crime film over any funny movie. I don't do science fiction either. That died for me with the modern Star Trek/Lord of the Rings garbage. Give me the sci-fi movies of the 50's and 60's I grew up with. I still remember the classics - The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, Kronos, The Day of the Triffids are a few. Corny by today's standards but the best.

That's correct. It was only mentioned once, in the seldom seen pilot episode.

I LOVE those old sci-fi movies!

I remember Christopher Walken's bit in "Annie Hall". I loved that bit. Christopher Walken is cool! I'm not sure that I saw "The Sentinel".

I was going to pick it anyway, but I had to check out "The Sentinel" to see if it was the film I thought it was. It was so long ago, that I was getting it confused with "The Omen" and "Damien: Omen II" which came out at about the same time. I don't remember Christopher Walken in "The Sentinel". I forgot that Jeff Goldblum was in either of them I don't think I knew who he was until "The Fly". I don't know who Beverly D'Angelo is although the name sounds kind of familiar. So I kind of cheated, but as I said, I was going to guess that one anyway.

You haven't seen "Annie Hall"?!! It's a classic! Not one of my very favourite Woody Allen films, but still one of his best and probably his most popular and well-known.

I always thought that Gilligan was his first name...and Sisland was his last name!

Nope...silly!

http://imdb.com/name/nm0000350/ This may refresh your memory. She played Chevy Chase's wife in the National Lampoon "Vacation" movies (Vacation, Christmas Vacation, European Vacation, Vegas Vacation).

Oh! Okay. Yeah I saw the first "Vacation" and the "European Vacation" and "Aria" although I don't remember her in that.

I didn't see "Aria".

It was good. It was sort of like "Spirits of the Dead" in that it had a number of segments that were, in effect, completely separate films with different directors, actors etc.. but with a unifying theme. In that case it was Edgar Allan Poe, in this case it was Arias. Quite a few great directors too! Robert Altman, Jean-Luc Godard, Nicolas Roeg, Ken Russell...

You have seen "Spirits of the Dead"? I seem to recall you liked Poe.

I will check to see if they have it at the video store. I have never even heard of it.

It sounds familiar, so I've probably seen it and yes, I LOVE Poe!

? Eh. Guess I'm not as snobbish as I thought.

"Aria", I'd say there's a good chance. "Spirits of the Dead", I think is the better of the two, but you would probably only find it in a really good video store.

I couldn't remember where you lived. I just checked your User Page to see if it was there. Is that a bowl of gyoza?!!

I saw it on TV several times when I was a kid. The Fellini, "Toby Dammit" is the most memorable. Terence Stamp plays an drunken English film director who is haunted by visions of a little girl he believes to be Satan. Near the end, he's racing around an Italian city at night in a Ferrari.

Every time I think of Terence Stamp I think of him as General Zod morphing into his character in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert! It's hard to think of him playing brutal, nasty General Zod in Superman and then seeing him as a transvestite in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. I've always enjoyed his work, but given the description you've given me, I don't think I've seen that movie. The plot doesn't sound the least bit familiar.

I think you would like it.

Maybe-it would depend on how Fellini-like it is. I'm not a big fan of Fellini.

Oh, then maybe you wouldn't. It does contain some of Fellini's famous "party sequences".

Ugh...definitely not then! I've never been able to get into Fellini's style. I guess I like a different style. For Italian directors, I do like Mario Bava and Dario Argento.

I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and it is a plate of breasts

Well, I'm sure Cincinnati has at one decent video store.

Raw chicken breasts, right? Now that I know that, they don't look nearly as much like gyoza.

I was not allowed to post a picture of the real thing

Oh right, I had forgotten about that. Is there a place on the site where bill came right out and said "No"?

I filter him but I unfiltered a comment on the post a picture of my penis survey and he said don't do it
