There's another more famous quote from that same movie:

"Why don't you come up sometime and see me?"

Anybody want to take a shot on it??????????????

Might as well give it away

You can add the line before that one
I always did like a man in a uniform. That one fits you grand.

"Hamlet;" Laurence Olivier.

Never saw it and have no interest in seeing it. Shakespeare is just not my thing--ever.

Ok guys, how about this one (an oldie)

Here's one from an Academy Award winning film:

"Alas, poor Yorick!  I knew him, Horatio."

Try as I might, I have no clue as to this. I evened googled it and they have no clue. Sorry.

Great minds must think alike, LOL. Your suspicions were exactly as mine. I told my girlfriend over and over it was Sutherland and each week, something added to that suspicion. I figured he planted the hammer and did everything possible to point the finger at Grant...who, like you said, hated him. He actually passionately despised him and seemed he wanted his daughter all to himself.

As far as when the wife figured it out, I think (being a professional therapist/psychologist) she had an understanding of human behavior so well, she knew as soon as Grant's mother called her on the phone and explained about his sister that everything she thought about Grant was wrong and that he had a great ability to hide his true self. Grant's lack of interest or his ability to hide any emotion regarding his sister doesn't add up to a "caring, empathetic, and loving" person. In fact, it's the trademark of a psychopath.

Agreed, but try an I might, even though she was a psychiatrist and understand human behavior, and then realizing that the man she married showed no remorse, but he had to show love and tenderness etc. He wasn't a so-called mindless, remorseless zombie. AND that doesn't make him a killer. Sure she was pissed at him but she still stuck by him until that point.
Her lawyer wanted suspicion pointed at the dead girl's husband. he really had the most interest in seeing her dead. I still can't get how that proverbial 'lightbulb' went off in Kidman's mind, and the plot was hatched. Throughout the show, you couldn't be definitely sure it wasn't the other husband. Granted that Hugh Grant's story was so ridiculous, he was there, they made love, he left, then came back--silly, but people did believe it.

And we are so attuned to never suspect the obvious, that we look for, who is the most unlikely guy to be the murderer--Sutherland, that we immediately go right there. Good stuff anyway.

PS, ever get to watch the last season of Fargo?

On everyone's recommendation, I finally got to watch this series and agree 100% it was great. I refrained from reading this thread as I wanted to know nothing and go in with a clear mind. Just an excellent watch. Kidman is always good, I loved Hugh Grant as the 'bad guy'. I'm so used to seeing him play those innocent guys in silly comedies, and, of course, Donald Southerland was superb.

So my take, I watch so many of those old crime dramas, Agatha Christy stories etc. etc. that in my mind whomever the obvious killer is, it's usually not them, so I basically eliminated the husband right from the get-go. I also had Southerland as the killer. He had all the motivation, the money and he was perfect as the killer. Each show gave me more and more reason to suspect him. His wife recently passes, he loved the fact that his daughter and grandson were coming to live with him, he hated the husband and the list could go on. The hammer planted at his beach house. He WAS the killer. I really never thought that the son was the killer even when the hammer was found in his violin case. That was just too easy. I did, for a couple of moments think Kidman could really be the killer, as a sort of dual personality. She would have been a second choice.

Maybe I missed the 'plan' as I never really put it all together as you explained, but reading it, it sure as hell was the perfect plan. My question though, how or why did she 'suddenly' figure it out, as opposed to believing him. What made her suddenly know it was her husband and maybe not the victim's husband?

Also, I agree with the poster who said that it was simply unbelievable that the husband killed the woman so suddenly, in fits of rage over basically nothing, and NEVER showed any sort of anger, ever in their 15 years of marriage.

Anyway, a good watch, so thanks for the recommendation.

OK It doesn't get any easier than this

Is this heaven?

It's Iowa.

Iowa? I could have sworn this was heaven.

Batman. 1989. Directed by Tim Burton. 

One of the biggest lines of the Movie from Jack Nicholson.

I also loved the Soundtrack. Partyman was my favourite at the time.
And Prince was a f**king genious anyways. A visionary with his music.

Again, correct.

Out of all the Batman movies, to me anyway, this one was the best. Gimmicky--for sure, but I just LOVED Nickolson as The Joker. The movie just came alive whenever he was on screen. The movie was done tongue in cheek.

I also loved Heath Ledger as the Joker in The Dark Knight, but he was sinister and was just perfect in that role, while Nicholson was playing it for laughs.

Try this one. Again, not a softball, but the line has clues to the movie (I watched this over the weekend)

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it, always.

Another real softball

Larry

I don't think it is 'the clock' as much as it is the world itself. With each year, each natural disaster, each pandemic, we are inch9ing closer and closer to armageddon.
I read a story about this so-called clock. They unveil it once every year and each year we get closer and closer, some years by what one might say. leaps and bounds' and other years by a snail's pace. But the thought, overall, is that we are headed for some sort of armageddon if we keep living the way we have, and I don't just mean US, this goes for the entire world. Maybe it was their way of making a point--a la Doomsday Clock.

And a few more to laugh at

Thanks for those tips, Len.

I do like the before/after shots and I'll continue doing those. Our top service is the paint correction and ceramic coating. I probably need to do a better job of highlighting sections instead of full shots.

I'll try and work on backgrounds. But because my shop is in a storage garage lot, there isn't much around for good shots aside from the couple of trees outside.

Tim

You could always move the cars, like drive them to a more appealing area, maybe a few trees or whatever, again, not to detract from the product you are trying to sell.

Found it - softball for me (sorry for not seeing before):

Blade Runner. 1982. With Harrison Ford.

The Monologue is absolutely epic; "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannh

Lenny, please tell me that you don't actually believe all this garbage.

Jim

Please don't tell me that you absolutely rule it out?
