I did finally catch your change in subject title, but even so I was lost. So I ran scruffy-looking through the Google directory for movies. The first response was for The French Witch Project. As I am of French descent, I am wondering whether I should be insulted. wink e Top #137760 - 07/03/06 11:21 AM Re: Parts needed: Native speakers of movie lines Aramis addict Registered: 05/17/05 Posts: 456 Loc: SE US Certainly not! Shirley, no poster here ever thought 'Jackie' and 'scruffy' belonged in the same sentence, regardless of ancestry. Perhaps looking up "I gotta bad feeling about this" and "Laugh it up, fuzzball" would be more enlightening. Those are pretty old movies now but still have one of the most inspiring characters ever.

But you got me back with poster, so we're even! Ha! Top #137762 - 07/05/06 03:03 PM Re: Parts needed: Native speakers of movie lines Aramis addict Registered: 05/17/05 Posts: 456 Loc: SE US So, in a Kafka-esque moment of realization, unobservant Aramis surmises from "first response" that the the film actually alluded to was found. Top #137763 - 01/22/07 09:46 AM Re: Parts needed: Native speakers of movie lines ParkinT enthusiast Registered: 10/30/06 Posts: 293 Loc: Orlando My favorite line from that same movie, though, is: "Boring conversation anyway.." Actually that sequence that leads up to it makes that the punchline. I was there, in 1977, standing on line at the Lowe's Astor Plaza in New York; among the first to see Star Wars . That was long before it became a "sensation". A group of us, who were fans of the director from his earlier work (he was an unknown to the general public) had read about the movie being made in American Cinematographer magazine and made a long drive from Southern New Jersey to see the opening. Not yet a Blockbuster. We stayed in the theater to see it a second time (you were able to do that back in the 70's). And Movie theaters in America were not the shoeboxes of today. </reminiscing> _________________________ "I am certain there is too much certainty in the world" -Michael Crichton Top #186488 - 08/14/09 06:36 AM Re: Participants needed: native speakers of English [Re: ] Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13803 It's also over four years old. I think the study is all done, wrapped up with a pretty pink bow, and moldering somewhere in some locked file cabinet in Inner Academia. The bit bucket the webpage went into was emptied a long time ago.
