I have Crossing Delancey and Green Card (shut up. I love the apartment. And the roof garden. And the composing on the spot scene is great. As is Bebe Neuwirth) on tape, and an unreliable vcr. I need to find them on dvd.
I never saw Animal House. Or The Blues Brothers. I have seen and read enough refs to and from them, though, that I totally grok the latter and can benignly overlook the former. Nerds, however? I & II? Oh yeah. I can't *not* recite the, "Clap your hands, everybody! Everybody clap your hands" faux rap from the techno talent show act at the end of I. Mark Greene, Elliot Weston, onstage together. Who'da thunk?
Beverly - I love Green Card for the apartment and the roof garden too.
Montichello!
Is it sad that I still know the name of the face cream that was the cause of their INS undoing?
Yes. I think it is.
I still don't get why that was a problem. I thought INS assumed people studied for the fucking interview. why is this an issue?
How did I miss that Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut opens on Friday? What a cast!

THANK YOU!
I was all, umm, my parents have been married for DECADES (and Mom's green card was a gift-with-purchase with Dad's, as I recall, which is neither nor there) and I don't think my dad could name her face cream. Isn't the realistic married person answer "I dunno. That fucking stinky overpriced one that makes her look like a greasebomb when she comes to bed."
Green Card is one of those movies I only saw because I was trapped on an airplane and out of books.
It does seem to me that rather than having all their answers match up, a couple would be wise to mismatch them slightly and then argue about their different recollections.
"No,your favorite color is red! You said so when I bought you that fluffy hat last Christmas!" "I didn't want to hurt your feelings! Have you seen me wear the thing on one occasion since that night?"
heck I can't even name my own face cream. I buy whatever's on sale.
& Oh yeah: My parents have been married 48 years. Last week my Mom was stumped when someone asked her what color my Dad's eyes are.
Mine just had their 47th anniversary,and they have that scary pseudo-telepathy thing where each knows what the other is thinking. Of course, since neither one can remember the name of something to save their lives, there wouldn't be much concrete information forthcoming for INS-style questions.
Mom would probably get Dad's favorite color right, unless he's forgotten that it's blue...
