I’m thinking of a movie that is about a sharpshootin’ insecticide sprayer, and it rhymes with a popular science fiction movie about a futuristic gumshoe/detective/assassin.

I don’t know the answer, but don’t you think Ritalin Rain would be a great name for a rock band?

Besides, this is my 200th post so I can do whatever I want.

Possibly, but don’t you think A Great Name For a Rock Band would be a great name for a rock band?

And I have to leave that last one open to let some other people take a crack at it.

Fair Course Run?  
Racers of the Boss Park?  
Gimme a hint, what decade?

Now that I think about it, Ritalin Rain might be too Scooby-esque.

Robot Arm stumped me! Damn, you guys picked up on this too fast.

I’m thinking of a movie which is about southeast Asians becoming hysterically afraid, and it rhymes with a movie about a disaster from the early part of the 1900’s.

I’m thinking of a movie about…

flirting at a dinner party, and it rhymes with a Dustin Hoffman movie.  
a dirty laundromat, and it rhymes with a Woody Allen movie.  
ordinary germs and cars, and it rhymes with a Steve Martin movie.  
(my favorite)New Year’s Eve party dresses for gamblers, and it rhymes with a Johnny Depp movie.  
And I’m thinking if I come up with enough good ones, I’ll send them in to an NPR show that does this kind of thing, if nobody minds.

The D.A.R.E Bitch Project.

I don’t know if I’m any good at this, but…

I’m thinking of a movie about the possible eastern-royalty ancestry of a kitchen implement, which rhymes with a Sean Connery/Michael Caine movie.
