Holy shit! That thing’s real!
I have Ghostbusters practically memorized, but I can’t for the life of me ever remember seeing that scene.
I’ll just offer one more “possible” clue. I say possible because I freely admit I may be reading a bit too much into it, but the Folksmen (note the name BTW, Folksmen) have a signature song - “Eat At Joe’s” about a diner whose neon light is shorting out, and so Shearer’s character sings a famous line “Ea- a- -oe’s” making fun of what the neon spells out. But there may be a hidden foreshadowing there - “Joe” had something snipped off…
I realize that’s kind of a stretch, but after all this movie isn’t shy about it’s double entendres (“There’s a Mighty Wind…blowin’ from YOU and MEEEEE!”)
Let me guess. You’ve only seen this movie on TV, never at the cinema. right?
The scene is cut out when it’s shown on TV. At least it is on UK terrestrial TV.
I bet you haven’t heard the ‘dickless’ joke either.
I was two years old when Ghostbusters was released, so of course I’ve never seen it in the theater. But I own the DVD and have watched it multiple times. That scene has never stuck with me for some reason.
Bonus nitpicking: The “dickless” line is in the TV edit.
Is it? Every time I’ve seen it on (UK) TV the line is changed to this:
A couple of paintings in Magnum P.I.: one showing bare breasts a la Gaugin, and another of non-explicit tentacle porn.
You do realize that’s not what that line is, right?
It’s from a movie I’d rather forget, but Steve Buscemi’s pedophilia in Armageddon is a WTF moment.
first of all, the aforementioned scene happened in Revenge of the Sith. it’s been pointed out above that the prequels don’t really qualify for this thread since they were such a hot mess, but i had to address this.
i hardly think this scene qualifies as a WTF moment. to me such a moment is something that comes the fuck out of nowhere and takes you out of the movie/show/etc. every star wars fan knew this scene was coming. the entire prequel trilogy built up this scene. as for the decision he ultimately makes, he knows whatever he chooses, it’s wrong, but i think when it came down to it he just couldn’t bring himself to kill anakin, but he knew he couldn’t save him, either.
??? I’ve only seen that movie once, not long after it came out…and don’t remember anything of the sort.
I believe he’s referring to this exchange:
Rockhound: Harry!
Harry Stamper: What?
Rockhound: Man, I swear to God, she never told me her age.
So he’s not so much a pedophile. It’s more likely he slept with a girl who he later found out was 17.
I thought he was conflating Armageddon and Con-Air. Wasn’t Buscemi a pedophile who actually gets away in the movie?
I’d missed this one, but Pepper Mill pointed it out to me.
In the very first season of the original Star Trek, in the e[pisode [i\]The Naked Time*, where everyone catches the virus that makes them act uninhibited, and Sulu runs around bare-chested with an epee*, he goes over to Uhura and says “I’ll protect you, fair maiden.”
To which Uhura answers, “Sorry. Neither.”
*George Takei was reportedly too much in love with swashbuckling with that epee, and was a danger on the set. Years later he co-authored Mirror Friend, Mirror Foe with Robert Lynn Asprin, about a future ninja with a sword that seems to be based on Takei’s obsession with swordplay. No double entendre intended.
Tommy Lee Jones. Busey was on the receiving end of the guns at the time.
He was a serial killer, possibly cannibal, but not a pedophile or rapist, IIRC.
I only say this because at one point in the movie, John Malkovich’s character is talking to Danny Trejo’s about how he thinks rapists are the scum of the earth…yeah, way to act all high and mighty there, multiple-murderer. :rolleyes:
But he also talks about how much he love’s Steve’s character, which I doubt he’d do if he was a pedophile.
