MacArthur Stern in Loose Cannons with Dan Aykroyd. They play police officers who are a bit, uh, eccentric. For the first third of the movie Hackman is there to rein in Aykroyd’s offbeat antics, but, after that, Hackman’s the real Loose Cannon.
Your most favorite opening line of a movie?
In a hole in the ground
there lived a hobbit.
Many ages ago, when this ancient
planet was not quite so ancient…
… long before men
recorded his history…
… here was the time of Middle Earth,
where men shared his days with…
… elves, dwarves, wizards,
goblins, dragons and… hobbits.
In the lands of Middle Earth,
in an area known as the Shire…
… It was a village named
Hobbiton.
There, in a hole in the ground
there lived a hobbit.
Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole,
nor a dry, bare, sandy hole.
It was a hobbit-hole,
and that means comfort.
