The Essentials (films)

It wasn't even nominated, I don't know why.

The problem with "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is that it featured two names on it: Jim Carrey and Charlie Kaufman. The academy hates Jim Carrey and they will never allow anything slightly related to him get an important award - he should at least have been nominated for Man on the Moon. The academy is ignoring Charlie Kaufman because he is "too smart" for Hollywood, he's considered "indie" by them, he makes movies with no explosions, no guns, no pseudo-fantastic era swordfight, with no parts for Van Diesel, and the worse of all, he makes movies for smart people. So this award (which he should have got from his past films too, specially Being John Malkovitch), to me, feels like the academy saying "yeah yeah you're the best screenwriter around, here's your award, now get lost".

LOL very good, but some of it sounds like stand-up material. Whose is it?

From some north american stand-up comediants I've seen (whose names I cannot remember, but the first 3 ones are frmo a comediant you might be able to know the name of):

* I don't have a car anymore, I have an helicopter. To park it, I just throw an anchor and leave the engine running.

* I once put instant coffe on a microwave oven and almost went back in time.

* I have this full scale map of the world extremly well folded. It says "1 mile = 1 mile"

* This is a good one if you have a baby and want to have a laugh. Dress the baby as bad as you can, and go to the supermarket with the baby and your wife. Fill up the shopping cart with booze, and at the end put just one pack of diapers on the top. When you get to the register, pretend you don't have enough money, and remove the diapers.

Nice, very nice, as long as the DVD feature those hilarious budding bloopers that leaked into the internet some time ago (there's this audio with the actors doing the voice acting for Thundercats, and sometimes they flubbed a line or spoke too soon/too late, and they just yelled obscenities, or carried on the dialogue changing the lines to an hilarious obscene dialogue).

if you happen to ask the guard that always lies he will tell you the door that leads to death (because he is lying about it being what the other guard would say) and if you ask the guard that tells the truth he would tell you the door that leads to death (because that is what the lying guard would actually say if you asked him which way was freedom) so either way you take the opposite door that the guard you asked said and it will go to freedom

-Darth Simon


OK I think that might solve the problem, and I'll accept that answer (you get the next riddle), but my answer would be:

"Is the guard who tells the truth guarding the door for the exit?"

If he says "yes", go though his door. If he says "no", go to the other door. I'll let you guys do the thinking on this one, as it's quite logical.

Wrong, I said only ONE question to only ONE guard.

I suppose it is my turn.

Not sure if it has been posted before, if so please ignore it, and the person who by any chance claims that this "riddle" was already done before will have the next turn.

You're in a dungeon chamber, and there are two doors, one leads to freedom, the other to uh... let's say, death. Each of these doors is kept by a guard. One of the guards speaks only the truth, the other one speaks only lies. You are not sure which one is the liar, and you don't know which door he might keep. The guards know what's behind each door, and they will not keep you from entering any of these doors. Now, you can ask a guard only one question, and you can ask that question to one and only one of the guards.

What is the question?

I once got a ticket for talking on the cell phone at the car (which is not permitted here, not sure about it over there); and the details of the ticket were quite hilarious:

* I was working in Rio at that day.
* I never, ever use my cell phone at the car, at least not driving. If I'm expecting an important call, I pull over, otherwise I just ignore it ot turn if off.
* It stated it happened on a thursday at 10:30 am, when I'm obviously at work.
* It happened in a street I never pass by (in fact I only recall to have driven over there once)
* They stated my car color as being black, opposed to silver, as it is. I'm not sure if it was mispelled, though (black color= "PRETA", silver color= "PRATA").

Those wer from Don Bluth, if I'm not mistaken. The genius behind the Dragon's Lair laserdisc arcade.... I loved that game...

Land Before Time, I think they did about... four hundred of those...

Flight Attendant Who Helped Airline Hostages Dies

I vaguely remember seeing a made for TV movie in which two terrorists kidnap an airplane and tell this flight atendant to get the passports with jewish names on it, and she cried for about 10 minutes and eventually did it. But she made some mistakes and non-jewish people were called... I think George Kennedy was on it, playing a priest who demanded to be with the jewish men, but I could be mistaken. I didn't watch much of it, but maybe this is the one.
