Good. Mine wasn't either (maybe some of you could tell that! LOL!*). Actually any poll that starts with "Name the best movie..." will likely be mocked and/or ignored by me.

But someone answer my poll! Really!

Follow-up poll: Best movie ever set in Albany NY. This is easier because in the history of filmmaking there has only been one movie ever set in Albany. Name it.

Hint: It is also the name of a FB poster...

Apropos of nothing, when was the last time Ironweed posted here?

And as for Lawn Guyland, one of my favorite references to it was from when Alec Baldwin was on Friends as Phoebe's overly enthusiastic boyfriend: "Massapequa? It sounds like a *magical* place!"

You're kind of missing the point (surprise!), which is that if a movie is about a fictional location which is purportedly on long island, but by all obvious appearances is not long island, and makes no particular connection of things about long island, is it a long island movie? And, when you rip off Moby-Dick, you might as well presume New England.

Its not really a poll when there is only one answer, now is it? Its more like a quiz. Or a question. *

TKP, DDR*



How about a challenge for the board? No tiny font. No asterisks (I know you are lawyers but no need to be anal about everything that isnt work related), no cliches, no sayings that were started by either Friends or Mike Myers. Just orignial chat without bells and whistles. Okay?

Dont worry str8, you can still namedrop.

This is a vanity post designed to tell everyone I am from CT. Its not really about the poll.

But did it suck compared to Mystic Pizza?

Thurgreed, I hate your polls.

Speaking of Albany, did anyone other than me and the kind FBer who recommended it ever read Roscoe?

Ohh... You are on the right track here! Go with it.

Jaws is a film based on a novel by one Peter Benchley who sets the story in Long Island. I think you should stick to what you know, vagina nicknames.

That wasnt directed at you. I have been meaning to post on the tiny font and asterisks thing and then decided to aggregate all the creativity substitutes into one complaint. SOrry it reponded to your post. You are not nearly as bad as say the king of creativity substitutes, atticus. but thanks for playng. oh and there is no such thing as a paigowism. unless that is a asterisk, cliche, tiny font free post.

It was sort of a "duh" moment. I needed the name of poster hint, despite the fact that my SO, who lived in Albany post-college for stupid romantic reasons, and I have talked about the movie recently. My memory is for shit, and I never even used any drugs. So unfair.

god, you would hope not. But Mary Kay's married name is LeTourneau, so if a relation, only as an in-law. Ex-hubby is in Alaska, away from the publicity, so if it's his sister maybe he can load up the truck and a move to Bev-er-lee. Hills that is. Swimmin' pools, movie stars.

Don't mention it, leagle.

s'okay. I lived in Albany while it was being shot and I still can't keep it straight from Silkwood (damn compound words!) because they came out around the same time (and I believe they both have Meryl Streep, though I'll admit I'm no longer sure on that and I'm too lazy to Google it).

paigowism: something invented by or claimed to be invented for the purposes of the boards by the paigow

I'm a fan of the * thing, but I think it is because they are helpful to make my stream-of-consciousness posts more decipherable. parentheses can only work so well at that...
