At first I was like, you have a fully grown adult son??? Wombats are legion, but also, I had no idea they were huge! Did you get to see any of their cubed poops?

El puente no es mio

Gosh, even the poster is drab.

I saw that too. He wanted a better bridge.

Dog-dog!

You should apply for one of those wombat study grants.

Can we guess?

Loved this thread. I'll be back here, shortly after March 17.

I'm sorry, I have a lot to say. I was so invested in this fine movie that I couldn't help taking notes. 1. In case anyone else was wondering, I think Augie's full name is Jose Augusto Rafael de la Para. 2. In speech class, when Mitchell is describing what stylin' is, he says it's like liquid Drano. Is there a non-liquid Drano? Seems redundant. 3. They must have cut out a scene where Jack and his girlfriend break up over her constantly trying to hit on Mitchell. Jack seems like the type of guy who wants a girl who will laugh for no one else. 4. At the first hockey game, when Mitchell and Nikki meet and Mitchell goes on and on and on about the ocean and California, there are seagull and wave sounds in the background. Who is hallucinating these ocean sounds? Mitchell or Nikki or both? 5. After Mitchell receives his rollerblades in the mail and runs into Nikki, she's holding a giant Mary Poppins-style umbrella. Not sure why she needed one? It wasn't raining. Anyway, in the next scene, at the botanical garden, Nikki isn't carrying the umbrella. However, when they leave, she's holding the umbrella again. Did she have to check in the umbrella before she could tour the botanical garden? 6. At the botanical garden, Mitchell says that he knows the binomial nomenclature of the plants because his parents are a pair of encyclopedias. WHAT? They taught him all the names and he just memorized them all? If his parents are encyclopedias, why do they need to study wombats in Australia? Shouldn't they have all the wombat knowledge already? 7. Why did Mitchell get lost during the race? Don't you think someone would've sat down with him to go over the course map together? Whew, I think that's all for now.

Paul and the group mentioned the Goosen family dog briefly. It got me to think about what happened to the dog. Mitchell got sent to Cincinnati, but what about Dog-dog? My preferred theory is that the parents only had enough grant support to bring one additional dependent, and they chose to bring their favorite son, the golden retriever, to Australia.

Before the race starts, the black chick explains that the first team with 3 people to cross the finish line wins.

Mary Stuart Masterson is the better version of Duckie in that movie. ETA: Damn it, Fister.

Are there any Blaines who aren't villains?

I think he becomes a realtor/artist in Texas.

I can't read any of this. All I see is squawk this and squawk that.

Are you perched on a pirate's shoulder right now?

Alcohol.

Why invest in schools when dingoes eat babies anyway. Maybe you're a parrot.

Can I just say how much I love the Alamo? Recently went there for the first time to watch La La Land and haven't been to a different theater since.

Listen, I don't know if you're deliberately being obtuse or you just don't "get it." I was pointing out that Sean Connery's Bond character SEXUALLY ASSAULTED a female character in Goldfinger. Don't turn it into a platform to discuss how you would "thank" him if that were to ever happen to you.

He's a character from Mortal Kombat.

Johnny Cage is in this, lol.

That's not even the worst scene in Goldfinger, IMO. What he does to Pussy Galore is straight up sexual assault. This is Bond trying to kiss her.
