Isaac p I also love that part. when he says "My grandfather’s work was doo-doo!!" and then stabs his leg with the scalpel and says "Class Dismissed" 
You must be "E"gor
No, actually it’s pronounced "I"gor

PUTTING ON THE RITS! (as said by the Monster)
rc_gromit | Jun 11, 2007
I love the whole movie — I’ve seen it more than any other one. It’s filled with great scenes, but I’d have to say my favorite is Kenneth Mars as the policeman, cheating at darts.
waia | Jun 11, 2007
the part with gene hackman as the blind man who tortures the monster with kindness
the dart scene with inspector kemp
the opening where gene wilder gets so angered by a question he stabs his leg with a scalpel
and any scene with marty feldman
isaac p | Jun 11, 2007
Man, it all good.
One, I can not remember all that said, but, Wilder tells Garr; "I can not get it up" and she saying; "Let me help you". Something alone those lines and she goes and raises the platform.

When Eyegore says " I got Abby Normal’s brain. " and when Teri Garr is being lifted out of the wagon when they arrive at the castle and the line…" Wow…what a set of knockers. " I love that movie.

just a couple examples of the similarities of Frankenstein movie and young Frankenstein??
can you get into it deeper as in the movies not the items or the color it is displayed in
For one thing they used some of the original props from the first Frankenstein Movie.
I own a copy and during the interviews that is one of the things that Mel Brooks was so proud of. So why the thumbs down?
James E Lewis AKA choteau | Mar 30, 2009
Both were made in Black and White.
Frankenstein is in both titles
Both were classic B rated Movies
IOU101 | Mar 30, 2009
The plot itself is the same– Frankenstein delves into God’s territory and seeks to create a man of his own.
The main difference is that Young Frankenstein is a parody of Frankenstein, which is absolutely tragic. You should also keep in mind that the Frankensteins aren’t the same person. I believe Victor is the grandfather or great-grandfather of the Dr. Frankenstein in "Young Frankenstein."

I just downloaded a huge amount of World War II era radio broadcasts, in MP3 format. I seem to have just about every one of them. How is this possible? Were they recorded by people at home, or what?
All time occurs in one implosion.
mark t | Feb 20, 2007
Obviously some radio enthusiasts did the conversion to MP3. Prior to the commercial availability of tape recorders after WW2, radio stations would have recorded their programs on acetate disks. Even programs that were done live would have been recorded, just as early TV programs were filmed by kinescope. That is how music records were mastered, as well. Musicians didn’t call recording "cutting wax" for nothing. The disks which were intended only for use by radio stations were referred to as "transcription disks".

Will this lead to the end of big-budget, blockbuster movies and the end of action movies. Will they be replaced by smaller, more family-friendly films that don’t require a huge amount of money and resources to produce?
By GARY GENTILE, AP Business Writer
LOS ANGELES - From "green carpets" at awards shows to organic fruit
served to actors on sets, Hollywood is going all out to promote itself
as being environmentally hip.
But is it all just show?
No amount of public service announcements or celebrities driving
hybrid cars can mask the fact that movie and TV production is a gritty
industrial operation, consuming enormous amounts of power to feed
bright lights, run sophisticated cameras, and feed a cast of
thousands.
Studios’ back lots host cavernous soundstages that must be air-
conditioned to counter the heat produced by decades-old lighting
technology. Huge manufacturing facilities consume wood, steel, paint
and plastic to build sets that are often torn down and tossed out
after filming ends.
The energy guzzling continues on the exhibition side, too, with
multiplexes drawing millions of kilowatts to power old-school popcorn
makers and clunky film projectors that cash-strapped theater owners
are reluctant to replace.
A two-year study released last year by the University of California at
Los Angeles concluded that special effects explosions, idling vehicles
and diesel generators make the entertainment industry a major Southern
California polluter, second only to the oil industry.
Still, financial and public pressures have resulted in many studios
expanding their environmental efforts, doing everything from using a
biodiesel fuel mixture to run the generators on the set of the Fox
show "24" to converting Warner Bros.’ enormous set-building facility
to solar energy.
"Public consciousness on this issue has changed dramatically," said
Kyle Tanger, a principal at Clear Carbon Consulting. "The talent
themselves are requesting it from some of the studios. And a lot of
these things make economic sense."
Economic benefit can come to studios directly, by switching to more
efficient lighting or cooling systems or driving hybrid cars on
location, which can save gas. Other projects, such as installing solar
power, can take decades to pay off.
But there are other benefits that are harder to quantify. Besides the
public relations angle, many performers and other employees want to
work with eco-friendly companies, so it also helps in recruiting and
retaining employees, Tanger said.
Form and function merged at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards show.
To symbolize its commitment to energy conservation, Fox had wanted to
replace the traditional red carpet with a green one.
The tradition-bound Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which
gives the awards, politely said "no."
But the carpet that ended up cushioning the heels of such stars as
Sally Field and America Ferrera was made from recycled plastic bottles
and later cut into pieces and donated to several local schools.
"No doubt some efforts have been window dressing. But I actually think
Hollywood is doing far more than people are giving it credit for,"
said Terry Tamminen, who served as an adviser to Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger before starting his own environmental consulting
company.
One convenient yet controversial method is the purchase of carbon
credits by studios and producers to offset the greenhouse gases from
their production activity. The credits attempt to counter such
pollution by investing in environmentally friendly projects such as
planting trees or funding wind power.
Studios and a growing number of other industries calculate their
emissions, then write a check to one of several brokers who funnel the
money to projects around the world. The goal is to become carbon
neutral by funding activities that reduce an equal amount of
emissions.
The 2004 Fox film "The Day After Tomorrow" and last year’s Al Gore
documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" offset all or some of their
pollution. This year’s "Evan Almighty," from Universal, donated money
to the Conservation Fund to plant 2,000 trees, enough to "zero out"
the greenhouse gases produced.
But the practice has come under fire by some who say it is an easy way
to avoid the hard work of directly reducing pollution. Others question
whether carbon credit payments are actually going to projects that
make that much of a difference.
"If you’re going to drive around in a big ol’ Hummer and then buy
carbon offsets to mitigate that, that’s like getting drunk on the
weekends and throwing some money through the window of an AA meeting
and thinking you’re doing something," said Ed Begley Jr., who was a
poster child for energy conservation long before Al Gore made it
trendy.
The Federal Trade Commission, meanwhile, has begun examining claims
made by the nascent multimillion-dollar carbon credit industry.
Warner Bros., which bought carbon credits for the 2005 film "Syriana,"
has also become more aggressive at reducing emissions during all
phases of production.
In addition to solar-powered set-building, the studio is recycling
sets, using recycled plastic lumber in the construction of some
buildings, and printing double-sided scripts where feasible.
Pieces built for the 2001 film "Ocean’s 11" now sit in the Santa
Monica offices of the National Resources Defense Council. Sets from
this year’s sequel "Ocean’s 13" were donated to decorate the halls of
local community colleges.
"You have to start by measuring your own footprint, then reducing it,
whether through using alternative fuels, reducing electrical loads or
combining trips," said Shelley Billick, vice president of
environmental initiatives at Warner Bros. Entertainment. "It’s too
easy to write a check, pay thousands of dollars and say, ‘I’m climate
neutral.’"
Last year, Fox parent News Corp. set a goal of being carbon neutral by
2010.
To further that goal, Fox Broadcasting chose its popular "24" series
as a case study and to serve as a model for other television
productions.
Diesel generators that power the show’s lighting were switched to a
mixture that uses 5 percent biodiesel fuel. That percentage will be
increased in coming years. The show also has secured energy from solar
and wind generation from a local utility for its soundstages.
But News Corp. has a more ambitious goal than simply reducing its own
carbon emissions.
"We knew from the beginning that if our goal is to make as many carbon
reductions in the world as possible, probably the best way we can do
that is through our audiences," said Rachel Webber, director of energy
initiatives for News Corp.
The company concluded that worldwide, it produced the equivalent of
641,150 tons of carbon dioxide. But a rough estimate revealed that the
people who read its newspapers, watch its TV shows and browse its Web
sites use about 7 billion tons.
"That’s the greatest potential to reduce carbon, but we have to get
our own house in order first," Webber said.
To reach the wider audience, Webber and a climate expert from Harvard
University met with show writers and executive producers earlier this
year to brainstorm on ways to integrate environmental messages into
show plots.
But Webber said Fox is not forcing "tacked on" messages into its
shows, but rather offering resources should writers choose to address
the issue.
"We can’t use this in a way that doesn’t fit into the show," Webber
said. "It can’t be Jack Bauer driving in a car he otherwise wouldn’t
drive in."
Ultimately, any steps Hollywood takes, big or small, to reduce
emissions are positive, Begley said. "There are different shades of
green."
Hollywood phonies are only doing it for publicity like throwing a concert causing more pollution and damage to the environment and to global warming with the people at the concert there was litter, energy for the lighting amps booths etc, energy for the TVs to watch it, gas to drive there car emissions, etc.

I just watched Lincoln Heights, what did Mac do to Charles in the past? I couldn’t hear it. =/
Thanks in advance!
His mom was out shopping. So he and Mac sat down for some kung foo movies. He must have been drunk or something, because he tried to make a move on Charles. So charles hit him. They got into a fight. A neighbor called the cops. His mom got back before the cops arrived. She didnt want charles to be in trouble, so she said mac hit her and that charles was defending her. His mom never forgave him since. (xcept after the accident) CHASSIE4EVER!!!

Hey guys, Im from Australia, Ive fallen in love with the amazing game of american football, and Im looking for a team to follow.
My question is, can either the Redskins or the Eagles make it to the superbowl next yr?
Cheers guys!
I honestly think the Eagles can with their new offensive weapons. They have a great d-line rush and I love their Qb and Rb combo (McNabb and Westbrook). In their division they will be battle tested come playoff time. I can see the Eagles vs. the Steelers.
Sean G | May 04, 2009
Both teams have the personnel to do it. With the experience of McNabb and (hopefully) a solid backup for Westbrook, and a good second Receiver the Eagles would be my pick to win of the two, and I’m a Redskins fan
One Brave Mouse | May 04, 2009
Yes, they both have a chance. They are both pretty good teams but I would go with the Eagles (of the two).Redskins made WAY too many additions in the offseason
Cre8 musiq | May 04, 2009
No, they would need a QB to make it and neither of them have one.
Hamthugger | May 04, 2009
I think the Eagles have a better chance
richard m | May 04, 2009
As a Cowboys fan, I hate both of those teams, but I admit that the Eagles have a solid chance. They’ve picked up a very good cornerback from New England a week ago, a excellent new left tackle, and they drafted very well. The only issue they have is that they’ve repeatedly reached the NFC championship game & lost, so we’ll see. I have less faith in Washington’s chances. They have a tremendous defense, but the offense is not impressive. They had trouble scoring last season, and then spent 100 million & their top draft pick on more defense. Not to mention, they tried to get rid of their young quarterback all offseason, which likely will have a negative effect on him. They generally start out well & then collapse in the second half of the season. So if you are choosing between those 2, go for Philly, but be prepared for heartache, because they always contend, but have never won the Super Bowl.
502 | May 04, 2009
choke artists, no way they can make it
Dubz | May 04, 2009
REDSKINS HELL NO!!
EAGLES MAYBE
TEDDY | May 04, 2009
I would go with the Eagles they are one of my favorite teams in the nfl and they have an awesome defense.. Brian Dawkins is amazing.
Dan | May 04, 2009
i don’t think so
Randy N | May 04, 2009
Yes, I think they both have a good chance to make it to the super bowl. its all come down to how well they play, limited the number of injuries to some key players. how bad do they want to make it there the SB. the redskins start off good but at mid season they fell apart (injuries and poor play calling). the eagles just couldn’t get their act together long enough, also had some key injuries as well.
I am glad to know that you enjoyed the game!! welcome aboard, cheers to ya mate!!
Thomas | May 04, 2009
Both the Giants and Cowboys seem to be better than these two teams in the NFC East.
I see the NFC East ending:
Giants 10-6
Cowboys 9-7
Eagles 9-7
Redskins 8-8
I don’t think the Redskins have a chance at the playoffs, but the Eagles have a slight chance as a wild card team.
NJITB | May 04, 2009
no Eagles gonna go 9-6
Redskins gonna go 8-7
yo a dumb f ag
USA CHAMPS | May 04, 2009
The Eagles can. I don’t believe in the Redskins system, with a coach that tries to buy wins. The NFL is not set up for that type of owner. This year’s Super Bowl will be the Steelers and the Falcons.
Prospero Reincarnate | May 04, 2009
only way they get to the Super Bowl is if they buy tickets
You Can't Keep Up | May 04, 2009
if it is goiing to be the skins or eagles it willl definatly be the eagles.
b-mill | May 05, 2009
go for the redskins they are the best team GO SKINS
by the way you can only like one they are rivals
