h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The internet gods are evil...

Same with me. I won twice and both times I had to scramble to come up with another movie. It's a good thing they got my first one right away because I couldn't have come up with another quote from that movie to save my bacon. On the second (current) one I picked a movie that I had so that I could refer to it and get the precise wording on a bunch of quotes. Watch, somebody will get it before I post another quote.

...or not. It seems vaguely familiar, but nothing yet.

As for the actress...? Shirley MacClaine?

...oh, and welcome aboard!

Thanks. An honest, albeit wrong, guess merits another clue.

1) She was in Donovan's Brain where she said, "Call me when the brain quiets down, will you ?"
2) She later went on to become a household word.
3) Her husband died last year.
4) She consulted an astrologer.
5) On a long running, American comedy sketch show, she was often portrayed by an openly gay man--one of the first (possibly the very first but don't hold me to that) on American TV.

Amend 5) to read:

is it Nancy Reagan ???

Carol Channing

Hurray ! You, cathrennes, got it ! Who's around? Help me lift her onto our shoulders for a victory lap. Well done. Because this was a side game, you are not obligated to take a turn but I'm sure no one would object if you did.

Hey, SayHeyJay. (I've been wanting to do that) Sorry but thanks for playing.

cigardener!

Good job on the clues

Thanks. There's something much more important that I should be doing today but this is so much more fun. I will have to bite the bullet soon and get off or there will be trouble down the line. I'm waiting for one good guess on the movie and then I post my next clue and leave.

Good guess? Shouldn't quantify things in those terms around here. You might be stuck here for a while.

?
Moonraker?
(sorry, they're talking Bond in the plot room...)

Sorry, the guess wont be from me...I'm clueless

Good enough. The story so far:

1) “Oh, where are we ?”
*how stupid can you be ?* “On the moon.”

2) “My friends and I are looking for three men. . . and one who is extremely large and strong.”
*laughs* “Oh, we’re all extremely large and strong here.”

3) “I must inform you, my liege, without my adventures, you wouldn’t be here.”
“Well, so now I am part of your adventures ? Well, we shall see about that, huh.”

I'll hang about just a little longer in case any one has a flash and then go. Is it clear that *how stupid can you be* indicates the tone of voice ?

Flash? ...Flash Gordon?

...dang, now I've got that Queen song in my head.

"he'll save every one of us!"

No flashes. Decidedly flashless. Well, I can't wait any longer and must be on about my business. I bid a fond farwell to:
L.P
cathrennes
N.C.
S.H.J.
E.C.
hn-&c.
Tasterainbows
Hope I didn't miss anyone. Next clue won't be for 7 hours. Say to Haikeeba for me if you see him.

Hi.

Time Bandits?

Since there's the whole time difference thing and not everyone likes randomly guessing I'm wondering what everyone's say...top 10 movies are. That'll give us more to chat about.
