'what's your favourite' or 'what's the best' threads are useless....unless people justify their selections, otherwise it's just a thread of movie titles that could be just as random as anything else

I've always wondered...what does The 400 Blows refer to in the film? This is probably a stupid question but I don't care.

imdb says: The title of the film comes from the French idiom "faire les quatre cents coups", meaning "to raise hell".

Evidently, that sequel title is bullshit... What's his face, Stiffler was on Conan, who brought it up and he said that he never agreed to any sequel.

Seriously Dude, Where's My Car? - Ashton Kutcher told The Herald Sun today (Feb. 27) that the long rumoured sequel to "Dude, Where's My Car?" - apparently titled, "Seriously Dude, Where's My Car?" - is a no go. "It's just a rumour", Kutcher says. "No script even. And I would think in order to make a movie you'd have to have a script".

No script didn't stop them from making the first film.

Quote from Variety:

"Sequel SERIOUSLY DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? on the way
The first was a genre film, believe it or not...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dateline: Wednesday, April 17, 2002

By: CHRISTOPHER ALLAN SMITH
By: News Editor
Source: Variety


It seems the under-the-radar genre comedy DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? is getting a sequel. While the original film looked like a run-of-the-mill dumb-guy comedy from the marketing, it was actually a genre comedy centering on aliens who came to Earth and found themselves needing the help of the two hapless lugs (THAT 70S SHOW's Ashton Kutcher and AMERICAN PIE's Seann William Scott) to complete their mission.


Now it seems the aliens will be back in SERIOUSLY DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? Expect it to be released in 2004, as it doesn't even start shooting until mid-2003.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
there is also a page for it on imdb with writing credits, budgets, and release dates.  Not that I care really.  I hated the first movie and I have a feeling I will hate the second.  I just get pleasure in proving MacGuffin wrong (nothing personal!)

Quote from: MacGuffinSeriously Dude, Where's My Car? - Ashton Kutcher told The Herald Sun today (Feb. 27, 2003)

06/05/02: In April, it was reported that 20th Century Fox had put a sequel to "Dude Where's My Car" entitled "Seriously Dude, Where's My Car" on the fasttrack for a possible 2003 release.

However, Seann William Scott told Zap2It that he and Ashton Kutcher may not be involved. "I know that they are going to do a sequel, but I heard that they're going to use unknowns," he said. "I think, with the first one, it was supposed to be quite a different movie than the way it turned out to be, so I think I'll let that one go and see what they do with [it]."

Good call, very delicous. I give my pick to Mira Sorvino in Romy and Michelle and Summer Of Sam, those are the only two movies i've seen her in. I've also seen her in the trailer for the movie she did with Val Kilmer but no boobage was shown. I was in love with them at first sight.

I'm the only one allowed to have erotic dreams and arousements with Mira Sorvino. And you'd better not dare to watch Mighty Aphrodite, since it's the movie that made me fall in love with her at a very young age (old enough to close myself in the bathroom after seeing it and cream my pants, though).
