Let's Keep This Rollin' Some More…

February 16, 2007

SSP…I’m gonna be on with Adam Gold on 850 The Buzz today at 4:20. Should be fun.
So let’s roll a little longer with this CTA thing.
Now, let’s see how well we really know this movie. I’m gonna start with a line from a scene, and then someone pick it up from there. If a scene is done, then someone else is welcome to start another scene, and then we roll from there.
“Hey, Stu. Your rent’s due, muthafucka…”
Go with the next line, then pick it up when Akeem, Semi and the landlord go up the steps.

To smokedog2138: "He was better than Cassius Clay, Sugar Ray, and that new dude, what's his name? With the face like a bulldog. (Mike Tyson) He better than him too." This is kinda hard, so I'll set the scene. They are on the subway: Lisa: "Well you can keep these. (takes off earrings and throws them at Akeem) Because I don't want them. And I don't want you."

Smokedog2138 - I think you may be right, but I honestly don't know. LOL. I just like when Lisa looks confused and the white lady sitting next to Joe Torry's little brother who was watching the whole thing the whole time says in her strong New York accent says, "Go on honey! Take a chance!" MAKES ME LAUGH EVERY TIME! That's the thing I love about this movie. The little things and things that probably weren't meant to be punchlines are HILARIOUS. Like I think the other dude in the barber shop - not Clarence, Arsenio's character or Saul - but the other dude IS HILARIOUS! And then I also like when the old woman who lookes like the grandmother from Family Matters tells Akeem, "If you're really a prince I'll marry you." And gives him a look that says she can put it on him like no 20something can. CLASSIC!

And Ben, my favorite part of that whole speech is the OTHER barber who was like, "Man you ain't never met no Frank Sinatra." WHAT IS HIS NAME?! I can't remember? Yes, I did. No, you didn't. Yes, I did. NO YOU DID NOT. Kills me everytime!! LOLOL.

And here's my last post ... for now. Bo, I think she had some security issues of her own. Like maybe she didn't think she was good enough or could handle princess duties. Or maybe she just wasn't trying to move to a palace where elephants be in the front yard like they squirrels.

Ben, that's what I was going to say, but when he explained that he wanted her to love him for him she looked like she kind of understood. And THAT'S when she said something like "You're a prince for goodness sake" and looked really confused.

Oh and after someone takes this up to when he tells them about the apartment here is my candidate for the beginning of the next one.: "You must be out yo damn mind! Joe Louis is the greatest boxer who ever lived. I'll be with you boys in a minute."

Hehe, 4:20 on The Buzz. Classic. And yes, I'm retarded. "This is the place I was telling you about. It´s real fucked up. Got just one window facing a brick wall. Used to rent it to a blind man...damn shame what they did to that dog."

To ETS: "But what about Rocky Marciano?" "Oh, there they go. There they go. Every time I start talking about boxing, a white man got to pull Rocky Marciano out they ass. That's they one, that's they one. Let me tell you something once and for all: Rocky Marciano was good, but compared to Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano ain't shit!" "He beat Joe Louis's ass." "Joe Louis was 75 years old when they fought! He had come out of retirement to fight Rocky Marciano. The man was 78 years old. Joe Louis lied about his age all the time. One time, Frank Sinatra came out here and sat in this chair and I asked him 'Frank, you know Joe Louis. Just between me and you, how old is Joe Louis?’ You know what Frank told me? He said, 'Hey, Joe Louis is 137 years old! A hundred and thirty seven years old!" "Man, you ain't never met no Frank Sinatra." "Yes, I did." "No, you didn't." "Yes, I did!" "No, you didn't!" "I don't know how old he was but he still whipped his ass." "Uh, huh." "Fuck you, fuck you and fuck you! Who's next?"

TO ETS first things first ets. anyone else notice how when she throws the earing they go right to his hand. either they switch the earring and made them a single object or he had a magnet in his glove. I think IT IS "Tell me you did not love me when you thought I was a goat herder, and I will never bother you again

My girlfriend and I were wondering about this part of the movie--what was wrong with him being a prince? That never made much sense.

Lisa was mad about being lied to. It wasn't about Akeem being a prince.

There is only one bathroom on this floor, and there is a bit of an insect problem, but I'm guessing you boys from Africa are used to that
