Not that I'm aware of.
Yeppers, I have a name.

Gosh dang. This one rings a faint bell for me, too. Can't put a finger on it, though.

- I have worm-like extensions that come out of my mouth to grab onto things.
- I can't dig my way through thick rock or concrete.
- I break up the ground beneath buildings to get to my prey (food).
Who Am I?
If you don't have an answer, ask me a question.

You sound like someone I wouldn't want to meet in the dark, or the middle of the day either come to think of it. Can we have a time frame on this, fifties? sixties? more recent?

The film isn't "Tremors" by any chance?

Yeppers, the film is indeed Tremors.

Thought the descriptoon fitted that but I didn't know you had a name, figured you were just a big nameless slug thingy.

They used the name "Graboid" a few times. Don't know if it was just for the things that came out of the worm's mouth to 'grab' hold of things, or if it was used for the giant worm as well.

I am a young woman struggling to get ahead in the business world. When my plans for a big business deal are stolen by my boss and advanced as her own I am at first disillusioned, but when fate offers me the chance to turn the tables on her I grab my opportunity with both hands.

Melanie Griffith's character in "Working Girl"?

Figured you'd have no trouble with this one Siren, yep I'm Tess from Working Girl.

I know it's one of your favorites, too, kat. Good movie!
I'm a frustrated young writer, supporting myself as a gigolo, who finds myself falling for the cooky girl who lives upstairs. She delivers "weather reports" to a guy in prison, shoplifts from five and dime stores, and takes money from strange men to support herself and her cat, "Cat", all the while hoping to land a rich husband.

Have you been reading my autobiography Siren? Some clues needed I think, would it be a comedy/romance?

Post by Siren on Jan 31, 2007 9:22:05 GMT -6
Your autobiography, kat? Are you the gigolo/writer, or the one taking money from strange men? ;D
Indeed, one of the great romantic comedies, very influential. This 1961 film has inspired scores of young women to leave small towns for the excitement of the big city. Its brunette, doe-eyed leading lady remains, long after her death, an icon of beauty and elegance. The score was by Henry Mancini, and is a classic in itself (including a beautiful ballad that was big for Andy Williams). Only one downside: the leading lady's neighbor, much disturbed by all the noise she creates, is a racially offensive character - an Asian stereotype.

Your autobiography, kat? Are you the gigolo/writer, or the one taking money from strange men? ;D I ain't sayin' and you can't make me, so there. Sheesh I should have recognised that one, you'd have to be the George Peppard character from "Breakfast at Tiffany's" unless I'm very much mistaken.

Post by Siren on Feb 5, 2007 19:57:31 GMT -6
Exactly right, kat - you are the salt-n-pepper-haired Peppard. Good!

Sorry for the hold up, I kinda sorta forgot it was my turn. I am a happy man, live in a small town where crime is practically unheard of, have a lovely wife, beautiful house, good job as an insurance salesman, nice friendly neighbours and a good buddy, surely the American dream come true, that is until a series of minor but strange incidents make me begin to question everything about my seemingly idyllic existence, and even who I really am.

Ohhh, gosh. At first, I thought you were William Powell in "I Love You Again". But that doesn't quite fit all the clues. And speaking of clues...can you give me a bit of a hand? Thanks!

Post by katina2nd on Feb 15, 2007 22:17:21 GMT -6
Few more clues coming right up Siren. Lot more recent then "I Love You Again", made in the late nineties, starring a guy mostly known for his zany comedic roles, directed by an Aussie.
Basically a film [ satire ] about media manipulation taken to the ultimate degree.

I can't think of the name of it, but I think it's a Jim Carrey movie. Anyone got it?

Post by katina2nd on Feb 20, 2007 19:44:52 GMT -6
You're on the right track Siren, tis indeed a Jim Carrey film. Will we wait a bit longer and see if anybody solves it, give ya some more clues or just say what it is, you're near enough I reckon anyway.

Post by Siren on Feb 21, 2007 23:29:41 GMT -6
I don't think clues would help me, kat. I don't remember that title, dang it. Wanna let me out of my misery?

Post by katina2nd on Feb 22, 2007 18:39:56 GMT -6
Righto then shall do, I'm Truman Burbank from the film "The Truman Show", probably Carrey's best film IMO.
You were near enough, so how about you have the next go.

Ah yes, that rings a bell. Thank you for letting me off the hook. We'd have been stuck here forever!
I live a pretty quiet life, sharing an apartment with a demented, dirty roommate, and running a small bookstore. Then one day, I just happen to meet one of the biggest movie stars in the world. And by some miracle, she wants to see me again!

That sounds very much like, now let me think, which one was which; yep think I've got it, you're Felix from "The Odd Couple" I reckon, very funny movie.

Post by Siren on Feb 27, 2007 21:05:50 GMT -6
No, but can see why you'd pick that one.
This big box office hit, set in England, featured America's film sweetheart of the 90s, known for her red hair, wide smile, and lanky coltishness. Her co-star is a boyish Englishman, who often, as he does here, plays a likable, easily-flustered, stumbling, stuttering bachelor. His newest film, opposite Drew Barrymore, just debuted.

Yikes, you pulled the rug out from under me on that one Siren, could have sworn it was "The Odd Couple". Right, the best I can come up with is the names of the two actors, from those clues I'd say your character is played by Hugh Grant and the movie star by Julia Roberts, but for the life of me I can't recall your name or the name of the film. I think ya got me this time.
