Meme-slapped

I have been meme-slapped. You can blame Joe, if you’re into that sort of thing.

What was your earliest film-related memory?
After wracking my brain, I think the earliest I have is when I was eight, and we were on my Dad’s first sabbatical, in England. We were somewhere in the south west, Devon or Cornwall, there was a gale blowing, and Mom and Dad plunked my brother and I in front of the only TV in the hotel we were staying at while they were in the pub. On said TV played ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS, which at the time, I felt was the acme of American film-making. (This can be attributed to the fact that I was eight, and that Dad brought us a few rounds of cider, not realizing it was alcoholic in England.

Name two favorite lines from movies:
“That rabbit’s dynamite!”

“All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”
