No. Question.

I've never found Helen hunt attractive. Now gertz? That's an aged wine I'd love to sip.

Twister is my favorite movie of all time. I probably watched the vhs over 250 times growing up. Can quote the entire movie. Yes, there are extremely unrealistic things that happen but it’s a very entertaining movie

Anyone notice right at the beginning of the movie, when it goes to modern time, they show a computer map inside the National Weather Center?


To show the movie's age, the earth photo at the beginning referenced the GOES 8 weather satellite.

I believe we are currently on GOES 17.

"No."

Twister, Jurassic Park and Austin Powers are the 3 movies we watched nonstop growing up. My sisters and I could literally quote all 3 movies start to finish.

Bill Paxton's intro to the Twister ride at Universal Studios was awesome.

I love this movie too, even though it's cheesy as hell.

I say "I don't know, it's like 'Bob's Road'" all the time

Also, I'll never consider the concept of comprehensive/liability only coverage without thinking of Twister

I heard a writer talking about Twister recently. He was comparing it to Titanic. If you just listened to the dialogue of the two movies Twister would still be good and Titanic would be insufferable. He said Twister was better than it needed to be. I thought that summed up twister well.

On average, the names "Rose" or "Jack" are spoken every 1 min 20 sec throughout Titanic...if you remove the beginning and end credits, it's every 1 min 13 sec. Jack and Rose


That's absolutely unforgivably bad writing.

Re-watched tonight. Love this movie.

Just now realized that Dickie Bennett from Justified (Jeremy Davies) was Laurence in twister as part of Paxton's crew.
