I thought it would be cool to play a new game...

You list the character and movie/tv show, and the next person says what their job was, and then they list a new character and movie/tv show...and so on and so on. Cool???

Let's start with an easy one:

This one is driving me crazy...cause I have seen this movie a bunch of times, and I can't picture anything...I keep thinking she worked in a store...I know her friend was the waitress at the club she was at the night everything happened. I can see her ironing her clothes and Kelly McGillis talking to her, but I wasn't sure if that was work clothes or not.

Someone answer this one fast...
 
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
 
I am totally stumped on this one?? Sorry....
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
AAAH I can't remember this one either. I've only saw this movie once. I'm gonna guess and say cashier. LOL...
 
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
 
I hope John comes back soon and gives the answer cause it is driving me crazy. I can see the movie in my mind almost scene by scene...but I can't see her going off to work anywhere.

This movie was done really well, but I haven't watched it for so long, because of how horrible that one scene is...it totally makes me ill to think of someone doing that to someone, and I can't take the same kind of stuff as I use to when it comes to that real life kind of stuff, and seeing people being brutilized.
I can not imagine how horrifying something like that would be. I think that scene really is one of the worst scenes I have ever seen in a movie...any kind of rape scene is horrible.

Remember "The Guardian" with Martin Sheen and Louis Gossett Jr. that was a great movie, but I can't take the scene where the girl is raped in the laundry mat in front of her little boy, that is an awful scene.

But...not being able to remember her job is driving me crazy.

Posted by 80'sfreak (Member # 3922) on :
 
he worked with money. but not sure of the official title. I have seen this movie 10,000 times and its one of my favs. All I know is he worked with money and was always bragging about how rich he is.
 
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
 
I never have seen that movie.

I guess nobody remembers what he did.

This is super easy...but so what...

What was Katya Yarno's job in "Lady Beware"????? Extra props to anyone who can get this one right!
 
Posted by Miyagi-Turbo (Member # 4340) on :
 
Just a quick clarification on Lucille from the Karate Kid.

ISIS wrote,

"She was an office worker of some sorts, I think she worked with computers".

"Am I right"???

We are told at the start that she got some job at an up and coming computer company. It looks like it was not that up and coming because later in the movie she is working in a restaurant and she explains, "I'm going to be trained as a manager".

Katya was a window dresser

How about Jenny Hayden's (Karen Allen's) husband Scott in Starman.
 
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
 
Wait now: What was Katya Yarn's Job in "Lady Beware"??
 
Posted by Miyagi-Turbo (Member # 4340) on :
 
Window organizer/arranger.

Any takers on Jenny Hayden's husband?
 
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
 
I am baffled on the Starman thing! Surely someone knows this one, huh guys?
 
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
 
I know he died...but I can't remember if his job had anything to do with it...I keep thinking he might have been a carpenter.

Maybe we should all start over, 'cause this is getting confusing...

Close call ISIS, he was a painter. It is mentioned I believe only one time in the film.

How about Darry (Patrick Swayze) from the Outsiders. What did he do?
 
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
 
Was he a mechanic at a gas station???
 
Posted by annier (Member # 3305) on :
 
I think it was soda pop (rob lowe) who worked in a gas station. Did he (Darry) work in construction ?
 
Posted by Miyagi-Turbo (Member # 4340) on :
 
Darry (Patrick Swayze) was a roofer and Soda Pop (Rob Lowe) worked in a gas station.

What about Lincoln Hawk (Sylvester Stallone) in Over The Top?
