Ms. Cerrita,

I just checked, and, yes, it is listed in the IMDB (how's that for a boquet of commas?)

[Bix Dugan]

I have to say those 3 links were interesting reading...

[BEERxTaco]

Wasn't Clint Howard the little alien in that one Star Trek TOS episode?

[BathTub]

Yes.

I'm not. But I've always loved DeQuincey's writing style.

Question about those links. Are the words we're looking for seperate, or embedded in another word? For example, "you" appearing only in "your".

Who else is actually trying to figure this out?

We are all depending on you.

I looked and saw way too many words. My alternate plan is to confuse RAD and make him accidentally slip out the name.
We can be like Good Cop/Bad Cop.

[Cerrita]

And what about "the" and "in"? Is "The Capture of Bigfoot" three words or four?

Are numbers in their numerical value, or spelled out? 4, or four?

What about punctuation? Is it a sequel?

...

I should probably go do something constructive...

Can you just tell us what it is? I'll pay you. Just send me an e-mail with the title, and I promise not to tell anyone. I'd ruthlessly lord it over them that I know, naturally, but I won't tell them anything.

Ms. Cerrita,

Of course not! I would never do that. It's difficult enough given the amount of verbiage contained in the links, I wouldn't confuse the issue even more! Each word is separate and unto itself, no stripping of letters needed.

'The Capture of Bigfoot' would be 4 words. And there are no numbers in the title, so you can jettison those.

If some fool were to attempt a brute force attack and find all the titles in imdb's master title list that would qualify (and were made after '34, since we know the movie is in color), I'm guessing they'd get, say 4,480 possible titles after throwing out tv series and video games. Of course, after doing this, they'd probably realize they had to use a little more finesse and figure out how to pull the ratings for all these movies and toss out the higher ranking ones.

RAD - could such a fool assume it was a theatrical release and toss out all the direct to video and TV movies? Or is that asking too much?

Everyone else - has anybody identified the car well enough to push the earliest possible release date a little later?

Well, at the moment, the only possibility I've come up with is In the Mix. But that seems a little too new. The photo has the feel of being from the 70's or 80's.

I like being called Ms. It makes me feel like I actually have some class.

Having had the good fortune to meet you in person, Ms. Cerrita I can certainly attest that you do indeed have class.

Je...um, I mean Mr. Atari,

Ice-Cream is two words (as far as I'm concerned ) , and Clint Howard is not involved in the upcoming project. (Although I pulled him up due to this query and I'm a fan of his too! I never knew who he was before, but always enjoyed his work).

RAD, as your friend, I need to tell you....you and Mary Jo need to get your hands on a copy of Ice Cream Man. It truly is a thing of beauty. Not only is it Clint Howard at his Clint Howard-est, but it features a laundry list of grade-Z stars from the 80s, including Doug Llewellyn (of People's Court fame) and former Dodger & Padres first baseman, Steve Garvey. It also was sponsored by Converse shoes, so there are Chuck Taylor hi-tops in every shot, and a skinny kid played a fat kid by sticking a pillow up his shirt. Seriously. A pillow.

If ever a film deserved riffing, truly this is that film.
