   This has been a game I've played for as long as I can remember. If the name of the movie is spoken in the dialog you whistle. Other people do it too -- it's a rare screening where it has happened and I haven't heard other whistles in the audience.

   Thanks TimS for the new movie game. We already use Ebert's Little Movie Glossary as a guide for subtle pokes in the ribs at:
   
   1. Fruit cart
   2. sharp objects
   3. rapidly diminishing female costumes in to-hell-and-back scenarios

   Yes! I remember Ebert's movie tropes.
   Which leads to the movie trivia question of the day:
   Which movie had a fruit cart with a banner saying "Gene and Roger's"?
   I don't remember -- Roger referred to it once At the Movies.

   Ski Patrol had a sign: "Siskel and Ebert's Fruit Cart".

   Maybe that's what I'm thinking of. I thought it was a little more subtle...

   Police Academy 6
   
   I never saw the movie, but a simple google search provided the answer (in the Didja Notice section of the page linked above).

   I always thought 'Gone With the Wind' shoulda' been called 'Frankly,I don't give a damn.'.
