What movie is this clip from?

[Legacy25GT]

I'm talking about the movie clip the brewers play in Miller Park when they list the birthdays. A kid and his family are at one of those quirky restaurants where the staff sings happy birthday, and it ends with the kid crying. What movie is that from? and is it any good?

[Crazyk1294]

Waiting. And yes, it's a good flick, especially if you've ever worked in food service. Not a family friendly film...

[theavrock]

Waiting. EDIT: Beat me to it.

[twobrewers]

especially if you've ever worked in food service.

It's decent. If you've ever worked at an Applebees or similar place - it is very good.

 

I've always thought it was a pretty obscure movie to use on the jumbo tron.

OK, I'm glad somebody started this thread, because I've been dying trying to figure this out:

 

There are two clips they play at Miller Park for the "Show us your bad dancing" bit. One is from "Napoleon Dynamite", and then there's the other, and I can't place it. It's clip of a heavier guy, dressed in garlands and branches, doing this weird, choppy, interpretative dance routine. I've seen the film, or at least part of it, that it's in, but I can't place it. Anybody know?

[Yeti73]

isn't that uncle buck>?

[BrewCrewRising]

I haven't seen Uncle Buck in ages, but I don't think it is. I remember it being some side character telling one of the main characters that they're doing an interpretative dance recital or something, and then later in the movie you see it.

It's gotta be The Big Lebowski.

[BKBucky_2_2]

It is.

[BrewCrewRising]

I don't think so. What scene in the Big Lebowski would that be?

If it is BL it's the scene when Jeff Lebowski's landlord is holding his dance cycle at the local theater. Donnie, Jeff, and Walter are talking about where the little Larry kid lives.

[pebadger]

He lives on Radford, near the In-N-Out Burger.

[BKBucky_2_2]

Can't find the actual clip, but here's a re-enactment of it at Lebowski-Fest.

 

 

You should probably watch the Big Lebowski again. It's a great movie.

Waiting is hilarious, but, as previously stated, is not a family friendly movie at all. It's been on Comedy Central quite a bit lately, if you're curious.

Comedy Central doesn't do it justice. Go rent or buy it.

Waiting is awesome. Dane Cook is actually tolerable in the movie, but that is probably due to his small role. Mitch rules.

That sounds very familiar. I knew it was a sympathetic character going to see somebody like his landlord or something. Time to watch the Big Lebowski again.

 

Thanks for the clarification Homer, and thanks for figuring it out Beerambassador and BKBucky.

True. What I should've said is: If you want to watch it with the kids, parents, grandparents, etc. watch it on Comedy Central. If you like profanity and other inappropriate "stuff".

Maybe we should use this thread to document every movie reference used on the scoreboard at MP: Waiting, Napoleon Dynamite, Big Lebowski, Hoosiers, Animal House, ???. Pretty great list.

 

Or, to discuss which other movie scenes would be great to use for various situations....

[UeckerAddict]

Freaks and Geeks- Great show, so underrated.

 

When an opposing pitcher gets in trouble I was always a proponent of showing the Marlon Brando as Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now: "The horror, the horror." Or, if that's to violent, at least playing the soundbite.

My favorite would have to be the one they play when the Pirates come to town, before announcing the visitor's lineup. It from Seinfeld when Kramer is convincing Jerry that he should wear the poofy shirt on the tonight show... Kramer says he'll look like a pirate, and Jerry says in his whiniest voice "But I don't wanna be a pirate!"

[Bring Back the Stein]

When the Cubs come to town, before they take the field they should do a mash-up from "Un Chien Andalou," showing the eye being cut by a razor. I have no idea what it has to do with anything, but it's the most repulsive film image that came to mind. And it finally justifies taking those two film classes.
