Hambone Renfro? You don't happen to hail from Texas, do you?

Why are you holding out on us?!

It was a Hi-Yo! and I do it every other day!

Ehhh… too easy.

Alphaville's "Afternoons in Utopia" / PSB Bilingual
Although it isn't cool, hip, hipster, or even recent, German synth-pop band Alphaville's "Afternoons in Utopia" is not only a single-sitting album, it loops. The first song, IAO, begins with "…night." The last song on the album, Lady Bright" has these lyrics:

Cards!
Holy crap, I just remembered that I had the Topps collectible cards for this movie. I don't know why, either… I don't remember actually going to the film as a child (!). Here are the cards:

Cloak and Dagger is awesome.

Classic slip right there.

That gorilla clip creeps me the f out. It is like a horror movie - the gorilla is INSIDE THE ROOM!

No, no, I conquer… these lands and these people. Or I still haven't adjusted to this stupid time change. If you had said that, I would have concurred.

Dammit!
I've eaten those chips! I guess all I'm getting for my birthday is a vagina.

I conquer. I liked everything but the action scenes. Maybe they had to do it to bring in the teens, but that really isn't what the Watchmen are about.

The teens in my theater did. AND this 35+ yo couple next to me giggled uncontrolably during the sex scene and when Nite Owl was naked looking at his uniform. You're 35. Presumably you've seen nudity before. Get over it.
