Reminds me of Naked gun 33 1/3 (if someone remembers the English 
captions, feel free to fill up - I don't think Finnish will say much).

It's in his contract, actually. They're obligated to put him in each movie.

Yeah. Or the one in the Silver Surfer movie, where they don't let him 
into the wedding because he doesn't have an invitation, and he's all 
"But I'm Stan Lee!"

There was no connection other than the name tripped that memory in my 
mind. :-)

Yes, the actor. ;-)  Played Richard in the radio version of DGHDA. :-)

Ah, now I didn't know that.  Still, it's cool that they're doing that.

You know, I need to rent that one and see it - I wanted to see it in the 
cinema, but we never got around to it.  I'm thinking we need to go see 
Hulk in the next day or so (taking a couple days off work).

So you've seen it, but you don't think you'd recognise the music to it? 
And if person A called person B a "wicked witch of the west", you 
wouldn't know what they're talking about?

(FWIW, American Film Institute (the folks who bring you the Oscars) had 
a show yesterday of the top-10-top-10 movies. Wizard of Oz was the #1 
fantasy movie of all times. So, yeah, it's part of the culture, I'd 
think. :-)
