    In shooting the sequence of Bourne chasing The Professor, Liman filmed the shots of Damon and 2nd Unit Director Alexander Witt filmed Clive Owen. The units came together in the field as the two characters do in the film. 25/34

    It's a Gilligan's Island spin-off except the Skipper is a pedo, Gilligan is a bald Nazi, the Billionaire is a South African white supremacist, the Professor chugs raw milk and snorts coke from a toilet seat, and the Movie Star is a former Slovenian prostitute. Did I get it right?

    I'm just glad this happened ~after~ the Professor Layton series already more or less wrapped up solidly. It got two good trilogies, a movie, a crossover with Ace Attorney, and it was done. It can all be appreciated in a vacuum away from whatever NWoS is tainted with.

    After a preview of the film Universal decided there should be another action scene after The Professor. The last 30 minutes of the film had to be re-shot in 10 days over 2 different countries to achieve this new ending. 31/34

    Name a Futurama quote: "So what does this mean for us and our many fans?" From Bender's Big Score 2007 when the Professor announces the new movie. I believe this was right as the first batch of seasons got cancelled by Fox and they started going the movies before they moved to Comedy Central.

    This film inspired a TV series. The series bore almost no resemblance to the movie or W.R. Burnett's book, except for one episode, "The Professor." That episode followed a Doc Riedenschneider type character planning a heist similar to the book and film. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Asp... #TCMParty

    BEYOND THE DOOR is a favorite around here, an extremely silly and overlong Italian EXORCIST ripoff filmed as a faux American movie in San Francisco with Richard Johnson as a regretful Satanist and Juliet “Nanny and the Professor” Mills yarking up colored slime. It was a hit!

    One of my favorite jokes in Futurama is Bender saying he prefers the photo quality of film over digital images and the Professor is like "How can you even tell!? Your eyes are digital lenses!"

    Wasn't it "the movie star and the rest"? I believe the Professor was sadly one of said "rest" at the time. Yes, I watched too much TV as a child.

    It’s weird to say that someone I never met and didn’t know meant so much to me. It’s a weird feeling. But I grew up watching him. He was The Captain. He was The Professor. He was The Emperor. And more. Rest In Peace, Sir. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

    Hah, when I was a kid some friends and I went to see the Disney movie EMIL AND THE DETECTIVES; a nerdy boy in the movie was only known as "The Professor" and from then on that's what my friends called me. It was meant as teasing, a not-unfriendly insult, but I secretly took it as a compliment 🤣

    #Futurama + #Movie (Idea) “Futurama’s First Movie”. The Professor had made a Paradox Time Machine that summons anyone from any time. Bender made a mistake & causes a timeline merge. Fry finally meet his parents in the future; however, time gone wrong with MOM taking over.
