Year: 1988
Director: Bud Yorkin
Plot: In this sequel to the 1981 hit comedy Arthur, the story picks up where it left off with the bibulous millionaire hero (Dudley Moore) marrying poverty-stricken Linda Marolla (Liza Minnelli) instead of going through with a prearranged wealthy marriage. The vengeful father (Stephen Elliott) of the justifiably jilted bride begins pulling a few crooked strings, and before long, Arthur is broke. Worse still, Linda is pregnant. Will Arthur crawl back into a bottle, or will he save the day? John Gielgud makes a cameo appearance as the ghost of the family-retainer character he played in the first Arthur, while Dudley Moore's real-life wife Brogan Lane shows up in a minor role. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: I've been tagged by FilmSnob to participate in the Eight Things meme that's been going around. All the cool kids are doing it, and it's Friday, so why the hell not? But in the interest of keeping things around here *somewhat* on topic, I will try to keep this semi-film related. First, the rules: Rules: 1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts. 2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves. 3. People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules. 4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and that they should read your blog. Now, the things: 1) I have never seen the following films: Gone with the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, The Goonies or Gremlins. 2)When I first moved to New York, I was broke, working full time and going to school at night. I came up with a crack-pot scheme to track down Peter Bogdanovich and convince him to let me be his personal secretary. I was totally ready to put it into action, until a roommate talked me out of it. 3) I've walked out of far too many films in tears--films that could not in any way be construed as tearjerkers--films like Dodgeball, and Independence Day. I think there's actually something wrong with my eyes; they tend to tear up when I stare at any kind of screen for a long stretch of time. This is just one of many reasons why, like FilmSnob... 4) I prefer to see films alone. Another reason: I get extremely claustrophobic in movie theaters unless there is at least one empty seat next to me. 5) I have dressed up as the following fictional characters for Halloween: Holly Golightly, Sally Bowles, Marla Singer. 6) Speaking of Sally Bowles: I'm such an unrepentant Judy Garland fanatic that I give a pass to pretty much everything Liza Minnelli does. With the possible exception of Arthur 2: On the Rocks. 7) I have a ton of VHS tapes that I rescued from bargain bins with the intention of burning them to DVD, but that, due to my own stunning laziness, are just sitting on my shelves collecting dust. Some of these include: Where the Green Ants Dream, Two For the Road and Zabriskie Point. I hate myself for being this lazy, but the self-loathing just breeds more laziness. 8) When I was in ninth grade, I went to see Pulp Fiction with a guy named Gil, who went on to direct Monster House. Now that that's over, I beg for attention from tag the following bloggers to participate in the meme: Aaron Dobbs, Michael Tully, Ariel Waldman, Tom Hall, Wiley Wiggins, Gabe Rivera, Randall Bennett , Jason Calacanis, and Virginia Heffernan.
