Posted: 12/23/05 at 1:07pmIn the eighties guilty pleasure VISION QUEST, Matthew Modine's sidekick is a Cherokee hottie played by the shlurpy Michael Schoffling. His name? "Cootch". Obviously the movie was made before the word's connotation with "vagina" became popularized. Watching the film again on cable recently, every time his name was said: "Hey, what's up COOTCH?", you can't help but wince a little.

Someone should have told Sam & Bella Spewack that "Lois Lane" was already Superman's girlfriend when they gave the same name to a character in KISS ME KATE.

Posted: 12/23/05 at 1:57pmI've always wanted to know what the beasts name was! He is simply referred to as beast and it annoys me that he was never given a truely human identity (selfish prince... anything else).

Posted: 12/23/05 at 2:02pmWhile we're on Sam & Bella, why couldn't they have given the gangsters names? They're meaty roles considering that their names are "Man 1" and "Man 2."

Posted: 12/23/05 at 2:10pmI've always thought that Cotton Weary was a strange name. Cool, but strange.

Posted: 12/23/05 at 5:35pmAlthough I certainly felt sorry for poor Burnside Gooch. I'll bet that kid got beat up every day.
