I just wanted to see a show of hands of how many people get the joke behind
that line from the Thriller video. :-) If you don't, I'll fill you in.

I don't know if it's a joke. That's just a John Landis thing. Like a
signature, right?

I don't think anybody said that. It was an ad for a movie or something.
I'll have to watch it again.

You mean while MJ is watching the movie, the narrator says "See you next
Wednesday". Is that right? What is the joke behind it?

Yes! In several of them. American Werewolf in London & several others. I
don't remember anybody saying that in Thriller. I knew it was in there but
I thought it was a movie ad or something. I can't watch it now 'cuz the
kids are watching a show on how to perform magic tricks.

Well I guess we've all learned something. For those that didn't know, I was
referring the porno movie scene from "An American Werewolf In London." What I
didn't know was that it's apparently Landis' trademark. I've only seen two of
Landis' movies (Werewolf and Coming To America), so I wouldn't know about the
alleged reoccurence of the phrase.

He doesn't always do it. I think there are less than 10. But there was a
series he was involved in that they said, "See you next Tuesday. I mean
Wednesday," or something like that. There wasn't one in Animal House.

In a train station or a subway or something. On a movie ad.

Wow i'd never heard of this before, but it would be just like Landis to have this
Hitchcock like signatue in his movies. Does John Landis actually say the words
'see you next Wednesday'? It still begs the question, why? Must be an in joke
between him and his family i imagine. Now im really curious..... ;-)

I just love this kind of stuff. I love it when Stephen King shows up in his
movies. Like the screenplay writer of The Lost World played a guy that was
eaten by the T-rex in the movie.

Neil Diamond sung a song called Coming To America. I believe it was sung in
his movie the Jazz Singer.

Oh yeah, I remember that song. But I was referring to the Eddie Murphy
movie.
