Or Was It A Monorail? Kayak? Hovercraft?

For the guy in charge of a huge entertainment conglomerate, Dick Parsons isn't so great with the film trivia. Here he is in New York:

What of reports that he's angling to replace Mike Bloomberg as mayor? He's not so interested. "Tough job," he says, and shakes his head, thinking about taking 4 a.m. calls from Con Ed or Ray Kelly. "Tough job. There was a movie called Throw Mama Under the Bus? This is called Throw Dick Parsons Under the Bus!"

You're lucky that movie was MGM and not Warner Bros., buddy.
