With the long weekend and everything else that has been going on, I almost forgot this week. In honor of yesterday's holiday, today's question is inspired by Independence Day...vaguely.
Long before he was the President of the United States (but after he saved the universe as Lone Starr), Bill Pullman was Walter, the guy who lost Meg Ryan to Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle. Walter had serious allergies including one that would make his head "swell up like a watermelon" and cause him to "drop dead." What was this serious allergy to?
Post the answer in the comments section and win bragging rights for a week.
Until later...

The answer is prominently displayed in the title of the next movie this writer/director wrote and directed.
Quite true, and IIRC that movie was quite intolerable.
Does this mean you will not be giving us the answer? I was only joking before about banning you for always answering.
Bah...most of her movies are quite intolerable. She even came close to making me not enjoy my beloved Will Ferrell. I don't remember if it was all kinds or specifically tasty legumes. And I refuse to answer unless I'm sure. And I refuse to watch that movie again to find out. So I reach an impasse.
Was it a nut allergy?
Aurora, Ephron did indeed engender a great deal of good will with When Harry Met Sally and to a lesser extent with Sleepless In Seattle, which she has since squandered by making some horrifyingly bad movies.
I assume that by tasty legumes you were meaning peanuts. It was not that specific, he just had an allergy to nuts in general, which takes us to...
Congrats to Herge. It was indeed a nut allergy.
Let the bragging commence.
Ah. I will blurt out the answer next time. Also, Mixed Nuts was an intolerable movie, on the whole, especially the last 15 minutes which was absolutely vomitous. But there are individual scenes and characters which I hate to admit that I like very much. (Jon Stewart and Parker Posey as the rollerbladers? Liev Schreiber in drag? Hilarious.) I end up watching this every few years around the holidays, and it's grown on me. But I always stop watching before the ridiculous "Zuzu's Petals" ending.
I don't think Tuesday is often enough for trivia...I think it needs to be more often CK!
Sure, I'll get right on that. I'll post trivia questions everyday as soon as I get a research staff...or at least a blogtern.
Bah. You're letting things like the fact that this is a hobby that you don't get paid for stop you...I'm so disappointed.
