Oh OK then, I was going to do this when I first saw it, but I finally got my round tuit supply in. Rules:
+ Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
+ Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
+ Post them here for everyone to guess.
+ Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
+ NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.
- I always gagged on the silver spoon. Citizen Kane, guessed by thepunkprincess
- Half of writing history is hiding the truth. Serenity, guessed by yuxonomei. It was deliberately more obscure given virtually all of you have seen it.
- I'm the head Frog here. The Lost Boys, finally guessed by draich_goch
- A man who no more knows his destiny than a tea leaf knows the history of the East India company. The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, snapesbabe, andrewducker, mooism & thapunkprincess. And not any of the PoTC films, although they may have used the quote?
- Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away? ninebelow & eldar,
- I remember how the meaning of words began to change. How unfamiliar words like "collateral" and "rendition" became frightening, while things like Norsefire and the Articles of Allegiance became powerful. I remember how "different" became dangerous. I still don't understand it, why they hate us so much. feels_like_this, getawaywithit, andrewducker & thapunkprincess
- Her: I'll be back. The Empire Strikes Back, guessed by baseballchica03. Yes, this was a trick question, and no, Terminator 3 does not appear on my list of favourite movies.
- XXX: What is your nationality?
YYY: I'm a drunkard.
XXX: That makes YYY a citizen of the world. Casablanca, finally got by getawaywithit - Disneyland. Fuck, man, this is better than Disneyland. Apocalypse Now, thapunkprincess
- I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. 2001: A Space Odyssey, by snapesbabe & paulatpingu
- Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room. Dr. Strangelove (the obvious one) wieselkind, snapesbabe, paulatpingu, getawaywithit, ninebelow, strangefrontier, andrewducker, eldar, mooism & thapunkprincess
- Enjoying that are you my darlin'? Bit cold and pointless isn't it my lovely? What's happened to yours my little sister? A Clockwork Orange, guessed by yuxonomei, draich_goch & two_brains
- There's more to life than a little money, ya know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are. And it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it. Fargo, guessed by baseballchica03, although draich_goch knew the answer but couldn't name it.
- If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions. Pulp Fiction, by draich_goch
- So God was creating man. And his little assistant came up to him and he said: "Hey, we've got all these bodies left, but we're right out of brains, we're right out of hearts and we're right out of vocal chords." And God said: "Fuck it! Sew 'em up anyway. Smack smiles on the faces and make them talk out of their arses." And lo, God created the Tory Party. Brassed Off, both snapesbabe & thapunkprincess
There's at least one trick question, a few sillynesses, and one so obvious that I expect you all to get it.
In a little twist, comments screened, you have between now and whenever I get bored to answer as many as you can, points awarded for bragging rights, etc...
