I'm not sure whether it's closure or catharsis or what have you, but I shall now give the answers to all the unanswered questions to all the quizzes I have posted here.
http://samblob.livejournal.com/89811.html
1. Post a list of up to 20 10 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/etc. that you've had an interest in at some time in your life.
2. Have your f-list guess your favorite character from each item.
1. Code Lyoko - Yumi, the responsible one, the strong one, and yet still vulnerable.
2. Azumanga Daioh Sakaki, as stated by alexiel_rieth.
3. Ronin (action movie) - Vincent, easygoing, loyal, and nothing if not pragmatic.
4. Star Trek - The Next Generation Worf, an alien in an alien society, no matter where he is. His ways are a bit too Klingon for the Federation and a lot too Federation for the Klingon. Ironically, he seems to have found kindred spirits on the Enterprise in the form of Data, with similar problems fitting in, and LaForge, who, literally and figuratively, sees the universe a bit differently from everyone else.
5. CSI - Crime Scene Investigation - Katherine Willow. She has all the classic stereotype reasons to be an Alexis Colby/Angela Channing-style *bitch*, but she isn't. She is, however, tough enough to handle almost anything anyone can through at her. Whether she would kill to save her daughter, as she said she would in the airline murder episode, is moot. She *has* killed to save Grissom, and Grissom doesn't mean nearly as much to her as her daughter does.
6. The Muppet Show - erm, I'm not sure I remember the answer to this one, but I think it's Statler and Waldorf.
7. The Magnificent Seven - I *do not* remember the answer to this one. I just know it's not Harry or Calvera, and I don't think it's Chico or Lee either... It's probably the old man.
8. Family Ties - Alex P. Keaton, the ultimate teen rebel. The only way to rebel against the Counterculture is to be as Establishment as one possibly can, and one doesn't get more Establishment than Alex Keaton.
9. The Adventures of Asterix the Gaul - erm... either Asterix or Getafix; I don't remember which.
10. Animaniacs - Rita, the cat. She does have some loyalty to Runt despite him being a dog and being stupid. She also knows that Runt will kill her if he ever finds out the truth about her being a cat. (Yes, it is obvious that she's a cat. However: [a] a cat would never free a dog, [b] Rita freed Runt, so [c] Rita is not a cat. It's just simple logic to Runt.)

1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search or other search functions.
1. "Don't you ever say that again about your fathers, because they are not cowards. You think I am brave because I carry a gun; well, your fathers are much braver because they carry responsibility, for you, your brothers, your sisters, and your mothers. And this responsibility is like a big rock that weighs a ton. It bends and it twists them until finally it buries them under the ground. And there's nobody says they have to do this. They do it because they love you, and because they want to. I have never had this kind of courage. Running a farm, working like a mule every day with no guarantee anything will ever come of it. This is bravery. That's why I never even started anything like that... that's why I never will. " - Bernardo O'Reilly (played by Charles Bronson) from The Magnificent Seven
2. "Either you're part of the problem or you're part of the solution ...or you're just part of the landscape." - Sam (played by Robert deNiro) from Ronin
3. "Grim, grisly, or gruesome, you marry Griswold!" - King Roderick (don't know who played him... ^^; ) from The Court Jester
4. "He was the man who was shot at the Hotel Daniels. You sent us to guard the wrong man, Mr. Chalmers." Lt. Frank Bullitt (played by Steve McQueen) in Bullitt
5. "Hell of a thing to put on your passport, Occupation 'Mel Gibson's bottom.' " William Thacker (played by Hugh Grant) in Notting Hill
6. from The Secret of NIMH as stated by alexiel_rieth
7. "I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it. - The Man With No Name (played by Clint Eastwood) in Fistful of Dollars
8. "If you ever get hungry, our garden back home is full of snails. We tried everything to get rid of them. We never thought of a Frenchman! " - Hank McKenna (don't know who played him) in The Man Who Knew Too Much (the one from the '50s with James Stewart and Doris Day)
9. "I'll tell you what, why don't I steal the diamond, leave that old glove or whatever it is behind, and you and I can split the insurance." - Sir Charles Litton (played by David Niven) in The Pink Panther (the original one, from the '60s)
10. "I'll tell you why. For the same reason that there is a liquor store on almost every corner in the black community. Why? They want us to kill ourselves." - Furious Styles (played by Laurence Fishburne) in Boyz 'n the Hood
11. "Sit tight and listen keenly while I play for you another brand-new musical biscuit from the Hilton's empire. This a brand-new song they call (name of song deleted) 'The Harder They Come', by the man called Ivan!" - DJ Numero Uno (played by Don Topping, a DJ who called himself "El Numero Uno"...) in The Harder They Come
12. "Stay out of it. Leave us alone. Just forget the whole thing. Cause, if you don't, if you try to move in on us, the telephones are going to start ringing again and this time the bells are going to be heard all over the world. That's the message." - Barbara (played by Lee Remick) in Telefon
13. Spirited Away as stated by alexiel_rieth
14. "When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross!" - Detective Inspector Harry Callahan (played by Clint Eastwood) in Dirty Harry
15. "You have to think about one shot. One shot is what it's all about." Michael (played by Robert deNiro) in The Deer Hunter
