and the enslavement to memes continues...
Again, I lifted this audience-participation game from the equally-meme-enslaved KiwiRia.
1. Pick one dozen movies that are ones that you have special feelings about.
2. Pick a few lines of dialogue.
3. As people guess the film, strike out that entry. (I decided to highlight them in yellow instead)
4. If possible, after the film is guessed, explain why that movie made the list.
OK, I know a lot of these are going to be total giveaways. Oh well. :)
- "As the good book says, 'if a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick!'" -- Paula knew this one. And I didn't know that it was a genuine old Jewish saying; thanks for the educational tidbit! I think I should change one of my columns on the left to "learn something new every day..."
- "I'm scared of what I saw, of what I did, of who I am -- and more than anything else, I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling again in my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you!" -- Susan came through for Baby and Johnny :)
- "In vain have I struggled, it will not do. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -- Kat knew her Austen adaptations well :)
- "Christmas? Christmas means dinner; dinner means death! Death means carnage! Christmas means carnage! "
- "I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?" (say this one with the "outrageous" French accent and it may be a little easier) -- Good job KiwiRia; I was beginning to think I'd picked a too-difficult quote from this very quotable movie. :)
- "I'm saying I love you. I'm saying it out loud." -- So I'm not the only one who's seen this skating movie multiple times. ***sigh*** Thanks, Cami! :)
- "I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." -- Cami got this one too. Now I want to have a nice romantic-comedy film fest tonight.
- "Jean Louise. Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing."
- "I think Margaret was right. Piracy is our only option." -- Again, good for Kat
- Sam: Although I cried at the end of "the Dirty Dozen."
Greg: Who didn't?
Sam: Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin [begins to cry] were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis...
Greg: [Crying too] Stop, stop!
Sam: And Trini Lopez...
Greg: Yes, Trini Lopez!
Sam: He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines...
Greg: Stop.
Sam: And Richard Jaeckel - at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...
Greg: [Crying harder] Please no more. Oh God! I loved that movie. -- Debi figured this one out. T and I LOVE that part of that movie. We generally have to watch it multiple times before we can proceed through the rest of the DVD.
- "Playing music is supposed to be fun. It's about heart, it's about feelings, moving people, and something beautiful, and it's not about notes on a page. I can teach you notes on a page, I can't teach you that other stuff." -- Susan again, yay Susan! :) I have a question. Is a crush on a high-school music teacher pretty much a universal thing? Do all girls do this? Because I did.
- "I know I chatter on far too much, but if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't, you'd give me some credit." -- Kat again! Of course a fellow "Kindred Spirit" would know it :)
