Because I have nothing productive to say
So here, have a bit of a game! I snagged this from Bee, and BFDynamo. The premise is to go to imdb.com, and look up 15 of your favorite movies, and copy down quotes for them. Then others try to guess which movie it’s from. When someone guesses correctly, I’ll strike out that quote. Person with the most correct wins >9000 internets.
1) “There is no news. There is only the truth of the signal. What I see. And, there’s the puppet theater the Parliament jesters foist on the somnambulant public.” Mrs.Millur and nuckingfutz both got this one! Even though Mrs.Millur got it first, nuckingfutz wouldn’t have seen the post, since I had to approve them. It’s from Serenity, the movie based on the Firefly series. <3
2) “Give yourself over to absolute pleasure.” Correctly answered as Rocky Horror Picture show, by goodbyemyboy!
3) “She is tolerable, I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me.” Gotten by Sarah, of BFDynamo! (It’s from the 6-hour, A&E Pride and Prejudice miniseries. Oh yes, I’m so cool.
)
4) “Romantic? Hemingway? He was an abusive, alcoholic misogynist who squandered half of his life hanging around Picasso trying to nail his leftovers.” Mrs.Millur gets this one again! It’s Ten Things I Hate About You, which is up there at the top of my favorite movies list. <3
5) “I’m gonna get out of the car and drop you like third period French.” Ducky’s got this one! It’s from Ocean’s Eleven.
6) “There’s no Christmas in the Army!”
7) “The prettiest sight in this fine pretty world is the privileged class enjoying its privileges.” It’s The Philadelphia Story! Starring Katharine Hepburn (<3), and Jimmy Stewart. Congrats to Weightless One!
“See, I’m a man of simple tastes. I like dynamite…and gunpowder…and gasoline! Do you know what all of these things have in common? They’re cheap!” This one identified by PaleAndNerdy, as the new batman movie, The Dark Knight.
9) “It is YOUR LUCKY DAY… to be baptized into the Greek Orthodox Church!” Congrats to Bee, for guessing My Big Fat Greek Wedding!
10) “Its called an easy-out-clause because its supposed to be EASY”
11) “At last! My arm is complete again!” Bee nails another one, with Sweeny Todd!
12) “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.” And another correct guess by goodbyemyboy.
13) “Oh! What a cute little chair. Why, there’s seven little chairs. Must be seven little children. And from the look of this table, seven untidy little children.” This one goes to nuckingfutz, for Snow White, which was the very first movie I ever saw in theaters.
14) “Come in. Come in, my child. We mustn’t lurk in doorways. It’s rude. One might question your upbringing.” It’s The Little Mermaid! Congrats to 32-P!
15) “Me? I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It’s the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they’re going to do something incredibly… stupid.” Pet~, and Fat Angie tie it up with Pirates of the Carribean! (Curse of the Black Pearl).
And there we have it. Happy guessing.

Oooh, I know, I know! #9 is from My Big Fat Greek Wedding and #11 is from Sweeney Todd. Right?

#1 – SERENITY!!!! Shiiiiiiiiit, I even read it with Mr. Universe’s voice in my head.
13 is Snow White.
The last two I recognize but I’ll be damned if I can put my finger on them.

3) “She is tolerable, I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me.”

Pale and Nerdy: Yep! I’m surprised someone didn’t get that one sooner. xD
Sarah: It most certainly is! The 6 hour A&E version. I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen it. I lovelovelove it. xD

#4 is from 10 Things I Hate About You.
Big David Krumholtz fan?
and #14 sounds like something the White Witch would say in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Mrs.Millur,
Correct on #4, but try again on #14. :3
integgy said,
August 11, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Pet and Fat Angies, you’re both correct! (And it counts as a tie again, since I have to moderate comments. xD)

Weightless: Oh how I love you for guessing that one. I was wondering if anyone would get it. <33

Is 14 ‘The Little Mermaid’? I just have this strong visual impression of darkness and of a woman’s husky, evil voice…

32-P, you are right indeed.

Oh! Sorry I’m late to the party but #5 is Ocean’s Eleven! At least, I think it is. . .

Ducky: Hurrah, another one down! People can say it was a terrible movie all they like, but I loved it. xD
