Hot Fuzz was great, really unforgettable gunplay in that movie.

Have at this one:


Character 1: (motions to boombox) Mikey didn't tell you about these?

Character 2: What?

Character 1: You can't use these.

Character 2: Why not?

Character 1: Rule one: Music creates sonic vibrations. Vibrations jiggle spooge dust into the air. Gets into the air, it gets into your lungs. This the kind of music you plan on listening to here, buddy?

Character 2: Yeah.

Character 1: Yeah, yeah, you trying to kill us all? Put it away, or play something else, man, like Yanni, or John Tesh or something, all right? I'll see you guys at lunch. Going down deep!

Character 3: Later.

Character 2: Who's Yanni?


I can think of someone here who should know this scene right out of the gate, though I certainly understand if they want to give other people a chance at answering first.

OMG. A movie I was hoping to never remember again. Who would have ever thought that a "horror" movie about an asbestos cleaning crew in an old abandoned mental hospital would ever get funding. But it did. And it even has one of my least favorite actors (sorry to anyone who I may offend who likes David Caruso).

Session 9

If this movie can get funding why can't my movie about mutated pumpkins that come to life to carve themselves into Jack-O-Lanterns and go on a killing spree every Halloween get funding????

-Garrett

...sorry to offend anyone who likes this movie but I'm still on my rant about the movie industry not being able to come up with anything original. This story has been made about a thousand times

Really, Garrett? I thought "Session 9" was pretty good actually (and not just because I worked on it). Creepy and it kept you guessing. Even though it has the "people getting picked off one by one" format that has indeed been made a thousand times, I thought the setup and execution were original enough.

"Session 9" has been in my mind of late as I just finished working on my second horror film set in a mental institution--can't seem to escape these I guess.

FYI the budget on "Session 9" was quite low--IMDB lists it at $1.5M. It was one of the first features shot on the F900.

Wow. "OMG" indeed. My blood is boiling in almost violent disagreement (frankly I'm having trouble typing with my hands shaking like this), but you are correct, that was "Session 9", easily one of my top ten favorite movies. I actually never cared for David Caruso until I saw this, I thought he did rather well.

I'm honestly, truly shocked to hear anyone could think so little of the film, let alone that it's considered derivative, but it takes all kinds, and I suppose I should expect to have my taste in film called into question in a thread like this.

She's all yours, Garrett!

Sorry to anyone I may have offended. Just my own personal opinion and what I am sure is my warped view on films. Could be from watching Star Wars 50 times in one week (At least the beginning of it).

It could also be that I really do not like David Caruso. But again just my opinion.

Here the next quote. I think this one may go quickly:

"When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed."

Then later but same character:

"Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."

Have at it.

Garrett

Patton. Starring the one and only George C. Scott.

Wow. I thought someone would get that pretty fast but not that quick. Your turn Lorinda.

-Garrett

The "poor dumb bastard" quote gives the movie away - if you've seen it, you probably would remember at least that part.

I always liked the ending line, myself. "You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great World War II, you won't have to say . . ."

Heh...yes, there's one line we won't finish here... :)

That movie and I go back a ways--my dad took us to see it in the theatre. I’ll never forget the image of G.C. Scott standing alone in uniform on a stage with the huge American flag behind him. It almost seemed as if he was standing in the theatre talking to us.

Here’s a sequence from a more recent film:

Character 1: Hey, you better mind your manners.

Character 2: Oh relax, cupcake, it was a joke.

Character 1: Hey farmboy. Maybe you can't count. But there are four of us and one of you.

Character 2: So get some more guys and then it'll be an even fight.

Hint: Might not have been the best pick because of those who don't watch movies in the theaters. This one won't be released on DVD until November.

Ha! Finally one movie I know. Star Trek, 2009. Young Captain Kirk is one, and I don't remember the other character's name (I just remember him as "the cupcake security type".

You got it, Daniel! Take it away...

(By the way, why aren't you and I working on our trailers?) :)

^ Star Trek.

edit: Didn't see that somebody else had already gotten it.

I'm, ah, 'researching'. Yes. Researching. :)


This ought not be very difficult -

Character 1: Who in their right mind, in a choice between pancakes and living, chooses pancakes?

Character 2: *********, if you pause to think, you'd realize that that answer is inextricably contingent upon the type of life being led . . . and, of course, on the quality of the pancakes.

Shoot I know this one.. I can't think of the name of the movie. I can even here the actor saying the line....

hmmm...my old brain is getting rattled.

-Garrttt

Another from the same film.



Character 1: Character 3, what you're describing is anarchy. Are you an anarchist?

Character 3: You mean, am I a member of...

Character 1: An anarchist group, yes.

Character 3: Anarchists have a group?

Character 1: I believe so, sure.

Character 3: They assemble?

Character 1: I don't know.

Character 3: Wouldn't that completely defeat the purpose?

I don't know the answer to this round, but so far, it sounds like a movie I would want to watch.

-Jon

Quote Three.

Character 2: Let me ask you this. On a scale of one to ten, what are the chances that you'll be assassinated?

Character 1: Assassinated?

Character 2: One being highly unlikely, ten being you're expecting it around every corner.

Sounds like my kind of movie, but I can't say I've ever seen it, much less heard any of those quotes...

Fourth time's the charm? :)



Character 4: [narrating] Little did he know that this simple, seemingly innocuous act would result in his imminent death.
Character 1: What? What? Hey! Hello! What? Why? Why MY death? HELLO? Excuse me? WHEN?

Ah! I think that fourth quote did it; I knew I'd heard this from somewhere, it was driving me crazy. Is it "Stranger Than Fiction", with Will Ferrell and Emma Thompson?

I figured that one would give it away. I was about to run out of quotes!

It's all yours, Robert.

I swear, one of these days I'm going to guess a movie right away, based on some incredibly obscure quote, and impress everyone (read: no one) with the collection of totally useless trivia filling my head; until then, try this one on for size:


Character 1: I don't know. I'll tell them something. I'll tell them we're spraying for bugs, or something. It should just be a day or two, anyways. I mean, unless you want to bring them in.

Character 2: No, no, it's just ... I mean, they have their work in there, too.

Character 1: You know if Character 3 finds out about that or even sees it he's going to have to take it apart ...

Character 2: No, I --

Character 1: ... you know, I'm just putting a love tweak on it.

Character 2: Yeah, I know. No, you're right.

Character 1: Character 2, it's my garage, okay? It's not like they're paying rent.

Pulp Fiction?

Nope, sorry, you're about a decade too early, though the movie was actually shot a few years before it was released.

Sticking with the pattern I used last time, twenty-four hours between clues, here's the next conversation, taken from the scene immediately preceding the last quote:


Characters 1 and 2 are discussing a device they've built in Character 1's garage.

Character 1: You want to see something weirder? Okay, let's go over this again. Two batteries, right? Twenty-four volts?

Character 2 nods.

Character 1: What are we pulling out of this one? Just for fun.

Character 2: Twelve volts.

Character 1 disconnects the first battery and kicks it aside.

Character 1: How about this one?

Character 2: Should be twelve volts.

Character 1 disconnects the other battery and pushes it aside as well. The machine is still running.

Character 1: So what the hell is this thing?

Character 2: (incredulous) It doesn't stay like that.

Character 1: No, I mean it winds down in a few minutes ... what does that?

Little late today, sorry. No guesses yet? All right, then, the stops are pulled, here's what I'd say is the film's most memorable line:


Aaron: Man, are you hungry? I haven't eaten since later this afternoon.


I don't know how much help the character name will be, as I'm be pretty sure you'll recognize the quote if you know the movie. Can't hurt to include it, though.

I'll also reveal the film is a fairly small independent endeavor, involving relatively few cast and crew members, many having roles on both sides of the camera. Shot in 2001 for about seven thousand dollars (if I remember the DVD commentary correctly), the film wasn't released until 2004. Finally, the movie features a practically incomprehensible story, and only after I watched it again yesterday (the fourth time I've seen the movie, in total) did I start to understand it. One of my favorites nonetheless.

Well, here we are again. The film in question is the low budget time travel puzzlebox "Primer", which I highly recommend if you're in to stories you have to piece together yourself. I'd describe it as David Lynch directs "Back to the Future", but about half as confusing as that would actually turn out.

Here's an easy one to get us back up and moving again:


Dimpus Burger Guy: Right, uh, beverage?

Farva: Gimme a, uh, liter o' cola.

Dimpus Burger Guy: A what?

Farva: A liter o' cola?

Dimpus Burger Guy: Literocola. Do we make Literocola?

Thorny: Will you just order a large, Farva?

Farva: I don't want a large Farva. I want a goddamn liter o' cola.

Dimpus Burger Guy: I don't know what that is.

Farva: "Liter" is French for "give me some ****in' cola before I break vous ****in' lip!"

Super Troopers. You had me at Farva.

I never get tired of watching that movie; hooks me in every time it's on TV.

Your turn, Chris!

Alright. Here we go.

Character 1: This is a lovely golf course, I'm tempted to join the club.
Character 2: I'm afraid you can't.
Character 1: You mean they discriminate against Scots?
Character 2: No, they just don't want assholes in the clubhouse.

No takers? Jeez. Here's another one, from the same movie.

Character 1: Character 2! You've been overeating again, haven't you?
Character 2: Uh, no I haven't.
Character 1: Then explain to me why there is black forest cherry cake in your cleavage!

Okay... well, hopefully somebody will at least attempt it now. Hint... this line contains a portion of the title.

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen. Your attention please. Welcome to the newest, the greatest, the most spectacular in entertainment history. Put your hands together for the Fabulous Feebles Variety Hour.

Aha. A Peter Jackson film! Well done. I'm not taking it, so it's still up for grabs...

Pretty sure that no one else is going to get it, so it's all yours, Chris.

Okay, so that was Meet The Feebles... it's past my bedtime right now, but I'll have a quote for y'all in the morning.

Thanks Chris. I was stumped and knew I wasn't gonna guess it. I pretty much try to limit my cheating to tic-tac-toe and resisted the urge to google the quote.

-Jon

1: "I've been having this nightmare. A real swinger of a nightmare, too. Has to do with, uh, all kinds of strange people."

2: "Is it about a Russian general and some Chinese and me and the men who were on the patrol?"

1: "How did you know that? How do you know?"

2: "Take your hands off me."

Come on, I thought this one would be dead easy!

I'm gonna guess "The Manchurian Candidate". The original one with ol' Blue Eyes.

-Jon
