Meme: Weekend matinee
Here’s a cool meme I picked up over at Sizzle’s. I didn’t do too well on hers because I’m into a different kind of movies, but it was fun to play. Here?s how it works, should you decide to participate, too:
- Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
- Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie (or quote them from memory because you are that badass).
- Post them on your blog for everyone to guess.
- Fill in the film title once it?s been guessed.
These are the players’ rules:
No Googling or using IMDb search functions (don?t cheat!).
Leave your answer(s) in the comments.
By the way, not only are these 15 of my favorite films, these are 15 of my favorite quotes of all time. Now, shall we begin?
1. “My uncle used to say that we like people for their qualities but we love them for their defects.” [Hellboy, guessed by Laughing Muse]
2. “The plan is you drink a nice tall glass of Shut The Fuck Up!” [Dawn Of The Dead, guessed by Curiosity Killer]
3. “Did IQs drop sharply while I was away?” [Aliens, guessed by Laughing Muse]
4. “Believing oneself to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind.” [Star Trek: First Contact, guessed by Steven]
5. “Music’s the only thing that makes sense anymore, man. Play it loud enough, it keeps the demons away.” [Across The Universe, guessed by Kilax]
6. “Goin’ on a year now I ain’t had nothin’ twixt my nethers weren’t run on batteries!” [Serenity, guessed by Suze]
7. “Reverse Darwinism ? survival of the most idiotic.” [Jurassic Park III; no one guessed this!]
8. “You’re lucky you weren’t alive during the Microsoft conflict. Hell, we were beating each other with our own severed limbs.” [Jason X, guessed by Bec]
9. “One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn vampires.” [The Lost Boys, guessed by Hilly]
10. “Can I get any of you cunts a drink?” [Shaun Of The Dead, guessed by Fig]
11. “I knew your sister. She was a homicidal bitch.” [Resident Evil: Extinction, guessed by Juli]
12. “Seriously, when was the last time you ever turned on the radio to listen to popular music? ’70s, ’80s? Michael Jackson was still black? Pearl Jam, maybe?” [Live Free Or Die Hard, guessed by Juli]
13. “Regrets are a waste of time. They’re the past crippling you in the present.” [Under The Tuscan Sun, guessed by Sizzle]
14. “Broke into the wrong goddamn rec room, didn’t ya, you bastard!” [Tremors, guessed by Bec]
15. “I don’t give a shit about sleeping, Leon. I want love, or death. That’s it.” [The Professional (aka Leon), guessed by Bec]

#6 - Serenity. I love Kaylee :)
suze’s last blog post..i wonder if he is using the same wind we are using***
March 16th, 2008 at 6:39 am
And Suze is on the board! Bret loves Kaylee too, but can’t stand Jewel Stait’s character on Stargate: Atlantis.
March 16th, 2008 at 8:38 am
10 is Shaun of the Dead… I just saw that movie… those guys are awesome!
Fig’s last blog post..Well, she was beautiful and? I stole a pair of her panties as well.
March 16th, 2008 at 9:57 am
Yeah, I love that movie too, Fig! I really had a hard time choosing which quote to use, there are so many great lines from it.
March 16th, 2008 at 10:00 am
14 - Tremors (I love love love this film)
15 - Leon (This was on a friend’s wall at uni)
Bec’s last blog post..Spontaneous Combustion
March 16th, 2008 at 10:30 am
You are correct, Bec, although in the U.S. Leon is known as The Professional. And I’m embarrassed to say I can recite almost the entire dialog of Tremors from memory. :oops:
March 16th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
#2 — DAWN OF THE DEAD!!!
Love that movie.
CuriosityKiller’s last blog post..Feel the Love

March 16th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
#3: Aliens (at Ripley’s corporate inquest)
#1: Oh, dangit…I was just watching it the other day…hell, now what movie was that?!?? (I had it on for background noise while I rewrote some site copy. Dangit..!)

Well #13 I know. Under the Tuscan Sun. Great movie!

March 16th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Muse: You’re right on #3, and umm, you *almost* got the title of #1 …
Sizzle: Maybe you forgot to click the Submit button? I do that all the time! But you are correct on Under The Tuscan Sun.
March 17th, 2008 at 4:03 am
I know that I know #12 but I can’t think of it for the life of me.
kapgar’s last blog post..On the rocky road to Dublin…

Kevin: #12 is one of the newest movies on this quiz, and stars my favorite hero of all time …
March 17th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Remembered! Remembered! This is how I spend my days at work - running quotes round my head!

Bec: Correctamundo!!!
Ok, people, five left!!! Mostly sci-fi. I made them red so they stand out.
March 17th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

March 17th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Oops, posted too fast…
I know #12, too!!! Live Free or Die Hard
Yea, me!
March 18th, 2008 at 6:25 am
Juli: I AM SO PROUD. You are indeed my daughter.
Love you, sweetie! xoxoxoxo
March 18th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Ah - remembered it! #1 is the youngish agent speaking to Liz, from Hellboy. (It was on again this weekend, and again I had it on as ‘background noise’. And yet, the website copy still didn’t get written. I need new ‘background noise’…)
Yeah, I almost did get it the first time, didn’t I?
Laughing Muse’s last blog post..Yay, progress!
March 18th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Muse: Yes, that’s it! Hellboy never works as background for me, either. I always end up on the couch, watching and chuckling. I’m a huge fan of Ron Perlman.
“Hey John, what’s a good word, a solid word for ‘need’?”
“Well, need’s a good, solid word.”
“Nah. Too needy.”
:D
March 19th, 2008 at 6:07 am
A little late, but I’m pretty sure #7 is idiocracy.
March 19th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Ooh, ooh. #4 is Data’s quote from Star Trek First Contact when he is talking to the hot Borg leader.
March 19th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Kim: Sorry, no.
Steven: THANK YOU!!! I knew you’d know it.
