Jenni’s Movie Quote Game (now with even more hints!)

LizzieLou | trivia | Saturday, January 24th, 2009

As purloined from Facebook for playing here…

RULES:
1. Pick 20 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDB, find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them 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 functions. That’s cheating and it ruins the fun.

Let’s begin! And remember, documentaries and animated shorts may be represented here as well. And I will even add who said it…

  1. I’m not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou. (Marge Gunderson, 1996) Fargo – guessed by Jenni
  2. A: Nobody can stab a corpse and not know it. – B: Really? When was the last time you stabbed a corpse? (A=Mary MacEachran B=Robert Parks, 2001) Gosford Park – Lolly
  3. I like a man with a glass in his hand. (Anna Kalman, 1958)
  4. I’m not going to waste my time arguing with a man who’s lining up to be a hot lunch. That’s a twenty-footer! (Matt Hooper, 1975) Jaws – guessed by Jenni
  5. A: Yeah, I can hear you now. ‘Get out of my life. You’re a perfectly wonderful woman – you’re too good for me.’ Look, Mr. Jefferies, I’m not an educated woman, but I can tell you one thing. When a man and a woman see each other and like each other they ought to come together – wham! Like a couple of taxis on Broadway, not sit around analyzing each other like two specimens in a bottle.
    B: There’s an intelligent way to approach marriage.
    A: Intelligence! Nothing has caused the human race so much trouble as intelligence. Hah! Modern marriage! (A=Stella B=L.B., 1954)
  6. Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin’ the cemetery? (Royal, 2001)
  7. You’re very frank, Clarice. I think it would be quite something to know you in private life. (1991) Silence of the Laaaambs – Lolly
  8. A: Are these trunks full of bodies?  – B: Just those, but I don’t intend to unpack them. – A: Well, I was just thinking if the room got too crowded, we could live in the trunks. (A=Jean Maitland B=Terry Randall, 1937)
  9. No more lodgers – more trouble than they’re worth! (Wallace, 1993) The Wrong Trousers – guessed by Jenni 
  10. A: Second-hand smoke kills you know. – B: Not reliably. (A=Leo Katzman B=Nicole Horner, 1996) Diabolique – Lolly
  11. A fish and a bird can fall in love, but where do they build their home? (Eva Singer, 1994)
  12. A: What is it, do you see… somethings… strange perhaps? Hmm? – B: You are wearing a dress, Your Grace. (1998) Elizabeth – Lolly
  13. A: Hey listen, if you guys do something later, can I join you?  – B: We’re not gonna do something.  – A: No, I know, but if you do, can I join you? – B: We’re not gonna do something later. – A: Okay, but, if you do? – B: Okay. – A: Cool. (A=Joe Oramas B=Finbar McBride, 2003) The Station Agent – Lolly
  14. You noble wives and mothers bore the brains out of me. And I bet you bore your husbands, too. (Crystal Allen, 1939)
  15. It’s not like I’m a lesbian or anything. I’m attracted to the person. It’s just that all the people I’ve been attracted to happen to be girls. (Tammy Metzler, 1999) Election – guessed by Jenni
  16. When one may not have long to live, why shouldn’t one have fancies? (1936) Camille – guessed by Rachel!
  17. It’s because I flooded the bathroom and the ceiling fell in and the cats ran off, that’s when she started talking about Morocco and the sufi’s. Mom says a sufi doesn’t ask who a sufi is… so what the hell is a sufi anyway? (Bea, 1998)
  18. They shouldn’t “have their feelings hurt?” What a dumb fuck. (Natalie Maines, 2006) Shut Up and Sing – Lolly
  19. [I'm ungrateful and desperate for admiration. Say whatever you like. But don't make me a victim, because it's my goddamned mediocre little right to be free as long as I can.] (Felice Schragenheim, 1999)
  20. Don’t forget to kill Philip! (Ed, 2004)

AND THE REMAINING ANSWERS ARE….

3.  Indiscreet (Ingrid Bergman)

5. Rear Window (Thelma Ritter & Jimmy Stewart)

6. The Royal Tenebaums

8. Stage Door (Ginger Rogers & Katharine Hepburn)

11. Corrina, Corrina

14. The Women (Joan Crawford)

17. Hideous Kinky

19. Aimee & Jaguar

20. Shaun of the Dead

Thank You for Playing!

So This Thing Happened…

LizzieLou | news & politics | Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

… yesterday, after I came home from work. I put on the telly in the evening to watch Rachel Maddow Show coverage of the inauguration (which I was able to quietly monitor during the day thanks to the CNN/Facebook live streaming coverage) and I heard her say something about “blah blah the president blah blah.” My insides clenched and my nostrils flared as has been happening autonomically for the last 8 years, but then I suddenly realized that it was a totally different “the President” she was talking about and I unclenched and unflared and began to ooze tears of relief. Again, like election night, but better. I feel a little lighter even today.

Last Year in Reviews

LizzieLou | year in review | Sunday, January 4th, 2009

Favorite Movies I saw last year:

Persepolis (07)
The Savages (07)
Lars and the Real Girl (07)
The Visitor (08)
Planet Earth (06)
– the miniseries; it’s not a movie really, but it needs to be here,

and, the educational film that is shown at the Rocky Reach Dam. Seriously, I loved that movie. I have no idea why.

Favorite Play I saw last year:  Godspell

Favorite Other Performance of last year (on CD):  Julia Sweeney’s Letting Go of God

And… A Few New Things that I did last year:

Ate sardine heads
Broke a fibula
Caucused
Drove over to Lake Chelan
Refinished woodwork
Saw wildlife doin’ it in the yard.

I have high hopes for 2009. So far it is off to a good start.
