Blackbead Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Okay, okay, I've started this reply three times and THIS time I'm going to finish the damn thing! I saw similarities in these areas: 1. Central theme of characters trying to find some way into Heaven. 2. Religious icons being turned into supporting characters. 3. Emphasis on the violent aspects of the struggle between Good and Evil. Etc., etc., etc. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed both movies but I was just pointing out some of the similarities in theme and plot development. BB PS: NOW, does someone have a guess as to the film that Jayme quoted??

Red Jayme Flint Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 now that we be back on topic...ill post it again... "Wait. Could you clarify? Is 10 the highest? 10 being perfectly happy and 1 being totally miserable or... " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caraccioli Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Mr and Mrs Smith Just saw it tonight. Man, that movie went on forever. And could someone tell me how it is that they weren't both dead by the end? (Other than the obvious explanation - it's a action/date movie and they were the "heroes".) Plus, even though they escaped, they'd still be hunted, right? So they could never make their marriage counselling session... All right, this may be a tough one, if only because there's not much to it. "*Heh* X marks the spot!" "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"

Duchess Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Would it be Indiana Jones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caraccioli Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 It would be Indiana Jones (and the Last Crusade). If no one had anything to say by now, I had planned to offer the following clue: The movie is not about piracy, but the main character does steal a boat during the course of it. But now it's uncessary. Your move. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 That be from Shallow Grave. I recall Ewan McGregor saying it.

Blackbead Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Is that from "Dracula - Dead and Loving it?" I have to admit that it was a friend of mine who suggested the answer; that's a flick I've never seen. Does that "count"? Pun intended . . .

Caraccioli Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Oh yes. How did they get 'Italian' out of 'Nosferatu' (which I believe is actually German)? "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbead Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Which, of course, is what makes it hilarious. Kind of like in "A Christmas Story" when the dad says the contents of the crate must be Italian because it says "Fragile", pronounced "frah-gee-lay", on the outside. But, Captain Sophia, am I correct? "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."

Caraccioli Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Ah, but if they'd have said "She's German?" it would have had double meanings. Personally, I would have found that even more entertaining. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caraccioli Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 What? *Looking around* What? It's not my turn to come up with a quote and there's nothing to guess.

Blackbead Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Okay, okay! Here we go . . . in the same "vein": "Hurt you? No. Bite you? YES!!" (Hint: Muriel Pritchett never looked THIS good!)

Blackbead Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Okay, it be hints you're needin', eh? Other stars in the film included Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley, Jr. It was set in modern times but featured some "classic" monsters. The movie owed as much to the movies of the 30's as it did to Glenn Miller's music of the 40's. Look for a performance by a "Seinfeld" star before he was famous. Enough? We'll see . . .

Dorian Lasseter Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Lardy Man! Would it be "Transylvania6-5000"??? I ha'n't seen that movie in years... Who is this Muriel Pritchett?

Blackbead Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Well done, Master Dorian, well done! I secured a copy of this old, over-looked film and have enjoyed it ever since the first time I saw it . . . in a theater! "Muriel Pritchett" was a clue as that was the name of Ms. Davis' chracter in "The Accidental Tourist." Now let the field have a gander at yer quote and sees if we can come up with the correct answer!

Caraccioli Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 No, that was from Real Genius. Val Kilmer looked so young then... "Now, how about that account?

Caraccioli Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hmm. How about a hint. The person to whom this dialogue is directed at is part of a gang planning to rob the bank (this dialogue takes place in a bank - free hint). However, through a weird series of events, the person speaking actually robs the bank before the gang can break in. How's that for a convoluted hint? "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
