Mission

Oho! Foxe has joined us from inside the hallowed halls of Captain Twill! You didn't give us a quote, though, Ed! Once you guess, you have to give us the next quote! So let me... (good luck to all of you on this one. Google won't turn it up.) "Deep in your heart, you have a secret. I guess there is a man you find hard to leave behind." "Yes. A man who has saved my life many times." "Is it he who helped us in the last battle?" "Yes." "Then he has saved my life too... _Do you still love him? ...... _When can we see each other again?" "We cannot. We belong to two opposing sides. If we meet again, one of us will have to die." I don't believe it's on the 16 hours of bonus material from Attack of the Killer Tomatoes that Diego has, either.

Something looks odd about both of them to me. The first one was discussed at length here. The second one...I dunno, it looks funny...not quite right for some reason. It almost looks too fey. While you're looking for 3rd party Jack dolls, check out this thread as well.

Not to wander too far OT, but a Sean Connery game based on which Bond movie?

Dazed and Confused "I gotta work on my game." "No, no, no. Don't think of it at it as work. The whole point is to just enjoy yourself."

Actually, my work revolves primarily around service. I am not (yet) a millionaire either. But I can see how it is possible, again depending on the level of committment and energy I put into it. It's funny, I was talking to a woman at the company that we do a lot of work for today and she was complaining up one side and down the other about how badly she was treated and how poorly she was paid. She ended her diatribe by telling me that she was going to show them by doing the least she possibly could to earn her wage. Er, right. Stick it to the man, honey. (For as long as you can keep that job, that is.) Anyhow, onward to a new random topic... I thought this was sort of interesting; it sort of puts things in perspective. This is the price of gasoline from March 2005 converted to US Dollars. It's exerpted from an article at CNN's website. Netherlands Amsterdam $6.48 Norway Oslo $6.27 Italy Milan $5.96 Denmark Copenhagen $5.93 Belgium Brussels $5.91 Sweden Stockholm $5.80 United Kingdom London $5.79 Germany Frankfurt $5.57 France Paris $5.54 Portugal Lisbon $5.35 Hungary Budapest $4.94 Luxembourg $4.82 Croatia Zagreb $4.81 Ireland Dublin $4.78 Switzerland Geneva $4.74 Spain Madrid $4.55 Japan Tokyo $4.24 Czech Republic Prague $4.19 Romania Bucharest $4.09 Andorra $4.08 Estonia Tallinn $3.62 Bulgaria Sofia $3.52 Brazil Brasilia $3.12 Cuba Havana $3.03 Taiwan Taipei $2.84 Lebanon Beirut $2.63 South Africa Johannesburg $2.62 Nicaragua Managua $2.61 Panama Panama City $2.19 Russia Moscow $2.10 Puerto Rico San Juan $1.74 Saudi Arabia Riyadh $0.91 Kuwait Kuwait City $0.78 Egypt Cairo $0.65 Nigeria Lagos $0.38 Venezuela Caracas $0.12

Nooo...but if they ever make that movie, it'd be a cinch to include that line. Naturally it was in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. (I believe it was in the 16 hours of cut scenes that you appear to have on your DVD, Diego.) However, it was also in another movie.

Good sir knight, are those your steeds behind you? "You are strangely dressed...for a knight." (IAJ III, no need to guess it.) Nope, not Chico Marx, 35 years after - Raul Julia. It's from The Gumball Rally. How about this one: "I'm the world's first fully-functioning homicidal artist."

What would be the point? If you were going to do something like that, you should at least have an elucidated philosophical gripe or a list of demands or something. Personally I doubt the majority would agree to do this anyhow. Most of the worker revolutions in this country seem to have been staged by a small noisy minority who get lots of ink. The press loves stuff like that. One reason I doubt most people would get involved is that it's sort of pointless. The great thing about this country is that anyone who really, genuinely wants to excel (in whatever way that suggests to you), can. It becomes more attainable every day. I know many people in the "service sector" who have become quite successful. I was reading about a cab driver with a fifth grade education who started reading the dictionary while waiting for fares. This allowed him to understand what they were talking about on the stock reports on the radio he listened to all day long, which led to him investing, which eventually led to him buying out the cab company he worked for. People here aren't exactly oppressed unless they choose to be. And, despite what the media would have us believe, the pie is not finite. There's always room for one more millionaire (if that's what you want). All it takes is drive and determination.

Well, there's your problem, Cap'n Pete...you read through all that stuff! With that kind of endurance, you should join Morgan in the Bond masochist-fest. Remember the first law of Italian racing; throw out your rear-view mirror and repeat: "Whatsa behind me, she'sa not important!" (Anyone know what movie that's from?) Board game with Robin Williams must be Jumanji. (Didn't see it, but I can get it from the clues.) Best quote from Airplane (and there were so many): "Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... by an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry Ted. It's a dumb question... skip that."

What!? You get his Australian accent JP quote, but not mine? (It would seem that everyone gave up on my list. It was a bit long. ) The first one is from Planet of the Apes. Is the bonus quote from Thunderdome? For some reason this all reminds me of this quote... "As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "i" in meat pie. Meat is the anagram of team... I don't know what he's talking about."

I think they got more than they bargained for with Sean Connery. They were looking for an inexpensive actor who fit the basic mold and they got someone with a tremendous amount of screen presence. Roger Moore is fun, but he's a little too flip to be taken seriously most of the time. (I loved him in For Your Eyes Only, though.) George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton...poor guys, they had to follow popular actors (whatever you think of Moore, he was very popular as Bond). I personally liked Pierce Brosnan. I just wish he would have brought a bit more of the boyish/devilish Remington Steele to the role than he did. You got the feeling he was angry half the time. Of course, Connery defined the role and he such a strong actor...the right guy at the right time, you might say. I can't avoid getting caught up in the character when I watch Goldfinger or From Russia With Love. Too bad he got so typecast that he turned on the role. William, now that Jill has weighed in, I think we can officially declare you to have stumped us all. Duchess may have known it, but she's off line this week. We'll bring you our guitars.

You really think Moonraker is worse? The premise is more outlandish, that's for sure. Lois Chiles is pretty wooden, but she's better than Britt Eckland. Britt ought to be put out of our misery in that film. She defined and refined the term "dumb blonde". The only saving grace was Christopher Lee. True note: TMWTGG was the film that nearly killed the series. It caused Salzman to sell all his shares in the enterprise to Broccoli because he figured people were fed up with Bond. (Moonraker, on the other hand, was actually the largest grossing Bond film of all time when it came out.) Golden Gun...Phu Yuck!

The best SW quote (or theoretical discussion, if you will) in clerks was this one: "Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt, but what are you talking about?" "The ending of Return of the Jedi" "My friend here is trying to convince me that any independent contractors working on the uncompleted Death Star were innocent victims when it was destroyed by the Rebels." and "All right, so even if independent contractors are working on the Death Star, why are you uneasy with its destruction?" Geez, Capt. Morgan you are a glutton for punishment. Put 'em together with A View to a Kill and have yourself a masochistic Bond weekend. _______ "No, I'm not really James Bond..." -Roger Moore, "The Talented Husband", The Saint TV series

Yeah. Although every one of the five (soon to be six) pics in his Jersey Trilogy contains a SW reference, that one is from clerks.

That was a joke. I've even seen that gawdawful pic three or four times. De plane! De plane! Harold Sakata must have been rolling around in his (very large) grave. (Oops, he was actually alive then.)

:) Sy Snootles, indeed...No, I'd recognize it if it were from a Bond pic. Well, maybe not if it were from The Man With the Golden Gun... Attack of the 50' Woman? What are Pyrate Bonus Points good for?

Yep. That was quite a movie about quite an event.

Nope. (Well, if it was in there, I sure wouldn't know. That movie looked awful and I avoided it like the plague - a PC war movie? I think not...) Right topic, though. TheCaptainWilliam, you of all people should know #7.

Hints all around! Diego, one of those quotes should be one I would think you would know. (#8) (Although, maybe not...I keep thinking you like a certain type of movie and I'm wrong.) 2, 3 and 7 are all from movies we've discussed recently in this thread. I'll give you two of the "hard" ones: #5 is one of the funniest lines from Cats & Dogs (which is worth seeing if you haven't seen it). #6 is from Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time. #9 is also on the pinball game for this movie - when you enter one of the multi-ball modes.

Cut out? Blasphemy! "We've come for your daughter, Chuck!" Lupin handsome? See, that's the great thing about books - you get to choose. I never pictured Lupin as being handsome, I pictured him as being haggard. The duke of haggard. I pictured his hair as being stringy and matted. ___________ My stars! Where did you ever get that awful hairdo? It doesn't become you at all. Here, for goodness sakes, lemme fix it up. Look how stingy and messy it is. What a shame! Such an interesting monster, too. My stars, if an interesting monster can't have an interesting hairdo, then I don't know what things are coming to. In my business you meet so many interesting people. Bobby pins please. But the most interesting ones are the monsters. Oh dear, that'll never stay. We'll just have to have a permenenant.

Well, I don't recognize the first quote, but the second one is definitely from The Shawshank Redemption. A noble sentiment. Ok, I spent 12 hours driving Friday and yesterday and had loads of time to let my mind wander. I came up with a whole slew of quotes the I recalled from movies I liked. Most of them should be easy. For some reason, many of them have a disturbing dog theme, so enjoy that. Free for all: 1. "Nice f---ing model!" 2. "Ok...so...she's a dog." 3. "Is one of us supposed to be a dog in this scenario?" 4. "The dog? You were named after the dog?" 5. "I want you to stay here." "Why?" "Because I hate you." 6. "Time travel, it's a cornucopia of disturbing concepts." (Not from BTTF.) 7. "Is it written in the stars that we are destined to fraternize? I'd like to think so. Ha, ha ha!" 8. "I fear that we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve." 9. (Aussie accent) "They should all be destroyed!" 10. "Well, ain't this town a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!" 11. "I am Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan!" 12. "Ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck!" That oughta keep you busy...

Yep, I'd read that. It would be a neat thing to tell your grandkids about. Or, failing that, other people's grandkids...

My, if that doesn't sound like an interesting story...

Prisoner of Azkaban was my favorite book in the series, mostly because I like Lupin's character. The movie doesn't do him justice, though. (He's fine, but certainly not what I had visualized.) I'm afraid I don't know Duchess' quote, so nothing to add there.

"You tell those spiders, Ron."
