Caraccioli Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 No, but that's a pretty good guess. Here's a whopping big hint (that you could probably figure out on your own): the writing team includes a well-known Brit. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Blackbead Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Whew . . . that's a toughie but one that's sticking in my brain . . . could it be "A Fish Called Wanda"?? "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 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Yep. Your turn. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Blackbead Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Woo-hoo! Okay, we're going to go back a ways here, but your "Brit" quote made me think of another one: "As far as I can see, American men have been totally emasculated- they're like slaves! They die like flies from coronary thrombosis while their women sit under hairdryers eating chocolates & arranging for every 2nd Tuesday to be some sort of Mother's Day! And this infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all my time in this Godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all this this prepostrous preoccupation with bosoms. Don't you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I'll wager you anything you like that if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight." Classic! BB "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 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Speaking of which (somehow these two movies are linked in my mind...): "And now my friend, the firsta rule of Italian driving. [Rips rear-view mirror out and throws it out the window.] What'sa behind me is not important." "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Blackbead Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 That one's going to require some thought . . . I haven't given up, I'm just thinking . . . "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."
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 "Fifty five is fast enough to kill you...but slow enough to make you think you're safe." Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Caraccioli Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 I believe I actually posted this one before and no one could get it. Since you're cross quoting me, Sophia, I'd say you're up. It's from The Gumball Rally, step-child of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and parent of all those Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run movies. That quote is from Raul Julia's character. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 I remember Julia as well, though a little more fondly in The Addams Family than Gumball Rally. Anywho... Quote: "-----, your car is in a tree around the corner." Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Caraccioli Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Jurassic Park Ok, I know that's not right... For Your Eyes Only No, it's not that one either... "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Red Jayme Flint Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 that be from Twister. good movie indeed. k now my turn! "You shake and shake the ketchup bottle, none will come, and then a lot'll." 'ave fun mates!
Blackbead Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 If I'm not mistaken, my dear, that quote comes from the film, "Kate and Leopold." I may, however, be mistaken but that is my answer to your query. Confirmation? And, as far as Raul Julia is concerned, I suggest "Havana" and "Moon Over Parador." "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."
Blackbead Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 We search for gold, we sail the blue, If I be right, here's a quote for you: "You've had your whole life to prepare for this moment. Why aren't you ready?" "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."
Diego Santana de la Vega Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 You know that is a right nice and tidy thought there BB! I don't know where it came from but it is one of those that will transcend time! I never saw meet the faulkers, is that it? I should liken to remember it fully anyways! Well writen and spoken for humanity is richer on it's merit it stands alone! Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.
Blackbead Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Diego, me mate, that there quote be from the Val Kilmer movie "Spartan" which, if ye have not seen it, be a film rich in similar thoughts and speeches. Fer instance, one soldier speaking to another: "Ain't nobody here but two people in green." "It goes beyond that." "Nothing goes beyond that." A leader talking to a subordinate: "In the city there is always a refelection, in the woods always a sound." "What about the desert?" "You don't wanna go to the desert." And one-liners like these: "You need to set your motherfucker to 'receive'". And exchanges like these: "What they gotcha teachin' here, young sergeant?" "Edged weapons, sir. Knife fighting." "Don't you teach 'em knife fighting. Teach 'em to kill. That way, they meet some sonofabitch who studied knife fighting, they send his soul to hell." "You wanted to go through the looking glass. How was it? Was it more fun than miniature golf?" "I think you broke my arm!" [slams his arm against the side of a dumpster] "Now it's broken." "Honey, you got all the slack in the world until I leave this room. Then I'm gonna zero you out." "My name's Curtis." "Do I need to know that? If I want camaraderie, I'll join the Masons." It's a tight, taut, film about being a soldier in a world where the values that a soldier lives by have been rejected by the world and the people who use soldiers to do their dirty deeds. I HIGHLY recommend it. Blackbead "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."
Blackbead Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 And, since I ruint that last un', here be another quote fer all to chew on: "How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life, wouldn't you say?" Blackbead "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."
Diego Santana de la Vega Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 I'll have to check into this Spartan movie I never heard a blip abnout it before! Grammercy oh! this new quote is it from Tombstone? Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.
Blackbead Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 No . . . shall I give ye a hint? "I have been, and always shall be, your friend." Blackbead "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."
Red-Handed Jill Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 That be an easy one for an old Trekker like meself... Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan Here's one: "All that matters is that after all these years, we've found a loophole. He can't keep us out anymore. And once we're back in, I'm sure he'll just forgive and forget."
Red Jayme Flint Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 haha that be from Dogma is it not?. i jsut watched that movie.
Red Jayme Flint Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 here be one... "Wait. Could you clarify? Is 10 the highest? 10 being perfectly happy and 1 being totally miserable or... "
Blackbead Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 It's funny, but I just realized that there are some serious similarities between "Dogma" and "Constantine". Am I sick or what?!?!? Blackbead "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."
Red Jayme Flint Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 care to elaborate Blackbead? im curious now.
Red-Handed Jill Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Makes sense - both are about the miasma of rules that govern the Catholic faith. Dogma just points out in a humorous way how ridiculous they are.
Red Jayme Flint Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 good point. i didnt see all of constantine tho. maybe i should go back and watch it. i dunno tho there is something about keanu and bugs me lol.
