Caraccioli Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Ah, a movie I've never seen. Good hint. I feel obnoxious today, so I will give you all a very difficult quote to play with. "This song of the man and his wife is of no place and everywhere; you might hear it anywhere, at any time..." (I'll give you a hint. It was on cable TV recently.) "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Caraccioli Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Nobody, huh? Second hint - it's a black and white film. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Duchess Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 My, you really are feeling obnoxious. Too bad for you I'm feeling obnoxious too. I googled it. A silent movie entitled Sunrise.
Caraccioli Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Cheat! It was an interesting movie, but nothing like movies today. It just sort of wandered around for awhile with various things happening, some of them a bit fantastic and others quite mundane. I must admit, I watched all two hours of it because I actually wanted to know what was going to happen though. So it succeeded on that level. (Turner Network Classics is showing Oscar and Oscar-nominated films all month.) I should have quoted another sign in the movie, but I couldn't remember it word for word. It was something like, "Weeks passed, but the woman from the city continued to stay. No one could understand why." Just that, nothing else other than the silent images. (Of course, had I used that, no one could have Googled it because I couldn't find it. That would have been nefariously obnoxious. At least you're honest about it. 8^) ) Your turn! "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Duchess Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 You might as well go again. I haven't the time to find a quote today.
Caraccioli Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 "This class will be a waste of your - and what is infinitely worse - my time." "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Duchess Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Ooo. I know that one. It's me. It's what I say to my students! Followed shortly on by "If you can't do this math you shouldn't be allowed out of college. In fact, you shouldn't have been allowed into college." Actually all that reminds me of a quote!
blackjohn Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 "This class will be a waste of your - and what is infinitely worse - my time." Sounds like something Groucho would say. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Caraccioli Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 It do, don't it? It's not. The movie was made within the last five years and has already been used once in this thread. (I didn't like the quote used, though. I am redeeming the movie. ) "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
blackjohn Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 I'll take a wild guess and say A Beautiful Mind...??? My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Caraccioli Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Yes, that's it. Now you think of a quote. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
blackjohn Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Huh! Ok... hold on... right! We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.

blackjohn Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 BING! We have a winner! Good job Duchess! My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Duchess Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 BING! We have a winner! Good job Duchess! I really like that movie. Character 1: Where'd you come from? You look pregnant. Character 2: I am pregnant. I'm not even going to ask what you men are doing out here in your matching pajamas, by the way.
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 LOL...that has to be The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. If I am right...here's the next quote: Person 1: The leg is good, It'll bleed plenty and we avoid any necessary organs. Person 2: I was thinking more of a graze... Person 1: Well, you don't want it to look like you just gave up. Person 2: No, I get that... Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Duchess Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Oh yeah. I know it, but I'll let someone else get it.

blackjohn Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 BING! We have a winner! Good job Duchess! I really like that movie. After, what, almost a year of playing this game, I guess it shouldn't surprise me that you and I have similar tastes in movies.

Caraccioli Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Yeah, that's Serenity. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
blackjohn Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Oh goody! In that case... What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music? I betcha Duchess gets this one too. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.

I just read the book, and that is probably the most identical book-movie pair I've ever encountered.
Caraccioli Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Doesn't that make one or the other superfluous? (In today's culture, probably the book.) I think we are all miserable listening to pop music. (Say, cut it out you two. My Netflix list is filling up.) "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
