Graydog Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Since we are doing long quotes: You can kill us. All of us, or part of us. But if you think that's going to put the fear of god into the United States of America, and stop them from sending other flyers to bomb you, you're wrong. Dead wrong. They'll come by night, they'll come by day. Thousands of them. They'll blacken your skies and burn your cities to the ground and make you get down on your knees and beg for mercy. This is your war. You wanted it. You asked for it. You started it. And now you're going to get it. And it won't be finished until your dirty little empire is wiped off the face of the earth. Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!
Graydog Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 It's a movie set in WWII and was released in 1944 Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!
Blackbead Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 I thought I knew what it was but that film wasn't released in '44. Is it about the Doolittle raid? "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."
Graydog Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Yes, the movie is about the Doolittle Raid. It is a 20th Century Fox release. Trivia point is that it is directed by the same director that directed "All Quiet on the Western Front". Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!
Graydog Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 In the interest of keeping this thread alive. the answer was - Purple Heart starring Dana Andrews. The movie was a fictionalized account about the Doolittle Raid Crew that was captured by the Japanese. In the case of the real crew part of the crew was executed by the Japanese for "war crimes", 24 hours after the conclusion of their one day "trial" that was little more than a public berating them for bombing Japan. Back to the movie- The movie is a good example of a World War II propaganda movie churned out by the studios over the war years. Since, tomorrow is Pearl Harbor Day, it seemed a somewhat relevant movie for a quote. Well, nobody got it, please anybody go ahead and list a new quote, goodluck! Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!
Misson Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 "Allowing for delays, set the bomb to detonate at three forty five. We must leave the base by three fifteen. l take it none of you...will be late." "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -Oscar Wilde "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted is really true, there would be little hope of advance." -Orville Wright
Blackbead Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 I'd love to see that one sometime, Graydog. I agree; that film is definitely appropriate for today's date. If I get the chance, I intend on watching "Tora, Tora, Tora" followed by "Midway" before the weekend is over. My next door neighbor, when I was growing up, was a gentleman who was interviewed by the local TV station every year on this date. He was a Marine stationed at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. He continued his service to fight on Guadalcanal, where he was wounded. He spent a goodly portion of the next year in a rehab hospital and then spent the rest of the war training Marines. Regarding the latest quote, I believe that is from "Octopussy." Am I right? 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."
Misson Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 It is indeed. I love the way Jordan annunciates. He's not the greatest Bond villain ever, but his patter is entertaining. "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -Oscar Wilde "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted is really true, there would be little hope of advance." -Orville Wright
Blackbead Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 I agree . . . and he's incredibly sinister in places as well. Hard to imagine this is the same guy that was in "Gigi." Okay, here we go, this one's easy but timely: "What a way to fly into a war... unarmed and outta gas." Lest we forget . . . "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 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Here's a hint - the film revolves around an event that took place on a recent date. The aircraft type involved is known as the "Flying Fortress." Any guesses? "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."
Misson Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 "Oboe leader to oboe flight... we've flown smack into the middle of a war!" Tora! Tora! Tora! They were flying into Pearl Harbor to refuel and the Japanese attack started right before they got there. "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." Best line in the movie. "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -Oscar Wilde "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted is really true, there would be little hope of advance." -Orville Wright
Blackbead Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 And talk about an interesting character! Isoroku Yamamoto was an incredibly brilliant and farsighted naval commander. He spoke fluent English having spent two years studying at Harvard and a number of years as a naval attache at the Japanese embassy in Washington DC and was so taken with the American life-style that he opposed the very war that he planned so well. In addition, he was a wounded veteran of cruiser duty during the Russo-Japanese War and a successful diplomat between the wars in the international naval community. He loved to play poker and drink whiskey but was the son of a samurai. He was sort of the American version of the British feeling toward Rommel. He was so respected by the Americans that they planned an elaborate ambush of his aircraft. Anway, you got it right, Mission, so you're up! And speaking of "AQOTWF," has anyone ever read Remarque's other famous work, "A Time to Live and A Time to Die"? "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."
Misson Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Hum...I was going to do a hard one, but...no. Easy. "Please, sit down before you fall down." "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -Oscar Wilde "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted is really true, there would be little hope of advance." -Orville Wright
Blackbead Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I believe that was Belloch in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." So, let's try this one - "Piece of pie" "Cake" "What?" "It's piece of cake." 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 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Hmmm, either we've decided to let this thread go unraveled again or this quote is too hard. Here's a couple of hints: 1. This exchange is between an American and a Russian and the Russian has mangled the expression "piece of cake." 2. At another point in the movie, the same Russian uses the expression "easy as cake." 3. The film takes place in space. "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 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I'm not 100% sure on this, but is it from either of the 2001: A Space Odyssey or its sequel, 2010 (Odyssey Two)? Oddly enough...I was thinking it could've been a Star Trek film, but I don't remember an idiom like that ever being said. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Graydog Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 "Armageddon" be me guess Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 I bet you that's it Graydog (only because I haven't seen it). :angry: Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Blackbead Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 You got it, Captain Sophia! It were in "2010 - The Year We Make Contact." I believe that brings the cannon to bear on you . . . "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 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Thanks Blackbead! Next quote: Who in the world possibly cares how much tuna I eat? Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Blackbead Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 It's a crime movie . . . I know that. And it's definitely a woman saying it. Let me think . . . "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."
blackjohn Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 (Picking up dead thread) New quote. An easy one. "What we got here is... failure to communicate." My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Blackbead Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Black John, That truly be an easy one - "Cool Hand Luke." So, to get the party started again for the umpteenth time: "What are those assholes doing on the porch?" "Those aren't assholes; it's pronounced 'azaleas'." "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."
Misson Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Here, try this one: Mistakes "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -Oscar Wilde "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted is really true, there would be little hope of advance." -Orville Wright
Arthur Richards from Kent Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 "Earth Girls are Easy" oh wait no that's not it I think it was "attack of the killer tomatoes" Touch somebody you don't know today with a smile.
