Misson Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 No one? It's a movie from the 80s. "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
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Yep Jill. Daryl Van Horne is in the church. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Misson Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Nicholson can get away with murder, can't he just? Here's the whole thing (you'll either find it incredibly funny or incredibly offensive ): Jack Raving About Women "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
Black Anne Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 How about "we worship a dancing peanut, for corn's sake!" Black Anne Roberts From the great white north..looking for warmer climes
Red-Handed Jill Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Okay - here's one: "l like to play with things ... before annihilation." Black Anne - whoever correctly guesses the quote comes up with the next one.
Black Anne Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Okay - here's one:"l like to play with things ... before annihilation." Black Anne - whoever correctly guesses the quote comes up with the next one. *blushes* Ooops, ok! Thanks Jill! Black Anne Roberts From the great white north..looking for warmer climes
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 I'd say Jill's quote is from Flash Gordon. Next quote - Person 1 - ..don't know anything about the sea, except that it is romantic. Person 2 (response) - That's what all landsmen think. Seamen know better. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Misson Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Cabin Boy? ( I have no idea. And I've never actually seen Cabin Boy on basic principles. The same ones that forbid me from seeing Adam Sandler or Rob Schneider "comedies.") That's the second time Jill's gotten me on Flash Gordon. I should really see that one... "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
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 It is a good movie Mission...I'd describe Flash as zany, campy and inventive. As for the current quote...the movie's a bit more serious than Cabin Boy. I've seen it twice (the quoted movie), and am considering getting it on dvd. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Hmm...I didn't anticipate this one not getting found out. Another quote from the movie then: And what a hideous painting! The movie was a black and white...I hope that narrows it down. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Red-Handed Jill Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Damn... I know I've seen that movie. I've got to ponder it a bit. And Misson - you have to see Flash Gordon. It's wonderfully absurd.
Misson Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I have no clue on the current quote. I do tend to enjoy wonderfully absurd movies. though. (For example, I like all the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker movies.) Oddly, I like the stupid humor in those, but usually don't like the SNL-style stupid humor in movies. (Animal House and Austin Powers excepted.) I wonder what the difference is? Oh, and to anyone who likes rather weird romantic comedies, I suggest Cashback. This film is an odd mixture of ideas - romantic comedy, introspective teen "indie film" journey, a dash of coming of age, time travel (sort of) and soft core porn. You wouldn't think all those things would mesh, but here, they seem to. It's worth seeing for the fascinating choreography of bizarre, disparate elements, the intelligent script and the winning ending. (Am I OT? Sorry. ) "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
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Well, I fold on my first set of quotes. They're from "The Ghost and Mrs Muir". I'll toss out a new quote here, and hope it strikes a chord with someone: Person 1: How much for the little girl? How much for the women? Person 2: What? Person 1: Your women. I want to buy your women. The little girl, your daughters..sell them to me. Sell me your children. Mission - Your thought on this might be different, but with absurd comedies I enjoy the movie alot more if the actors don't seem as if they're trying too hard. If their actions are beyond absurd (for me, Will Farrell is a good example), I just can't watch. If they characters seem campy (i.e. Waynes World), or are just funny because they're supposed to be off-the-wall, then I'll watch. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Misson Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 The new quote is too easy for me. Yes, Will Farrell is another one whose films I don't much usually care for. Although I really enjoyed him in Stranger Than Fiction - of course he played against type there. I would guess it's because I don't generally like pain-and-suffering or extremely base jokes (like scatological humor...is that the best you can come up with?)...except those things are in the ZAZ films and I don't mind them there much. Maybe it's because the ZAZ films just thrown them (and everything else) in and don't dwell on them like they're some brand of premium humor device that needs to be explored in deep fullness. Of course, then there's Austin Powers...but some of those jokes really are too much. If he hadn't gotten such a funny take on some of the Bond silliness, I may not like them as much. (Someone needs to parody the Roger Moore Bonds...if it's possible to parody a parody. ) "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
Duchess Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Blues Brothers. "We're on a mission from God." Hmm let me think of a new quote for a bit.
Duchess Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 You come all this way out saying squat and now your trying to tell me that a '56 Chevy could beat a '48 Buick in a dead quarter mile? I liked you better when you weren't saying squat kid...
Misson Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Damn... I know I've seen that movie. I've got to ponder it a bit.And Misson - you have to see Flash Gordon. It's wonderfully absurd. Uh huh. They sure chose the right group to do the soundtrack. I kept getting this feeling of deja vu watching this when it occurred to me - it was a lot like Barbarella - all the way down to those cheesy-looking flying angel people. (Lots of cheese in this movie...) I looked it up and, sure enough, it was the same producer. The style also kinda' reminded me in a way of Fellini movies. (Alas, I don't really get Fellinin movies - I wrote a rather scathing review of 8 1/2 on Netflix which is roundly hated by the other NF denizens who read reviews of 8 1/2. Ah, well. Fortunately, this film doesn't have the same lack of comprehensible plot or narrative that that film did.) The "golly gee wiz" main characters were....something. I guess they were channeling the original 30s serial material. I liked the skull masks the red guys wore. Plus it's always nice to see Timothy Dalton and Topol in meaty roles. And I also liked that everyone played this pretty straight, despite all the surrounding goofiness. I don't know the current quote. "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
Capt. Sterling Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 You come all this way out saying squat and now your trying to tell me that a '56 Chevy could beat a '48 Buick in a dead quarter mile? I liked you better when you weren't saying squat kid... Six String Samurai? "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Duchess Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Oh yeah. I do love that movie. Take it away Captain.
Christine Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Well, I fold on my first set of quotes. They're from "The Ghost and Mrs Muir". How funny, I'm actually watching "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" right now. I haven't seen it awhile and I'm preparing myself for a good cry, lol!
BriarRose Kildare Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 BriarRose hands Christine a box of Kleenex.....and then asks, "So what be the next movie quote?" Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. The Dimension of Time is only a doorway to open. A Time Traveler I am and a Lover of Delights whatever they may be. There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
Christine Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 BriarRose hands Christine a box of Kleenex.....and then asks,"So what be the next movie quote?" Thanks! *wipes eyes and then responds* Not sure, who guessed the last quote? What even was the last quote?
Misson Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 In an unusual turn of events, there is no quote, but lots of people interested in guessing one (usually it's the other way around.) The last quote was one from Six String Samuri (which I have yet to see) and was guessed by Captain Sterling. "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
Misson Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Ok, I'm invoking the "too long to post a quote" rule we made up a few months ago and posting a quote so the topic doesn't die. "The likelihood of one individual being right increases in direct proportion to the intensity with which others are trying to prove him wrong." "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
