Raphael Misson Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Which version? Ah, the new one...but I'm afraid it doesn't matter, they're both wrong. (So sorry.) This was a very popular movie - it had also been made twice. Edited July 25, 2009 by Raphael Misson “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Duchess Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 If I were the pouting sort, I do so for being excluded. Instead I'll just go play with my own guns.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn Bob Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 And are they...big guns? If I were the pouting sort, I do so for being excluded. Instead I'll just go play with my own guns.... Damn, thats sharp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Misson Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Duchess has a whole assortment of guns as I understand it. (Including some she made for herself. (Like Tuco in TGtB&tU?)) No takers on the quote? It's based on a book (loosely). The next two lines are: "Shame...we barely got to know each other..." *gun clicks on empty cartridge* "I know where you keep your gun. I 'spose that's something." "True. How did he die?" "Your contact? Not well." Edited July 26, 2009 by Raphael Misson “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Commodore Swab Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I kew it sounded familiar, Casino Royale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Misson Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) The very one. Casino Royale was the first Bond book, written by Ian Fleming and published in 1953. It was subsequently made into a (stiffly filmed and mostly unwatchable IMO) episode of the TV show Climax! in 1954 with Bond portrayed as an American agent(!). Fleming then sold the rights to this novel in 1955 to someone other than Broccoli & Salzman (who would make all the other official Bond films beginning in 1962). CR eventually wound up in the hands of Chester K. Feldman, who made a truly mind-bogglingly bizarre alleged Bond parody in 1967, using only some of the names from the novel. Rather waste two-plus hours watching this confusing and odd mess, I suggest reading the Agony Booth recap of it. The current holders of the Bond movie license, acquired the rights in 1999 and used it to 'reboot' the Bond series in 2006. Quite a twisted tale, isn't it? Personally, I love the main title credits. I can just sit and watch them over and over (and have done so many times.) If you try this, pay attention to the backgrounds. This makes it your turn to post a quote to be guessed.

Commodore Swab Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I personally love it when in the book (yes I read the books) Bond hides the check in the room and nobody can find it no matter how many times they tear aparet the room. If you know where he hid the check you can pick the next movie or you can try your hand at this modern movies quote. . . "His Keys say the Padre drove a Mercedes.

Raphael Misson Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Wow, it's been a decade or more since I read the book. Didn't he hide it by unscrewing the wall socket or the number plate of the door or something like that? My favorite Bond book is Diamonds are Forever. I read it every few years. (All women should be as cool as Tiffany Case - the one in the book, not the annoying one in the movie.) It was a crime that they wrote Ernie Cureo out of the script for that one. Wint and Kidd were far more fun, though. (Although they should have kept the scene with the "eighty percenter." But I guess that would have made them a lot less fun.) "Very...moving...Mr Kidd." "Heartwarming, Mr. Wint." "A glowing tribute, Mr. Kidd." (That's from DAF, I'm not putting a quote up to guess and violating the rules!)

Raphael Misson Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) Yeah, but I didn't know the quote. (I got about halfway through the first story in Sin City and turned it off. Not my cup of tea at all. Kinda' reminded me of Tarantino's movies - which I usually avoid as well.) Don't know Blackbead's quote either. (This whole post is just a waste, isn't it?)

blackjohn Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Was there also a rule about after two days time you have to give a hint if no one has guessed it? My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Misson Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) Actually, I don't believe there was never a rule about giving hints. (This has all been sort of fluid as we made the rules about forfeiting a turn up later in the game because it kept dying off. If a thread like this ain't active, only people with long memories can revive it.) I believe there was a rule that if the quote poster didn't certify that the quote was correct within a day or so, we would assume it was right or verify via Google and move on. (That was another problem we used to have. People would post a quote and never check to see if people had guessed it right.) However, it make make sense to establish some better delineated rules to keep the game going. How about these: 1. As long as the game is active, new quotes can only be posted by the person guessing the previously posted quote correctly. 2. If no one guesses a quote within one week of its posting, the previous quote is forfeited and a new quote can be posted by the first person to notice this. 3. If no one can guess a quote within 48 hours of posting, the quote poster must give a hint or forfeit their turn. 4. If someone guesses a quote, the quote poster must respond within 48 hours of forfeit their turn. 5. No one can exclude Duchess from guessing, not even Mission. I think two days gives people enough time to respond. What does everyone else think? Edited July 30, 2009 by Raphael Misson “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Blackbead Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 The rules sound fine to me. I can't always get back within 48 hours but a week is good. Hints: Africa. Rhino. French, female photographer. If you can't get it from that then you must never have seen the movie. "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."

Raphael Misson Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Those are some hints! They seem so good, that I am going to make a complete guess.

Blackbead Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Even more hints: John Wayne Red Buttons "Yes, Bwana!" A rocket propelled net and a tree full of monkeys. 1962 Got it?

Raphael Misson Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 The only way I could get it would be to look it up, so I'm stumped. I never saw a movie with Wayne and Buttons in it. “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Blackbead Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 The quote was from "Hatari!", a 1962 flick with an international cast. It was about a group of "cowboys in Africa" that rounded up animals for zoos. ANd Wayne and Buttons were also together in "The Longest Day." Okay, let's try this one - "A good body with a dull brain is a cheap as life itself."

I find Wayne is hit and miss for me.) And I believe your current quote is from Spartacus, which I just saw a few months ago. I love that chariot music. “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Blackbead Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I enjoyed "Hatari" but I'm more of a Wayne fan. You should try it once, even if just for the animals and the soundtrack. Henry Mancini did some original music for the movie which is very good - this is where "Baby Elephant Walk" originated. Anyway, you are right on the money with the quote; which means you are up!
