Movie quote meme

[deelaundry]

Movie quotes. Because bironic made it look fun. Hint: I tended toward comedies, and guilty pleasure flicks.

hi_falootin had better play, because nobody else will know a particular one of these... - Wow! More people knew the film than I thought.



1. I'm a short... fat... slut. [Hint - Second quote from same movie: "You said moms don't leave!"]

Oh man, some of those sound familiar, but I fail at quotes! The only one I'm sure of is #10. The Simpson's movie. :D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Yep! I have to say, I didn't find that part funny at first (there'd been so much hype about it), but it grew on me. XD

[spoopy.livejournal.com]

#2: Galaxy Quest

#4: Threesome

#7: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

[bironic.livejournal.com]

#2: Galaxy Quest

*high-fives you both for that movie's immeasurable awesomeness*

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

"This episode was badly written!"

"Maybe you're the plucky comic relief - ever think of that?"

LOLOL - I adore that movie. It is a thing of such shiny self-contained beauty.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oooh! I love Galaxy quest! I'm ripped I didn't get that quote! If you had said the plucky comic relief, I totally would have gotten it!

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

I adore that film, and I still wouldn't have got it with 'plucky comic relief'... *facepalm*

[bironic.livejournal.com]

"Minors, not miners!"

"Is there AIR? You don't know!"

*hugs movie*

[spoopy.livejournal.com]

Galaxy Quest is so awesome. I worked in a cinema in London when that movie came out, so I sat in it all the time for free, just to watch it over and over, LOL.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Have you seen the DVD? One of the languages you can dub into the movie is Thermian.

I love imagining a couple of young interns on the movie production getting totally hammered and recording that track. (Don't know if that's true but it's funny to imagine it might be.)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Have you seen this?
http://pics.livejournal.com/tripperfunster/pic/0005wz8y/

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Awesome! You're of course correct on all three.

Can't believe you've seen Threesome; I thought nobody had. Have you read hi_falootin's fanfic for it? She nails Eddie. I mean, his character. LOLOL

[spoopy.livejournal.com]

While it's been a long time since I've seen it, I love that movie.

She nails Eddie. I mean, his character.

LOL. XD I'll have to give that fic a look-see.

And #6 is Parenthood, I just realised (another one of my favourite movies of all time), but I see that one's been guessed already.

[theninth.livejournal.com]

4. Threesome

6. Parenthood.

7. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

10. The Simpsons Movie

I KNOW #9! I can hear it! But I can't place it.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo, another person who knows Threesome! hi_falootin's fanfic for it is incredible...

#6 and #7 - I don't like Keanu Reeves, but I quoted him twice in a row. Heh.

Love, love, love the timing on #9. I quote that to myself all the time and always crack up. Do you want a hint? If so, see bironic's comment right below.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

9 is that movie with that kid. LOL. The one I always confuse with Election. Gah, what was it called.

10 sounds like it should be Charlotte's Web or Babe or something, but ... possibly not. ETA: Yep, never mind on that one. :D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

#9 is indeed the movie with that kid that can be confused with Election (even though I don't think they have any directors, writers, or actors in common - tone, maybe?).

[bironic.livejournal.com]

I think it's because my sister and I watched them on the same night. Grr, I can picture the boy and the scene and even another movie he was in where he was a photographer, but I can't remember his name or the title.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Keep thinking; there's no hurry.

The two movies totally match; it's the tone. Pessimistic, depressed even, with small moments of levity that break through.

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

7. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

8. Dogma

10. The Simpsons Movie

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Yes to all! There are so many good quotes from Dogma, I had a hard time settling on one.

[xaipw.livejournal.com]

9. RUSHMORE!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THAT LINE!

I must suck at watching comedy, though, because I can't identify anything else.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

That line cracks me up every time I think of it. Just the timing, and the lameness of the joke, and the earnestness with which he says it... Perfection.

By the way, HI!

[xaipw.livejournal.com]

[bironic.livejournal.com]

9. RUSHMORE!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, THANK YOU, YES.

[fry-addict.livejournal.com]

I'd say #2 could be from "Tango & Cash" (Teri's in it, and it would've been a nice side blow on Sylvester Stallone)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

YES! She's supposed to be doing a strip act, and it's just absolutely horrid. Sylvester Stallone himself says the quote I gave. *rolls eyes*

I suppose I should be embarrased to even have seen that movie, much less -- ehem -- own it, but the prison scenes are so hilariously camp and slashy. Like every lesbian prison film ever made, but with men in it instead.

[fry-addict.livejournal.com]

No need for embarrassment - I've seen it, too (years ago, but still). Although owning it, hmm... well, you called the most excellent reason: lesbian prison with men in it - godsend for every slasher's heart :D

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

I don't have a DUH icon so I shall use Foreman instead - he's rolling his eyes at me, because I have seen some of those films (and I only saw The Simpsons Movie at Christmas) and I still don't recognise any of those quotes XD

Even #10, which should be completely obvious, isn't...

Never ask me to join a movie trivia quiz unless it's on the other team :D

P.S. I absolutely adore Galaxy Quest

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I had a very hard time coming up with quotes. Maybe half were ones I knew, the others I looked up on good old IMDB. And I've been terrible at everybody else's memes. : )

[tasha-elizabeth.livejournal.com]

Would 5 be Demolition Man?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

You got it! It's very trashy, but I love it. Actually, I was surprised to have two Sylvester Stallone movies on my list, because I hate him. But he's funny in Demolition Man and appropriately brooding in Tango & Cash, so... oh well. XD

[poeia.livejournal.com]

Two Stallone movies AND two Kurt Russell movies. That's a little scary.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

And two Keanu Reeves movies! Yipes!

[poeia.livejournal.com]

#1 is Overboard with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Hooray! I didn't think that would take so long to get. Guess it was an in-joke with my college friends. : )

[poeia.livejournal.com]

The in-joke part being that you and your college friends liked really crappy movies? (To see it once, I understand. To own a copy...)

So you have your generic Goldie Hawn movie -- shallow, spoiled woman finally grows up (Pvt Benjamin, Overboard, Protocol, etc.) but where is your generic male version of that -- a Tom Cruise film?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Tom Cruise, pah.

I love Overboard; it's my favorite guilty-pleasure movie. Don't like any other Goldie Hawn movies at all -- this one just happens to push all the right buttons for me. It's like cotton candy: very sweet, light, fluffy, no nutritional value but very cheering.

There's something tender to it, too, underneath the yuk-yuks. When the kid runs after the limo yelling, "You said moms don't leave!" I sniffle every single time.

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

Too late! But I don't think I would have gotten any except the Spider-Pig one. Who are all these people with their encyclopedic memories for quotes? :)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I don't know! I haven't been play other people's much, because man, I'm terrible at it.

How are you? Having fun, I hope.

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

I hab a colb. I'm glad K-Rudd finally apologised on behalf of Australia. And I need to watch more Life On Mars when I have time. I hope you are similarly gainfully occupied? :)
