"It's officiable" - Liss... we have a request and it sounds like a great idea. Check the comments, details inside.
Adopted Family shopping's still not totally done but we've managed to scrounge some money up and got to finish some bigger (but not necessary) items on the list.
It's been extremely busy at work but I'm loving every minute of it. It's good to be back and loving what I'm doing again. I really gotta start wearing more sensible shoes. I actually had a colour cancel at 3pm. on saturday so I'll get to go to Darla's wedding... big bonus.
Packing's getting done... or at least starting to resemble an organised pile. Wow, this time next week, I'll be in TN.
Other than that, not much excitement going on. Don't think I'll be getting another post in before I go and I'll do my dangdest to get some in while I'm gone.
'Til next time... :)

Ok, Liss came up with this one and we seem to know our alphabet so it's the same thing but with the movie theme.
And it goes a little something like this...
A = Aladdin
Woo hoo...the movie game!

N = Nin x Nin: Ninja Hattori-kun, the Movie

Actually, I'm going to use horror movies only. Makes it that much harder.
O = One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Trivia? Geez, we can just barely manage the alphabet as you may have noticed!
Sorry to keep ya waitin' Matt..hee hee!
S = The Sixth Sense
I'm assuming we can use "the" at the first since Brian already did..
Hey everyone, I'm back.
T = The Thing.
That's another two pointer keepin in line with my horror movie theme. And yes, you can use a movie with a title 'the' in it, but in my case, it just gives me two points. Yeehaa!!
Bonus for you...lol!!
U = Underworld
Sweet... the letter V.
V = V for Vendetta
Ok, not so much horror... but this guy kills a lot of people. It's pretty close.
Ok everyone, I figured I'd do a quick count here since nobody did yet. Here's the current total after the letter V from lowest to highest.

Frank: Honey, Frank the Tank is not coming back, ok? That part of me is over. Water under the bridge. I promise.
So we're quoting lines or including dialogue from the movies we pick? Cool!
P = Planes, Trains and Automobiles
"Those aren't pillows"
Lines or dialogue sounds good to me..except for this next entry! I can't think of anything that starts with Q!
I'm gonna try this, not sure if its a movie ..I think it is though. I do know it's a book because I've read it!
Q = The Quiet Game
If I'm wrong, I'll lose the points! :)
Points, shmoints. It's all in fun. :)

HAL: Affirmative, Dave, I read you.
Dave: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.
HAL: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave: Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?
HAL: Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
U = Ultraviolet
Haven't seen it, can't quote it.
V = The Village
FATHER: "Ivy.."
IVY: "Yes Father?"
FATHER: "Do your very best not to scream.."
Ummm, not sure if this is one word or two but I'm pretty sure it's one.
W = Waterworld
For what little movies I watch, I'm lucky to name them, let alone quote 'em so the names'll have to do. :D
X = X: The Man With The X-Ray Eyes (1963)
[quote not available :]
This is so cool, I just watched the movie last night for like the 30th time in my life.
Y = Young Guns
"Dear Governor Axtell. I've heard that you will give 200 dollars for my head. Perhaps we should meet and talk. I am at the Juarez village at the border. Send 3 men, and instruct them not to shoot, as I am unarmed. In short, Sir; I surrender. Your obedient servant William H. Bonney.
PS: I changed my mind. Kiss my ass."
Can you believe that I've never seen "Young Guns" or its sequel? Shocking, isn't it?
Z = Zombie Island Massacre
[again, quote not available]
Round #3!
A = A Christmas Story
My all-time favorite Christmas movie!
Ralphie: Oooh fuuudge!
Ralphie as Adult: Only I didn't say "Fudge." I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the "F-dash-dash-dash" word!
Mr. Parker: What did you say?
Ralphie: Uh, um...
Mr. Parker: That's... what I thought you said. Get in the car. Go on!
Ralphie as Adult: It was all over - I was dead. What would it be? The guillotine? Hanging? The chair? The rack? The Chinese water torture? Hmmph. Mere child's play compared to what surely awaited me.
B = Back To The Future
1.21 gigawatts!?
C = Catch Me If You Can
D = Demons
"What the hell happened to Rosemary?"
"Shit, another door!"....hahahhahah
Hah hah...I was hoping we'd get around to the Demons quotes...

"That'll teach you to touch things."
"Dey ain't gonna get me. Dat's fo sho."
"She's right. She put on the mask and scratched herself. Got it? Then she became a demon. An instrument of evil. Like they said in the damn movie, you heard 'em! We gotta stop it! We gotta stop the movie!"
"Gimme a hand to throw her into the stalls."
And the old stand-by...
"It's a buncha shit, baby."
Hee hee

Nooooooooo!
Hee hee! I love the "Dat's fo sho" quote! I've gotta watch that movie again real soon..too funny! :)
F = From Dusk Till Dawn
Carlos: What? Were they psychos, or...?
Seth Gecko: They look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits 'em. I don't give a fuck how crazy they are!
F = Freddy Got Fingered
Ok, I give up... I'll wait 'til you guys go to bed!

Hey Coll, Merry Christmas to you!
J = Jumangi (or however the heck it is you spell that)
K = Kill Bill Volume 1
The Bride: Bitch, you can stop right there. Just because I have no wish to murder you before the eyes of your daughter, does not mean parading her around in front of me is going to inspire sympathy. You and I have unfinished business. And not a goddamn fuckin' thing you've done in the subsequent four years, including getting knocked up, is going to change that.
Whoa. :)
L = Last House On The Left
[no quote, didn't see it...]
M = Mac And Me
N = Napoleon Dynamite
Don: Hey, Napoleon. What did you do last summer again?
Napoleon Dynamite: I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines!
Don: Did you shoot any?
Napoleon Dynamite: Yes, like 50 of 'em! They kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation like that?
Don: What kind of gun did you use?
Napoleon Dynamite: A freakin' 12-gauge, what do you think?
O = O Brother, Where Art Thou?
"Do...not...seek...the treasure"

S = Serendipity
T = Total Recall
(quote not available at this time)
U = Unforgiven
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killin' a man. You take away all he's got...and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well...I guess he had it comin.'
Will Munny: We all have it comin,' kid.
V = Vertical Limit
Again..no quote!
W = Wayne's World
"She will be mine. Oh, yes - she will be mine.?
X = Xmen (doesn't matter which one 'cause none gives extra points)
Y = Young Frankenstein
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?
Igor [imitates Groucho Marx]: Certainly, you take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban.
I saw this with Liss the other day. I'm pretty sure it was called,
Z = Zodiac (The)
"The Movie Game" scores after 3 rounds:
Darcy - 0
Colleen - 1
Brian - 22
Kim - 20
Liss - 30
Matt, king of the 3-pointers - 45
I am hereby imposing a 5-round limit on this game so's it doesn't get all ridiculous.
Clang! Round 4.
A = An American Werewolf In London
"Kill yourself, David. You'll feel better."
A childhood memory...
B = Bad News Bears
A five round limit sounds great to me!
C = Cujo
Vic Trenton: There are no real monsters.
Tad Trenton: Except for the one in my closet.
[Joe Camber has encountered Cujo in the garage. Cujo glares at him menacingly & growls]
Joe Camber: Cujo?
[the dog snarls again, and approaches him menacingly]
Joe Camber: Oh my God... you're rabid!
[Cujo barks savagely and charges at Joe. He puts his arms up to defend himself as Cujo attacks]
Joe Camber: [yelling] NO! NO! CUJO!
[the dog jumps on him & knocks him down]
Oh yeah, I agree on the limit thing. I knew I forgot something.
D = Daddy Daycare
E = Exorcism of Emily Rose, The
Father Moore: Emily, can you hear me?
Emily Rose: [in Latin] I am the one who dwells within.
Father Moore: And I am the one who comes in His name.
Emily Rose: You think you can force me out, priest?
Emily Rose: Try.
Emily Rose: I dare you.
[Emily twitches robotically and falls to the ground]
Hah, I finally get to use my F again. Didn't think I'd get the chance.
F = Freddy Got Fingered
G = Ghoulies...
Sorry, no quote again! :)
The only one I can think of and I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned is...
H = Harry Potter
I = Identity
Ginny: Maybe it's the burial ground.
Ed: What?
Ginny: Read the brochure in there... it's all around us. 100 years ago the government moved these Indians here. They all died because there was no water.
Rhodes: And now they're coming back to life like sea monkeys, huh? Give me a break sweetheart, please.
Heeheehee...
J = Jaws
Ok, since nobody else wants this one, I'll take 'er...
K = Karate Kid
L = Leprechaun
Sorry...no quote for this one! :)
A movie that creeped me out as a kid...
"Mommy Dearest"
No quote but I vividly remember the part about her mother freaking out about the kid looking in the mirror then grabbing the scissors and hacking her hair off.
Sure makes me appreciate my Mommy.
N = National Treasure
I had a hard time to come up with one for letter N...I almost put National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, but thankfully scrolled up first..ha ha! Brian used it a few rounds back!
No quote for this one!
One of my favourites, the first one (never saw original) especially...
O = Ocean's Eleven
I can't believe nobody used this one yet! :)
P = Pulp Fiction
Jules: Wanna know what I'm buyin' Ringo?
Pumpkin: What?
Jules: Your life. I'm givin' you that money so I don't hafta kill your ass. You read the Bible?
Pumpkin: Not regularly.
Jules: There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd.
Q = Quicksand
R = Red Dawn
"Wolverines!!!"
S = Something to Talk About
T = Tommy Boy
Tommy: Did you hear I finally graduated?
Richard Hayden: Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too, all right.
Tommy: You know a lot of people go to college for seven years.
Richard Hayden: I know, they're called doctors
U = Unbreakable
V = Valentine
No quote, never saw it, probably never will! :)
W = Waiting to Exhale
X = XChange...
Had to google this one, I'm running out of movies that start with X...ha ha!
Yup, it might be just about time to lay this one to rest. How's about one more round after we finish this one and we'll call 'er quits?
Y = Yellow Rose of Texas (an old, old, oldie)
Well..that sounds about right! Seeing how Brian imposed a five-round limit after round 3... ha ha!
I'll finish off round 4 then!
Z = Zathura
Heehee, was this where he imposted it? I've read so many friggin' comments in the past month I can't remember where I saw anything anymore. Good, agreed. We'll just let the boys think they have say in this.
Fifth and final round, now underway...
A = An Affair to Remember (another way old one, just watched it the other day, actually)
B = Being John Malkovich
Craig Schwartz: There's a tiny door in that empty office. It's a portal, Maxine. It takes you inside John Malkovich. You see the world through John Malkovich's eyes, then, after about fifteen minutes, you're spit out into a ditch on the side of The New Jersey Turnpike.
Maxine: Sounds delightful. Who the fuck is John Malkovich?
Craig Schwartz: He's an actor. One of the great American actors of the 20th century.
Maxine: What's he been in?
Craig Schwartz: Lots of things. He's very well respected. That jewel thief movie, for example. The point is that this is a very odd thing, supernatural, for lack of a better word. It raises all sorts of philosophical questions about the nature of self, about the existence of the soul. Am I me? Is Malkovich Malkovich? Was the Buddha right, is duality an illusion? Do you see what a can of worms this portal is? I don't think I can go on living my life as I have lived it. There's only one thing to do. Let's get married right away.
C = Caddyshack
D = Dawn of the Dead
Michael: Truck's not gonna make it to Fort Pastor.
Steve: No, forget the truck. That place is fucked, man. Bloodbath city.
Kenneth: How do you know?
Norma: We just came from there.
Kenneth: Is everyone there dead?
Steve: Well, dead-ish.
Kenneth: Is everyone there dead?
Steve: Yeah, in the sense that they all sort of, uh... fell down... and then got up... and started eating each other.
Holy cow that was a scary movies and zombie movies don't usually do it for me. How scary can something possibly be when it can barely walk? In that movie, they're as quick as cats though... brrrrr!
E = Earth Girls Are Easy
F = Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Stacy Hamilton: When a guy has an orgasm, how much comes out?
Linda Barrett: A quart or so.
Ha! Ha! :)
G = Goodfellas
"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster."
Wait, Liss used Goodfellas in round 2! Damn! So instead, another Scorsese flick...
G = Gangs of New York (no quote!)
At least you caught your own mistake! :)
H = Hannibal
Hannibal Lecter: "On a similar note I must confess to you, I'm giving very serious thought... to eating your wife."
I = Innerspace (again, no quote)
J = Journey to the Center of the Earth
No quote for this one either...:)
K = Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Farmer Gene Green: "What in the blue blazes is the circus doing here in these parts?"
L = Leaving Las Vegas
"I don't know if my wife left me because of my drinking or I started drinking 'cause my wife left me."
Ok, M seems to be a recurring theme for me. At least it's not U anymore.
M = Mad Max
O = Orange County
Shaun: What are you doing lying there?
Lance: Oh, my parole officer wants to give me a drug test and I need your urine... can I score some of your piss?
Shaun: Yeah.
Lance: Awesome, man.
All the Stephen King fans, I can't believe we didn't come up with this one sooner...
P = Pet Cemetary
You misspelled "Cemetary." :)
Q = Quick Change (no quote)
I forgot he intentionally screwed up the spelling on that one. Ah well, either way it doesn't give me any extra points anyways.
R = Road House
The only one that actually liked that movie, I think.
Are you kidding? Road House is a classic! Makes a great double feature with that other Swayze masterpiece, "Black Dog."
S = Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971)
No quote, I went for the points. :)
T = Tootsie
..no time for a quote :)
U = U-571 (no quote)
V = Vampire Lovers, The
I hate the letter "V"..ha ha! No quote, because I had to google this! ;)
No worries!
W = When We Were Kings
Muhammad Ali: It is befitting that I leave the game just like I came in, beating a big bad monster who knocks out everybody and no one can whup him. So when little Cassius Clay from Louisville, Kentucky, came up to stop Sonny Liston. The man who annihilated Floyd Patterson twice. HE WAS GONNA KILL ME! But he hit harder than George. His reach is longer than George's. He's a better boxer than George. And I'm better now than I was when you saw that 22-year old undeveloped kid running from Sonny Liston. I'm experienced now, professional. Jaws been broke, been knocked down a couple of times, I'm bad! Been chopping trees. I done something new for this fight. I done wrestled with an alligator. That's right. I have wrestled with an alligator. I done tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail. That's bad! Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick! I'm so mean I make medicine sick!
Don King: Bad dude!
Ali: Bad, fast! Fast! Fast! Last night I cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch and was in the bed before the room was dark.
Whoa! I guess not! :)
X = The X-Files
"The truth is out there"..
That was a movie right? Hope so!
Yep, there was an X-Files movie in '98.
Y = You Only Live Twice (1967)
(I'm quoteless...)
Z = Zolton..Hound of Dracula
I dunno..sounds lame to me! I had to google again, running out of ideas for "z" too...lol! :)
Lotsa googlin' goin' on, time for last round, me thinks. Good job Liss. What round is it... five?
A = Amityville Horror (The)
Actually, it was the end of round five with Melissa's last entry (and the end of the game). Sorry Kim, you rang in after the buzzer sounded. :)
"The Movie Game" final score -
Kim - 46
Matt - 45
Brian - 38
Coll - 1
Darcy - 0
And the winner is...
Melissa - 56
Congratulations, Liss! Tell her what she's won, Bob!
Yay! :)
You are such a hoot!
BTW..thanks for tallying up the scores! :)
Not a problem!
Bah, games are ending that I'm not even having time to play... that bites. Ah well, off to have a shower to go to work.
