Take 'Er Away Matt...

I told Matt he could have the honours of starting this one since I cut him off in the comments and he's (as well as the rest) been chomping at the bit for something a little more challenging. I'm not much of a movie buff as I rarely watch them but I'll try. If nothing else, I'm sure it'll be highly entertaining, as usual.

We'll do the movie one this go round. This one has endless possibilities so I'd say there's no need to do round limits. As for the rules, we figured it out in the last comments. Let's go with quotes for this one and we can mix it up for future ones. If you guys do have other game ideas, feel free to post them in the last post so that way I can keep track of them.

Have fun, 'til next time...

Yup Liss, Mort was Depp's character in the movie and Todd Downey was in the book and the movie, he was the character in the short story that he and Shooter were battling over. Well, technically fighting over it with himself, I guess.

As for Matt's movie, it looks familiar but I'm not sure...

Liss said...

It is OK Matt..except I think I need another hint for your quote. It does sound familiar though..

Madpajamma said...

Ok, just so this doesn't hold anyone up... it's a movie about a young shepherd boy from the Urals named Vasilli Zeitsev who arrived in Stalingrad during the war againsts Germany and become one of the most well know Russian snipers in history.

My Dyslexic Friends said...

Ok, apparently it doesn't sound familiar. I really wish I paid more attention to history...

Liss said...

Is it "Enemy at the Gates"??

My Dyslexic Friends said...

Just in case Matt doesn't get a chance to get back in here today Liss, I googled it and you're right.

You are go...

Liss said...

Thanks Kim!

Movin' right along,

"Martin Riggs: Hey, look friend, let's just cut the shit. Now we both know why I was transferred. Everybody thinks I'm suicidal, in which case, I'm fucked and nobody wants to work with me; or they think I'm faking to draw a psycho pension, in which case, I'm fucked and nobody wants to work with me. Basically, I'm fucked. "

Ah, those were the days when Mel Gibson wasn't such a prejudiced pig and were favourite movies of mine. I believe that's the original, "Lethal Weapon."

Speaking of favourite movies...

"These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized."

Madpajamma said...

Oh yeah, The Shawshank Redemption... TBS's all time most played movie EVER!!! Sorry for not getting back on the last one, but as you already know it was 'Enemy At the Gates', which is yet another one of my fav's. I have a lot of fav's including this one.


If you hold back anything, I'll kill ya. If you bend the truth or I think your bending the truth, I'll kill ya. If you forget anything I'll kill ya. In fact, you're gonna have to work very hard to stay alive, Nick. Now do you understand everything I've said? Because if you don't, I'll kill ya.

Liss said...

hint please? :)

Madpajamma said...

Ok, it's written and directed by Guy Ritchie.

Plot Outline: Four London working class stiffs pool their money to put one in a high stakes card game, but things go wrong and they end up owing half a million pounds and having one week to come up with the cash.

Liss said...

Don't think I've seen it! Sorry, again! :) Somebody else should get it though..

My Dyslexic Friends said...

Hmmm, it sounds like a movie I'd heard was really good but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me. It's been out a few years, eh?

My Dyslexic Friends said...

Matt, don't leave us now, we need a hint dude!

Madpajamma said...

Another hint, after all that? Ok, here's a little wheel of furtune for you.

L**K, S***K and T** S**k**g B**r**s

Actually, this idea could be another game all together!!! God I love me.

Brian said...

Yeah, but you don't like "Hard Core Logo," so you're no longer cool in my book. :) Kidding!

"Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"

Next!

"Why, Johnny Ringo...you like someone just walked over your grave."

...?

Liss said...

I'm thinking "Tombstone", but it's been years since I've seen that movie. I'll wait..

My Dyslexic Friends said...

I was thinking something along those lines as well Matt. Like taking movies and making acronyms of the title.

Like, "T.F.T.F"
=Too Fast, Too Furious

...or something like that. Still working it out.

As for the movie... I have no clue! :D

Madpajamma said...

Liss was right, so it's her turn. Waiting....

My Dyslexic Friends said...

Ok, I think this is a first? Matt waiting for someone else on this game, haha! :D

Liss said...

first lines

Helinger: "Mathematicians won the war. Mathematicians broke the Japanese codes... and built the A-bomb. Mathematicians... like you. The stated goal of the Soviets is global Communism. In medicine or economics, in technology or space, battle lines are being drawn. To triumph, we need results. Publishable, applicable results. Now who among you will be the next Morse? The next Einstein? Who among you will be the vanguard of democracy, freedom, and discovery? Today, we bequeath America's future into your able hands. Welcome to Princeton, gentlemen."

My Dyslexic Friends said...

Oooh, that sounds like another movie that I loved and forgot all about existing. The one with Russell Crowe in it. Did he ever do a wicked job. Dang, I can't remember the name of it, something with, "Mind." It's actually based on a true story too. Frig, he had schizophrenia and was put through shock treatments but won a nobel prize through it all. Now that was a twisted ending.

It'll come to me. I might even have it somewhere...

Brian said...

Wait, I know what it is! It's "A Lovely Mind." No, wait. That wasn't it. "A Gorgeous Mind"! Wait...dang! That's not it either. "A Pretty Mind"? Oh man, this is tough! I hate when this happens...um... "A Breathtaking Mind." Fuck! Ah, this is too hard, I quit.

:)

Liss said...

Hee hee! Why don't you just say it so we can move this along? :)

My Dyslexic Friends said...

It finally came to me when I least expected it, "A Beautiful Mind." It's a need to see it again. Ok, off to find a quote...

"Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat. Now, that's a fact. I'll fuckin' kill you."

Brian said...

A guess -- "You, Me and Dupree"?

Liss said...

No idea!

Madpajamma said...

It's Good Will Hunting, which is a great movie. Been a long time since I've seen that one. Try this one on for size....


First of all, I'd like to thank whichever one of you donut-munching, barrel-assed, pud-pulling sissies leaked this to the press. That's all we need now: some sensational story in the papers making these guys out to be superheroes, triumphing over evil. Let me squash the rumors right now: These two are not heroes. They're just two ordinary men who were put in an extraordinary situation and just happened to come out on top. Yes, nothing from our far-reaching computer system has turned up diddly on these two. All we know is what we found out from the neighbors, and the general consensus is, they're angels. But angels don't kill. And we have two bodies in the morgue that look like they've been "serial-crushed by some huge friggin' guy".

Liss said...

No clue!

My Dyslexic Friends said...

Nope, that one doesn't sound familiar to me either but look to see this game relocated as I have a gripe to vent and it'll be re-located to the top.

It's getting too far to scroll...

Brian said...

Kim, you are aware that you can just grab the little rectangle in the scrollbar on the right and drag it all the way to the bottom, right? :)

I'm pretty sure Matt's last one is from "Boondock Saints."
I'll wait for confirmation...

Liss said...

Heh heh! You guys are just too much! :) It's like a constant conversation..

I think moving the game up is a good plan, especially since this post will be heading to the archives real soon. Is that what you're worried about Kim?

And as for "Boondock Saints"..Brian is right, I googled to be sure. I know Matt's gonna be real busy partyin' all weekend, so he probably won't be checkin' in for quite some time! Since the game will probably be on "break" till Monday, guess it doesn't matter much anyways! :) Just figured I'd throw in my 2 cents worth. You are go Brian!

My Dyslexic Friends said...

Yes I know how to drag the scrolly thingy Brian, sheesh! :D

Yup, this one's about to drop off in to never never land and scrolling through all those posts (even with dragging) is too much work already, let alone when one has to start digging through the archives. And this one's still active enough to keep alive.

Now, Matt will be noticeable absent this weekend but Brian likely will be too so we might have to carry on ourselves Liss. If that's the case, since you googled and verified, if Brian doesn't come back, you take 'er away, k?

My Dyslexic Friends said...

Game to be found in, "I Have a Dream!" ;)
